Tesla has discontinued its Model S and Model X vehicles, ending custom orders and offering only existing inventory units. The models, which were pioneering EVs, are no longer available for new orders after a decade of production.
The Tesla Model S and Model X have been discontinued. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that custom orders for both models have been closed. The two EVs were the benchmark for modern EVs for the better part of a decade.
The Tesla Model S and Model X have been officially discontinued after over a decade in production. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X that custom orders for both models have been closed, and that the only available cars remaining are those sitting in inventory. In the United States, Tesla’s website redirects users to the inventory page when clicking the “Order” link, with 15 Model S units and 24 Model X’s waiting for customers. All inventory cars feature free DC fast charging at Tesla’s Superchargers and free lifetime Premium Connectivity, which includes satellite-view maps, weather forecasts, Sentry Mode, and music and video streaming. The Model S was the world’s first truly modern electric car, with plenty of driving range, fast charging speeds, plenty of space, comfort, and performance. It set the benchmark for what followed and put Tesla on the map as the biggest and most advanced EV brand. Introduced in 2012, the Model S went through several variations during its existence. Multiple changes were made under the skin, but the overall look of the car is almost identical to the first units that rolled off the assembly line 14 years ago. 2026 Tesla Model X and Model S Photo by: Tesla The same goes for the Model X. Production of the luxury SUV started in 2015, when it immediately gained popularity thanks to its so-called Falcon rear doors, as well as the massive interior space, practicality, and long-distance cruising abilities. The Model S and Model X shared the same underpinnings and were, for the longest time, the go-to luxury EVs. That started to change when the Model 3 was introduced in 2017. It was–and still is–a smaller and much more affordable electric car that gained a huge following thanks to its simple design and more appealing starting price. Then, in 2020, the Model S and Model X’s popularity decreased even further, as the Model Y crossover went under the spotlight, amassing huge sales figures. Slowly but surely, the Tesla Model S and Model X went from headline-making cars to obscurity, with the company relegating the two models to the “Other Models” category in its reports. Sales severely declined after the Model Y shot up in fame, and Tesla said it would discontinue the two flagship EVs in the second quarter to focus on autonomy and robotics. '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,' CEO Elon Musk said during the firm’s first-quarter earnings call in January. Last year, Tesla delivered 1.6 million Model 3 and Model Y cars worldwide, while the “Other Models” category, which includes the Model S, Model X, Cybertruck, and Semi, totaled just 50,850 units.
