The large, luxurious liftback and crossover SUV duo, long one of the most premium vehicles, will cease production this year.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk made the announcement during the fourth quarter 2025 earnings conference call. The company also confirmed a three percent decline in total revenue in 2025 to $94.8 billion (~135 billion Australian dollars).

“It is time to end the Model S and X programs with an honorable discharge,” Mr. Musk said.

“It’s a little sad, but it’s time to end the S and X programs and move to an autonomous future.
“As my profile picture on X has been there for a few months, the future is autonomous.”

Tesla does not report Model S and Model X deliveries separately, but lumps them together with the Cybertruck. Still, the company delivered only 50,850 vehicles in these three model lines last year, compared to 1,585,279 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
That was down from 85,133 last year, which was also the first full year of Cybertruck production.
While the Model S and Model X are being discontinued, Tesla will begin production of its autonomous Cybercab in April.
“I truly believe that the only vehicles we will make in the long term will be autonomous vehicles, with the exception of the next-generation Roadster, which we hope to debut in April,” Mr. Musk said.
The Model S was Tesla’s first mass-produced model and went into production in 2012. This was followed in 2015 by the Model X, a large three-row crossover SUV with unusual “falcon-wing doors”.
Although both vehicles have been in production for many years, they have received various updates over their lifetime.
However, a refresh of both models in 2021 – which brought new interior design and performance Plaid flagships – meant the end of right-hand drive production, although the facelifted models were initially confirmed and even priced for our market.
