The Model S and Model X are heading to retirement. CEO Elon Musk confirmed during an earnings call that production of both models will cease by Q2 2026, with the Fremont factory lines being shut down.
Musk called it an “honorable discharge.”
From electric sedans to humanoid robots
The Fremont factory space currently dedicated to Model S and Model X production will be converted into a manufacturing facility for Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot. The company is targeting mass production of 1 million Optimus units annually.
The remaining Model S and Model X units are being offered with sweeteners to move them off the lot, including free Full Self-Driving capability and free Supercharging.
