The Fremont factory will still manufacture Model 3 and Y, but the space where Model S and X are made will instead focus on mass production of Tesla's Gen 3 Optimus robots.

Tesla is in the process of sunsetting two of its oldest cars, the Model X and Model S. Will the discontinuation lead to higher resale values?

The company announced the halting of Model S and X vehicle productions at their Bay Area factory, opening up new manufacturing space for their newest version of their humanoid robot, the Optimus Gen 3

Instead, the company focused on its best-selling SUV and sedan, the Model Y, and Model 3, while sales of the Model S and X dwindled. When reporting sales, Tesla lumps all of its premium models together in the "other models" category, and in the last quarter of 2025, it sold only 11,642 of these, a 51 percent year-over-year decrease.

Tesla just debuted a major overhaul for the Model S and Model X interior featuring a Formula 1 inspired "Yoke" steering wheel. The Model S Plaid+ has 520 miles of range and will do 0-60mph in less than 2 seconds.
