The new models have a range of 320 miles for the Model S and 269 miles for the Model X. This is significantly less than the range of the previous cheapest models, which had 405 miles for the Model S and 348 miles for the Model X.

Tesla says the new models have a shorter range because they have a smaller battery pack. The company says the smaller battery pack will make the cars more affordable and easier to produce.

It will be interesting to see how the new models are received by consumers. Some consumers may be willing to sacrifice range for a lower price. Others may be looking for the longest possible range, even if it means paying more. Tesla will need to carefully target the new models to the right consumers in order to be successful.

Some analysts believe that the new models could be a hit with consumers who are looking for an affordable electric car. The Model S Standard Range Plus is priced at just $78,490, which is significantly less than the starting price of the Model S Long Range. This could make it a more attractive option for consumers who are looking for an electric car but don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Other analysts are more skeptical about the new models. They argue that the shorter range could be a deal-breaker for many consumers. The Model S Standard Range Plus has a range of just 320 miles, which is not enough for many people who want to use their car for long-distance travel. It remains to be seen how the new models will be received by consumers. Tesla is hoping that the lower price will be enough to offset the shorter range, but it is too early to say for sure.
