Tesla has put the fork in the Model S and Model X as it takes a fork in the road.
Production of the brand’s first two volume models has wrapped up at the automaker’s factory in Fremont, Calif., as it prepares to convert the assembly area to build its new humanoid Optimus robots.
The last Model S was signed by workers on the line and will be put on display at the plant. The company coincidentally wrapped up the Model S and Model X runs with special Signature series editions that were offered by invite to the brand’s top customers for $159,420. Tesla made 250 Model S and 100 Model X available to order.
Model S production began in June 2012 and was followed by the Model X in 2015. It’s estimated that the pair have combined for more than 700,000 global sales, with their best year coming in 2016 when 76,230 were delivered.

Tesla doesn’t break out individual model sales and bundles the S and X with the Cybertruck on its reports, but Cox Automotive reports that there were 1.172 Model S and 2,346 Model X deliveries in the first quarter of 2026, while the figures for the Model 3 and Model Y were 31,672 and 78,591.
Tesla isn’t directly replacing the Model S and Model X, but will be launching two very different new models this year. The Semi is finally entering production at its factory in Nevada while assembly of the Cybercab is now underway at Tesla’s plant in Austin for deployment in Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet, although a date for the start of Cybercab retail sales has not been announced.
