Tesla Unveils Upgraded Model S and Model X with Fresh Design, Enhanced Comfort, and Extended Range

Tesla has rolled out a comprehensive update package for its flagship electric vehicles, the Model S and Model X, marking a significant refresh that includes design tweaks, comfort upgrades, and performance enhancements.

The American EV giant has focused on elevating both visual appeal and driving experience in its most premium offerings. The facelifted Model S and Model X now feature a redesigned front bumper and updated wheel options—19- and 21-inch rims for the Model S, and 20- and 22-inch variants for the Model X. These exterior changes are complemented by a striking new Frost Blue paint option, further distinguishing the updated lineup.

Among the key upgrades are new adaptive headlights for improved nighttime visibility and a front bumper-mounted video camera, hinting at further refinements in Tesla‘s self-driving technology.

Inside, Tesla has introduced better soundproofing, courtesy of an advanced active noise cancellation system. Both models also debut dynamic ambient lighting with animated effects across the dashboard and door panels, adding a modern and immersive touch to the cabin experience.

The Model X sees a noticeable boost in practicality. Rear-seat passengers will enjoy more room in the third row, while the trunk has been redesigned to offer improved cargo space—an important feature for families and long-distance travelers.

Performance also gets a subtle yet meaningful lift. The refreshed Model S now boasts an extended driving range of up to 660 kilometers (approximately 410 miles), reaffirming Tesla’s leadership in long-range EVs.

These updates come with a modest price increase. In the U.S. market, the Model S now starts at $84,990, while the Model X is priced from $89,990—both up by $5,000 from previous base prices.

With these changes, Tesla aims to keep its top-tier models competitive and appealing in an increasingly crowded electric vehicle landscape, combining style, comfort, and cutting-edge tech to maintain its edge in the luxury EV segment.

Mexican police will use Tesla Cybertrucks during the World Cup

Although Tesla Cybertrucks are not achieving the expected results in the market, the authorities in the Mexican state of Jalisco have decided to renew their police vehicle fleet with several examples of this car.

In 2026, the United States, Canada and Mexico will host the World Cup, and preparations have already begun to secure the large number of fans who will arrive in these countries next summer. Therefore, the police in Talisca will receive 678 new patrol vehicles that will be deployed in tourist areas to increase the safety of tourists.

One Cybertruck has already been seen on the streets of the city, as well as two Ford F-Series pickup trucks. Mayor Pablo Lemus Navarro is determined to ensure that security during the World Cup is at the highest level, but the cost has still upset a number of local residents. The Cybertruck is covered in matte black foil with a police livery. It is equipped with police lights built into the front and rear bumpers, as well as sills. There are no photos of the interior yet, but it is likely that it has been modified and equipped with additional police equipment.

At the beginning of the year, Las Vegas also announced that their police received 10 Tesla Cybertruck cars and some of them will be used by SWAT units. It could be an opportunity for the American company to show something positive at a time when their sales are in free fall.

Tesla temporarily suspended production of Model Y and Cybertruck

Tesla has been in free fall for several months, and as a result, production of the Cybertruck and Model Y at its Texas factory has been temporarily halted. The news comes from employees who were given the option of taking seven days off or being assigned to cleaning and training duties.

The Model Y is the company’s best-selling car, and one of the best-selling cars in the world, but the new information could have a major impact on sales of the car. Production breaks are nothing new, but this time it’s a longer-than-usual break. Last year, workers on the Cybertruck assembly line were told to stay home for a few days, even though the Cybertruck outsold all other electric pickup trucks in the US. It’s clear that demand for the vehicle has waned after its initial boom.

Since its launch, Tesla has had high expectations for the Cybertruck, with the company saying it has received over 2 million reservations. The plan was to produce a quarter of a million units annually, but sales haven’t been on track. In 2024, Tesla sold just 38,965 Cybertruck units, while in Q1 this year it sold 6,406 units, which is significantly less than in the third and fourth quarters of 2024, when sales were twice as high.

The Cybertruck has been the target of attacks in recent months, and in several cases, customers have reported problems with the car. In February 2024, one owner reported corrosion on the stainless steel body. Of course, a stainless steel body will show imperfections over time, and Tesla also states in the Cybertruck user manual that steel panels are susceptible to corrosive substances when not washed regularly. However, the customer claimed that the corrosion occurred several days after he bought the car. Another owner said that he bought the Cybertruck on February 1st and that the corrosion appeared after 11 days and 613 kilometers. He contacted his service advisor but was told that Tesla had a procedure to fix the problem, but that the facility did not have the tools and had not previously performed repairs of this type.

In March 2025, Tesla recalled 46,000 Cybertrucks due to body parts falling off. The recall covered cars manufactured between November 13, 2023 and February 27, 2024, and the company believed that only 1% of these cars had the problem.

During the last year, Tesla recorded a drop in deliveries on the global market by 13 percent, which is the worst result in the last two years. In the United States, sales fell by 5.6 percent, while the overall auto industry saw sales grow by 7.3 percent.
