Tesla to discontinue affordable 60kWh Model S

The entry point into Tesla’s electric club is becoming a little more expensive. The automaker on Friday confirmed it plans to discontinue the 60kWh Model S, which is currently its most affordable option.

Buyers have until April 16 to decide if they want the Model S 60 or Model S 60D, so you still have a few weeks to decide. Once the options are discontinued, the entry model going forward will be the 75kWh version, which starts at $77,800.

The Model S 60 and Model S 60D actually come with a 75kWh battery, but customers can only get that extra range by unlocking the extra capacity. And when I say unlock, I mean buy. Owners of the Model S 60 had the option to upgrade the battery to 75kWh for $9,500, which could be purchased through Tesla’s smartphone app.
