Tesla ended new production of the Model S and Model X on June 30, 2026, closing out a run that started in 2012. Elon Musk said on Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings call in January that “Model S & X production will wind down next quarter,” and by April 2026 custom orders had stopped for good. Tesla is converting the Fremont line that built both cars to build Optimus robots instead.
If you still want one, only two paths are left: whatever’s sitting in Tesla’s remaining new-vehicle inventory, or the used market.
As of early April 2026, Tesla had roughly 600 Model S and Model X units left worldwide, almost all of them in the US, and Model X had effectively sold out in the US market, with Model S described as “dwindling by the hour” and Plaid trims gone first. Those figures are months old by the time you’re reading this and stock only moves in one direction now, so check Tesla’s own Model S and Model X inventory pages directly rather than relying on any article, including this one.
If new inventory is gone by the time you look, your remaining option is a used Model S or Model X, either through Tesla’s own pre-owned listings or a private sale or independent dealer. Expect prices to firm up rather than drop, since the pool of “new” units can only shrink from here.
What happens if you already own one, or buy one of the last new ones? Musk said Tesla will “continue to support Model S & X programs for as long as people own the vehicles” — service, parts, and software updates. Tesla hasn’t published a timeline for how long that lasts, and the underlying warranty coverage doesn’t change: the 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and 8-year/150,000-mile battery and drive unit warranty still apply the same as before the announcement.
One practical note if you’re cross-shopping: any Model S or Model X you buy now, new or used, was built before June 30, so trims and options are whatever’s physically on a lot rather than something you configure to order. If a specific configuration matters more than getting a factory-new car, a used-listing search will usually turn up more choices than what’s left in Tesla’s own new inventory.
