Tesla Model S and X: Increased Range, but Older Models

The Tesla Model S and Model X are once again available for order in France in restyled versions.

This October marks the official return of these two iconic models, which have embodied the premium craftsmanship of the American manufacturer for over a decade. But while Tesla continues to refine them, the formula is becoming well known.

On the outside, the updates remain discreet: new bodywork, new wheels (up to 22 inches for the Model X), and the addition of a “Frost Blue” color. Nothing spectacular, but everything is designed to optimize aerodynamics and thus efficiency. Inside, efforts focus on comfort: better acoustic insulation, absorbent materials, and a revised active noise cancellation system. The air suspension has been recalibrated, while dynamic ambient lighting and adaptive headlights modernize the overall look.

In terms of performance, the manufacturer remains true to its DNA: the Model S still accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds (2.1 seconds for the Plaid), but now offers greater range. It now claims up to 744 km WLTP, compared to 652 km previously. The Model X, for its part, reaches 649 km, or 609 km in its Plaid version.

But while the figures are still impressive, the timeline is starting to weigh. The Model S celebrated its tenth anniversary, and although Tesla continues to update it, we are talking about a technical base that dates back to another era of electric vehicles. With prices consistently exceeding €110,000, these restyled versions now face much fresher European competition. With the complete renewal of their premium electric ranges underway, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi can sleep peacefully: Tesla is perfecting, but no longer revolutionizing.
