Tesla is selling off large batches of new, unused Model S and Model X parts through B-Stock, a liquidation auction platform, according to a report from Not a Tesla App published August 17, 2026. The listings follow the end of Model S and Model X production and the removal of the Fremont assembly line that built them, which Tesla cleared out in 46 days to make room for Optimus manufacturing.
What’s actually up for auction
The listings are sized for repair shops and parts resellers, not individual owners. One auction offers 171 Model S center-console assemblies and related components, carrying a combined MSRP of $114,875, with bidding starting at just $175. A separate Model X auction covers 775 interior-pillar components valued at $270,645, with bidding opening at $100. Other listings include six pallets of Model X exterior lighting and chassis parts (MSRP $87,870) and nine pallets holding more than 10,000 Model S and Model X electrical components valued at $842,390.
Why Tesla is doing this now
The auctions line up with Tesla’s broader wind-down of the two nameplates. Model S and Model X production ended earlier in 2026, and the Fremont line that built them has been retooled for Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot. Selling off leftover parts inventory in bulk is a standard way for an automaker to clear warehouse space once a model is no longer being built, rather than a signal about how it plans to support the cars already on the road — hundreds of thousands of which remain in service today.
Tesla has also said it intends to open-source Model S and Model X design and software materials, which could eventually let third-party manufacturers produce replacement components — though Tesla hasn’t given a timeline for that.
What that means for you
If you own a Model S or Model X, nothing about your existing warranty changes: standard vehicle coverage still runs 4 years or 50,000 miles, and battery and drive unit coverage still runs 8 years or 150,000 miles, including on recently delivered Signature series cars. These auctions are Tesla liquidating excess factory stock in bulk pallet lots, not evidence that parts for in-service cars are running out — but they’re a reminder that as production recedes further into the past, it’s worth keeping your service center in the loop on any parts lead times for less common repairs, rather than assuming supply will stay as fast as it was when the cars were still in production.
