Tesla is giving the Model S and Model X the ax. Recent sales figures help explain why.

On Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the company is ending production of its Model S and X vehicles.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Wednesday that the company will discontinue production of the Model S and Model X, reducing the lineup to essentially three vehicles. So, what's next?

Instead, the company focused on its best-selling SUV and sedan, the Model Y, and Model 3, while sales of the Model S and X dwindled. When reporting sales, Tesla lumps all of its premium models together in the "other models" category, and in the last quarter of 2025, it sold only 11,642 of these, a 51 percent year-over-year decrease.

The company’s chief executive, Elon Musk, said this week that it would stop making the car, an electric pioneer in 2012, as well as the Model X.

Lamentating the loss of Tesla’s Model S and Model X? There are a few good alternatives to Tesla’s electric sedan and SUV on the market that’ll give you comparable power and range.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the EV maker will discontinue the Model S and X, Tesla's premium sedan and SUV offerings, in the next quarter.

Tesla is in the process of sunsetting two of its oldest cars, the Model X and Model S. Will the discontinuation lead to higher resale values?

Tesla Model S and X face production end in 2026, but rarity, performance, and historical significance could boost collector value over time.
