Demand remains particularly strong for Tesla’s uniquely-positioned Model X, and Tesla’s larger price cuts on Model X will keep that momentum going through the remainder of the quarter.

While Model S and even Model X are comparatively low-volume offerings from Tesla, cost reductions throughout the automaker’s supply chain and production processes continue being passed along to consumers as the automaker finds new efficiencies across its entire lineup.

This is the first time that Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid share the same pricing: Tesla customers need to choose whether they want the quickest production car in the world, or a competent SUV with a 0–60 time that’s about half a second slower yet still comparable to a supercar like a Bugatti.

They’re two distinctly different vehicles, so one may be better than the other for the right customer beyond the inherent differences of form factor: Model X Plaid offers Tesla’s best combination of features in our opinion, while Model S Plaid offers the best overall range and acceleration.
