Tesla has stopped building the Model S and Model X. Here’s what that means for owners.

Tesla has stopped manufacturing the Model S and Model X. Custom orders for both vehicles are closed, and Tesla is now selling only the pre-built inventory that remains, according to Electrek, which reported the change on April 1, 2026, along with Elon Musk’s statement that “Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end.”

Musk first signaled the move during Tesla’s fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call in January 2026, calling it an “honorable discharge” for both vehicles as the company shifts focus toward autonomy. The Model S launched in June 2012 and the Model X in 2015; combined, the two nameplates delivered more than 610,000 vehicles over their production runs, per Electrek’s reporting.

What’s actually left to buy

As of Electrek’s April 1 report, roughly 600 pre-built units remained in global inventory — about 295 Model S and 301 Model X, nearly all of them in the United States, with Canada and Europe already showing zero new units available. That inventory has continued to sell down in the months since, so anyone interested in one of the remaining cars should expect the selection to keep shrinking and should check Tesla’s inventory page directly rather than assume availability.

Buyers of the remaining inventory get a couple of built-in perks: free DC fast charging at Tesla Superchargers and free lifetime Premium Connectivity, according to Electrek. Some locations were also offering discounts on remaining units, ranging from roughly $1,600 to more than $7,000 depending on the car and region — though as with any inventory deal, treat those figures as a snapshot rather than a guarantee, since pricing on remaining stock moves with what’s left on the lot.

If you already own one

Tesla’s announcements have focused on production and ordering, not on service. Neither Tesla’s statements nor the reporting on this shift has addressed what happens to routine service, parts availability, or existing warranty coverage for Model S and Model X owners going forward — Tesla has not published specifics on that, and this article won’t guess at them. If you own one of these cars, your existing new-vehicle warranty terms don’t change because production ended; if you have specific concerns about long-term parts or service availability, that’s a question worth putting directly to a Tesla service center rather than assuming either way.

The Fremont line that built the Model S and Model X is being converted to build Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot, according to Electrek — a concrete sign that this is a permanent wind-down rather than a pause.
