Standard Range is rated to go up to 269 miles, as opposed to 348 miles for the currently “regular” model. Battery quality deteriorates over time.
The smaller range, according to Reuters, has nothing to do with battery-pack size, cell chemistry, or physical variations.
Software has narrowed the spectrum of these new models, which streamlines manufacture but may draw criticism on a fundamental basis. The additions might be a ploy to increase S and X sales amid a barrage.
The Model S Standard Range starts at $79,880 (all prices include a $1,390 delivery fee), which is $10,000 less than its non-battery-limited equivalent.
The Model X also costs $10,000 less, at $89,880. Still, neither model qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit. Next month, deliveries for the new variations will begin.

With price tags reduced by $10,000, Tesla is releasing Standard Range Model S and Model X trims that, as the name implies, have lesser ranges than current models.
The two versions actually have the same battery packs as the more powerful variants since Tesla has software-locked a portion of the battery capacity.
Tesla Model S and Model X already make up a minor portion. Of its sales, but the company hasn’t provided any information on its plans for a comprehensive redesign of these vehicles.
The Tesla Model S and Model X haven’t been even somewhat inexpensive. In a while, let alone distinctive in their markets, with the former being more than a decade old.
