Improvements include a new drivetrain design, adaptive suspension system as well as increasing each vehicle's driving range.

Tesla Inc, struggling with delay in delivery of its higher-priced Model S and X luxury cars, said on Tuesday it will bring back lower-priced options for those cars and roll out upgrades to improve their driving range and re-charging speed.

Tesla has since said it will keep higher-volume stores open, while announcing a 3 percent price increase on some models. The lower-priced options, or the 'standard range' versions, of Model X and Model S were available for purchase on Tesla's website after Tuesday's announcement for $83,000 and $78,000 , respectively. Estimated delivery of both cars was set for May.
