EV giant Tesla Inc TSLA on Thursday changed the range estimate for select variants of Model S, X, and Y. The company now shows a lower range than before on some versions of its vehicles on the website.
What Happened: Tesla’s website now shows a range of 242-260 miles for the base model of the Model Y, 292-310 miles for the Long Range variant, and 285 miles for the Performance version. This is a nearly 20-mile drop in range on the two higher-end variants of the company’s most popular vehicle.
Model X and S order pages also show similar changes in range estimates. The range on Model S and X variants has been dropped by as much as 37 miles.
Tesla did not explain the drop. Benzinga has reached out to the company but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
The prices of the vehicles remain unchanged.
