The final Tesla Model S and Model X have rolled off the production line. The last Model S & the last Model X have been produced at Fremont Factory 14 years of history for Model S, 11 years for Model X 🫡 pic.twitter.com/5sSscIe1f3 — Tesla (@Tesla) May 10, 2026 During a January earnings call, Elon Musk declared that production of the S and X Tesla models was coming to an end. “We expect to wind down S and X production next quarter and basically stop production,” Musk said, adding, “That is slightly sad, but it’s time to bring the S and X programs to an end, and it’s part of our overall shift to an autonomous future.” Tesla’s ramp-down of its high-end models culminated in the production of a “Signature Series” of souped-up S and X Plaid models with special trim available to be purchased by a select group of invite-only VIPs, according to an X post last month by IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey.

It’s a fairly subdued ending for the S and X models, one that has been overshadowed by a pivot to automation, and a shift away from what were essentially automotive luxury goods. Tesla is a separate, publicly traded company from its fellow Elon Musk-led company SpaceX, but they’re now more connected than ever via the Terafab chipmaking project. Late last year, Musk was spittballing about sending Tesla’s Optimus robots to Mars.
