The Tesla Design S as well as Design X are obtaining a couple of tiny updates simply days after one more round of rate decreases.
Many evident is a brand-new paint shade that Tesla calls Ultra Red (imagined over as well as seen in the video clip listed below). It’s being provided for both the Design S as well as Design X, as well as it will certainly set you back an added $3,000, making it one of the most costly paint choice on the food selection.

Along with the red paint, Tesla claims its glass roofing system on both cars considers much less as well as allows 5 times as much light as previously. Tesla complies with that by stating the brand-new roofing system supplies the exact same degree of UV defense– that stated, glass roof coverings still have their minuses as well as ands also. We do not understand just how much lighter the brand-new glass roofing system is, yet any kind of quantity of weight reduction is an internet favorable for enhancing the auto’s center of mass.
One more efficiency enhancement specifies to the Design S Plaid as well as X Plaid variations. Both of these versions will certainly currently include “enhanced brake pads with greater thermal capability.” The brake efficiency was just one of our large issues in examining the Design S Plaid, as well as while this most likely will not make them racetrack-ready, much better pads must supply an increase to roadway efficiency.
The last upgrade Tesla comprehensive today is the enhancement of a round guiding wheel as a choice. The yoke is still readily available, yet you can currently spec a round wheel from the manufacturing facility. We extremely recommend you do so if buying a Design S or Design X, as the yoke is merely even worse than a wheel in real-world usage. Both the yoke as well as wheel are no-cost choices.
