Tesla eliminates the Model S and Model X
Digest more
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.
On an earnings call January 28, Tesla CEO Elon Musk told investors the automaker will “basically stop production of Model S and X next quarter.”
Space in the EV-maker’s Fremont factory will be used to produce one million Optimus 3 robots annually, Musk says.
After almost 14 years in production, the Tesla Model S will be discontinued next quarter. This was Tesla’s first EV designed from the ground up, and it showed that fully electric cars could be fast and comfortable.
