Tesla will end production of its Model S sedan and Model X SUV as the company shifts focus away from traditional electric vehicles and toward robotics and artificial intelligence, CEO Elon Musk announced on Wednesday’s investor call.
Musk said the Fremont, California factory currently used to build the Model S and X will be repurposed to manufacture Tesla’s humanoid Optimus robot.
Musk has repeatedly described Optimus as potentially “the biggest product of all time,” claiming it could eventually eliminate poverty.
Tesla said it plans to begin producing Optimus before the end of 2026, with public sales targeted for 2027.
The discontinuation of the Model S and X closes a chapter for Tesla’s earliest premium vehicles and underscores how decisively Musk is betting the company’s future on robotics and artificial intelligence rather than traditional car manufacturing.
