Tesla Updates Model S and Model X for 2025

Saudi Arabia : Tesla has made updates to its 2025 flagship sedans and SUVs as they have made subtle yet effective changes. This includes longer range, more comfort, and fresh tech features.

• Tesla Model S Long Range can now reach 410 miles on a single charge.
• There is a new suspension tuning for smoother ride and noise control.
• They have added front bumper cameras and smart tech to boost ease of driving.

Tesla has quietly rolled out updates to its Model S and Model X for the 2025 model year. The focus of these improvements is on range, comfortable rides, and high-tech features, as they aim to keep the two flagships sharp in an EV market that is increasingly competitive.

The changes, though subtle, push the two premium electric vehicles ahead. However, the new features come at a slightly higher price point.

Performance and Efficiency Updates

The 2025 Model S Long Range now has an EPA-rated 410-mile range, which makes it the latest longest-range production by Tesla. They did not achieve this five-mile increase by enlarging the battery, but through smarter aerodynamics, tweaks in suspension, and improvement to noise insulation.

There is also a boost in range and an extra 2.5 cubic feet of cabin space for the Model X. With these changes, it is more practical for passengers and cargo without any effect on exterior dimensions.

Tesla also made minor changes to its high-performance Plaid trims. The Model S Plaid is now 26 lb heavier and limited to a 149 mph top speed, down from 200 mph.

The Tesla Model X Plaid has gained 183 lb but retains its top speed. Tesla has also made the yoke steering wheel optional only on Plaid models as they drop it from the base AWD variants.

New Features at a Glance

• They have refined adaptive suspension to give quieter and more stable rides.
• They have added ambient LED lighting animations to the two models.
• There is an enhanced Autopilot vision with new front bumper cameras.
• They also added visual coverage and it now benefits “Actually Smart Summon”.
• Yoke steering is still exclusive to Plaid trims.

Interior and Tech Refinements

On the inside, the cabin welcomes drivers with new LED lighting animations, a feature borrowed from Tesla’s newer Model 3 and Model Y.

In addition, Model S and Model X now have improved Autopilot vision systems, which is thanks to new front bumper cameras. With this, drivers will get better visibility, especially for features like Summon.

Core screen layouts and software have not changed. However, the added tech means the brand is still pushing for advanced self-driving capabilities.

Tesla has also been testing deeper updates like steer-by-wire systems and 48-volt electrical architecture, but they will likely come in a later refresh.

Pricing and Market Outlook

Tesla has raised prices for all variants by $4,500 to $5,000. The Model S Long Range now starts at $84,990, with the Plaid at $99,990. For the Model X, prices begin at $89,990, rising to $104,990 for the Plaid. These figures are U.S.-based and revised KSA pricing will come later in the year.
