Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the end of production for the Model S and Model X. Current inventory for these flagship vehicles has dropped to a few hundred units. Musk urged potential buyers to place orders immediately before remaining stock is depleted.
The decision concludes a 14-year production run for the models that established Tesla’s brand. The company is phasing out these lower-volume luxury vehicles to reallocate factory resources.
Tesla will repurpose production capacity at the Fremont plant for the mass production of the Optimus humanoid robot. This shift aligns with Musk’s long-term strategy to prioritize artificial intelligence, autonomy, and robotics over traditional passenger cars.
