Tesla has reportedly halted the production of the Model S and Model X in recent months and the latest directive from the automaker advised dealerships to accelerate the clearing out of the existing inventory. The move is seen to pave the way for the long-rumored design refresh of the two electric vehicles.

The Model S and Model X are Tesla's oldest EVs so redesigning them is unsurprising at all. And it makes sense that before heading in that direction, the company would want to push out the remaining stocks and it was understood that the goal is to liquidate all units within January.

That should tell of the plan to implement the redesign in the coming months, and the move should benefit Tesla fans who would not mind getting the EVs in their original state.

CNET said Tesla will likely package the Model S and Model X with promotional offers to draw in buyers. The company could decide to dangle discounts but the likelier lure could come in the form of incentives.

In the past, the automaker offered free Supercharging access for a specified period and free subscription to Full Self-Driving and other services so such promos could be attached with the sale of the two EVs. If Tesla will make use of that option, it should serve as a clear indication that refreshing the vehicles is now an urgent matter for the company.

And it will be a welcome move on Tesla's part, which is expected to incorporate the design language that was employed with the recently released Model 3 and Model Y. It seemed that in redesigning the Model S and Model X, Tesla is looking to unify the looks of its EV roster.

The design refresh is long overdue, Electrek reported, adding the revamp was first reported in 2018 but was set aside temporarily when Elon Musk decided to focus on ramping up the production of the Model 3. Now that the manufacturing area of the EV has achieved stability, it's about time to give the older EV lines a fresh touch.

For this task, it is believed that Tesla will be implementing Project Palladium that will see the setting up of new production lines to specifically handle the mass assembly of new EV models. The project is designed to re-work the Model and Model X with the use of the same manufacturing facilities, the report added.

And if the design refresh of the two EVs will happen at the same time, they will likely share updated features such as the use of more premium materials on the vehicles' interior. It is expected too that the redesigned Model S and Model X will feature a massive touchscreen panel in the center and a smaller cluster of instruments.
