Tesla Motors has just announced that the Model S lineup will be expanded to include two lower-end versions: 60 and 60D.

New 60 And 60D Versions Join Model S Lineup

The new Model S 60 has 210 miles of range and a top speed of 130 MPH. It can zip from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.5 seconds. Pricing for this RWD version of the Model S starts at $66,000.

Tesla will also offer an AWD version. This version, called the 60D, starts at $71,000. Specs for the 60D include range of 218 miles. 0 to 60 MPH in 5.2 seconds. Top speed of 130 MPH.

Both the 60 and 60D actually come fitted with 75 kWh battery packs, which can be unlocked via a software update for $8,500 prior to delivery or $9,000 at any point in time after delivery.

Tesla says that unlocking the extra kWhs will increase range by 19%. So expect range to be around 249 miles for the 60 and 259 miles for the 60D.

75 kWh Range Upgrade Option

The new versions of the Model S are available for ordering starting today.

With the release of the 60 and 60D variants (both upgradeable to 75 kWh), there's no longer a need for the 70 or 70D models (which were also upgradeable to 75 kWh), according to Tesla, so those two versions of the Model S have been discontinued.
