Tesla has finally discontinued Model S and Model X production - only 600 cars remain in warehouses (1 photo)

Tesla's oldest mass-produced model is the Model S electric sedan, which has been in production in California since June 2012. At the end of January, company CEO Elon Musk announced the phasing out of production of not only the Model S but also the Model X crossover. Currently, the company has no more than 600 units of both models in certain configurations, which cannot be customized, remaining in its warehouses.



This week, Elon Musk added that orders for custom-configured versions of the Model S and Model X have been discontinued. Only existing, ready-to-drive electric vehicles, of which there are approximately 600 in the United States, are available for purchase.

Musk stated that Tesla will hold some kind of farewell ceremony to mark the "end of an era," and that he is very fond of the models themselves.

Tesla's oldest California facility, where the Model S and Model X were previously produced, will begin producing Optimus humanoid robots after a technological upgrade. Tesla's largest facility, located in the Texas capital, will also produce these robots, but alongside current electric vehicle models. The Model X, which was produced in California since 2015, is remembered by many for its rear-seat liftgate. Combined, the Model S and Model X have sold more than 610,000 units. Currently, 295 new Model S and 301 Model X crossovers remain in the company's US warehouses. The configurator for ordering new cars on Tesla's website is disabled; you can only choose from existing vehicles.

Demonstration units of the Model S and Model X are also selling out at the same time. The models' popularity has been steadily declining, and the latest update in June 2025 brought only cosmetic improvements that failed to significantly impact sales.
