After a three-month order pause, the Tesla Model S and Model X are available in Europe again. Deliveries began in November with meaningful updates to comfort, range, and safety. But this is a final chapter — Tesla has confirmed production of both models ends around June 2026.
What Changed
The refreshed models bring upgrades focused on ride quality and efficiency. Tesla fitted improved insulation and enhanced active noise cancellation across both vehicles, paired with retuned air suspension. The result, according to Tesla, is a noticeably quieter and smoother cabin.
Range has improved as well. The Model S Long Range now achieves up to 744 km on the WLTP cycle, while the Model X reaches 600 km. New aerodynamic wheel designs and low-rolling-resistance tyres contribute to the efficiency gains.
| Model | Starting Price | WLTP Range |
|---|---|---|
| Model S Long Range | €109,990 | 744 km |
| Model S Plaid | TBC | 611 km |
| Model X | €114,990 | 600 km |
Other additions include adaptive headlights, blind-spot warning lights integrated into the mirrors, and a front-facing camera for improved visibility. The Model X gains more spacious third-row seating.
The Plaid Gets Sharper
The Model S Plaid receives a redesigned front fascia with a new splitter, plus a carbon rear spoiler and diffuser for stability at speed. Carbon-sleeved drive rotors are new, and the performance figures remain extraordinary: 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds and a top speed of 322 km/h.
A Limited Window
Tesla stopped taking Model S and Model X orders in Europe in July 2025, only to reopen the configurator in late October with these updates. The window for ordering is narrow — custom orders close in April 2026, and production at the Fremont factory will end around June 2026 as Tesla reallocates the space for Optimus humanoid robot manufacturing.
For European buyers interested in Tesla's flagship models, this is effectively the last chance. At these price points, the Model S and Model X compete with the Porsche Taycan, BMW i7, and Mercedes EQS — but they remain the only options offering Tesla's Supercharger network integration and over-the-air update ecosystem.
Whether Tesla will eventually replace these models is unclear. For now, the focus is squarely on high-volume vehicles and robotics.
