Tesla to Discontinue Model S and Model X to Focus on Robotics

Tesla will end production of its Model S sedan and Model X SUV in the second quarter of 2026, CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday during the company's quarterly earnings call. The decision was made to free up space at Tesla's Fremont, California factory for the production of Optimus robots, according to Musk.

Musk stated that the company will continue to support existing Model S and Model X owners for the lifespan of their vehicles. "It's time to basically bring the Model S and X programs to an end with an honorable discharge, because we're really moving into a future that is based on autonomy," he said, urging interested buyers to order soon.

The Model S and Model X are both built at Tesla's Fremont factory. Once production ceases, the facility will be repurposed for the manufacturing of Optimus robots, marking a significant shift in the company's focus.
