"Tesla has officially started its process of sunsetting the Model S and Model X just months after the company confirmed it would stop producing the two flagship vehicles in 2026. This step marks the end of an era for the vehicles that helped establish not only Tesla's prowess as an automaker but also its status as a disruptor in the entire car industry."
"The move to bring closure to the Model S and Model X aligns with CEO Elon Musk's plans for Tesla moving forward. Musk said the two cars deserved an 'honorable discharge' for what they have done for the company."
"Sales of these premium models have declined sharply in recent years, and even with Plaid configurations that are performance-forward, the company still has had trouble getting them sold."
Tesla has set a cutoff date of March 31, 2026, for new orders of the Model S and Model X, marking the end of production for these models. This decision follows a decline in sales and aligns with CEO Elon Musk's vision for the company's future. The production lines for these vehicles will be repurposed for the high-volume manufacturing of the Optimus humanoid robot, targeting a production rate of one million units annually. The Model S and Model X have significantly contributed to Tesla's reputation but are being phased out.
