Starting next week, Tesla is going to stop manufacturing its 75 kWh battery pack for Model S and X. Which will significantly increase the base price of these two brand cars. This measure continues with the cuts in its range, which already began with the disappearance of the access versions called 60D.
Tesla introduced 75 kWh batteries for the Model S and Model X in 2016. Now, just over two years later, Elon Musk has announced his demise for these models, and more importantly, without announcing any replacement at the moment. former CEO wrote on Twitter that those interested in 75D version They have until Sunday night to order the vehicle.
The prices of the 75D in Spain
Unless new changes are announced, this would result in the disappearance of the cheapest model within the range of Model S and X. The price of the Model S 75D in Spain is 100.132 euros, while the next one on the list would be the 100D with a price of 120.188 euros.
In the case of the Model X, the 75D that will disappear is currently priced at 107.021 euros. So the 100D will remain as access to the range with a price of 124.011 euros. Tesla has declined to comment on this change, beyond saying that soon they will make more modifications in the range of their vehicles.
Upcoming Changes at Tesla
Possibly these future changes have to do with Musk's intention to move away from categorizing batteries by kWh. Something they already did with him Model 3, which they advertised simply with a “long-range” battery pack and a “mid-range” battery pack. Also, last week, the automaker reduced the prices of all its cars in the US, to compensate for the elimination of aid for electric cars that is taking place in that country.
