Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed this week that the company has officially stopped producing the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. Custom orders are no longer accepted, the online configurator has been removed, and approximately 600 vehicles remain in worldwide inventory.

Musk shared a throwback photo from the original Model S production launch at the Fremont factory in June 2012, writing on X: "Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that's left are some in inventory. We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era."

A Legacy in Numbers

The Model S launched in June 2012 and became the world's best-selling plug-in electric vehicle in both 2015 and 2016, moving over 50,000 units in 2015 alone. The Model X followed in 2015 with its signature falcon-wing doors. Together, the two vehicles accounted for more than 610,000 deliveries over their production runs.

According to EV-CPO tracking data, Tesla has roughly 295 new Model S units and 301 new Model X units left globally, nearly all in the United States. Remaining units come with free Supercharger access and lifetime Premium Connectivity as clearing incentives.

Factory Conversion

The Fremont production lines previously used for Model S and X will be converted to manufacture Optimus Gen 3 humanoid robots, with a long-term target of one million units per year. Musk first announced the transition during Tesla's Q4 2025 earnings call in January, describing it as an "honorable discharge" for the two vehicles.

The move marks Tesla's definitive pivot from luxury EVs to robotics at a factory that has been producing cars since the NUMMI era in 1984.
