The new Star Diamond Black paint version of Model S starts at RMB 855,900 ($120,400), while the same finish for Model X starts at RMB 895,900 ($126,040).
Tesla announced on November 21 that the Model S and Model X have received an update for the China market.
The latest refresh focuses on exterior color options, interior refinements and driving comfort enhancements, rather than major changes to the powertrain.
The updated models add two new exterior paint choices—Frost Blue and Star Diamond Black—along with redesigned wheels, offering more customization to buyers.
Inside the cabin, Tesla has introduced dynamic ambient lighting to enhance immersion through lighting effects.
Addressing previous user feedback on ride refinement, Tesla said the revised Model S/X improve comfort and cabin quietness through recalibrated suspension tuning.
According to Tesla China’s website, the Star Diamond Black Model S (dual-motor AWD) starts at RMB 855,900 ($120,400).
The model offers a CLTC range of 715 km, a top speed of 240 km/h and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.2 seconds.
The Star Diamond Black Model X (dual-motor AWD) starts at RMB 895,900 ($126,040), with a CLTC range of 700 km, a top speed of 240 km/h and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds.
Launched in 2012 and 2015 respectively, the Model S and Model X entered the Chinese market in 2013 and 2016 and have undergone multiple overhauls since.
In April this year, due to tariff changes, Tesla abruptly removed the Model S and Model X new-order interfaces from its China online store, leaving only existing inventory available.
Tesla VP of Automotive Engineering Lars Moravy previously disclosed plans for deeper technical upgrades to the Model S/X lineup in late 2025, suggesting that this update is likely an interim refresh. The earlier halt in new orders may have aimed at clearing inventory ahead of the revision.
