The company’s chief executive, Elon Musk, said this week that it would stop making the car, an electric pioneer in 2012, as well as the Model X.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the EV maker will discontinue the Model S and X, Tesla's premium sedan and SUV offerings, in the next quarter.

The Fremont factory will still manufacture Model 3 and Y, but the space where Model S and X are made will instead focus on mass production of Tesla's Gen 3 Optimus robots.

Tesla is in the process of sunsetting two of its oldest cars, the Model X and Model S. Will the discontinuation lead to higher resale values?

Tesla will discontinue the Model S and X this spring, converting Fremont production to its Optimus robot program.

We can still remember reading the reviews from 2012. Like it or not, the Tesla Model S was pivotal in making EVs gain mass-market appeal, not just in America, but worldwide. It helped that it was a hugely competent car and practically set the baseline for EVs in the coming years.

Tesla will discontinue the Model S and Model X in the second quarter of 2026, Elon Musk said in an earnings call with investors today. No advance word was given about the cancellations, making it an abrupt ending for Tesla’s two original flagship EVs.
