Credit: Tesla Tesla's Model S and Model X cars are now available at a lower price, but it comes at the expense of range. As noticed by Electrek, Tesla's U.S. website now has "Standard Range" variants of both the Model S and the Model X on offer. Both versions reduce the price of the regular variant by $10,000, bringing the price to $78,490 for the Model S, and $88,490 for the Model X. By choosing the cheapest variant, you also lose quite a bit of range, which is 320 miles for the Model S (down from 405 miles on the standard variant), and 269 miles for the Model X (down from 348 miles on the standard variant). The "Standard Range" models are also a bit slower than the regular variant, though the top speed stays the same. Mashable Light Speed
