comments Tesla is most famous for being an electric car maker. But that might all change soon after CEO Elon Musk revealed that the company is looking to move away from building EVs. On Wednesday, Musk announced an end to Tesla's Model S and Model X EVs with production 'winding down next quarter' despite having sold almost 420,000 examples of the two vehicles in 2025. The Fremont factory in California where the electric executive saloons and SUVs have been manufactured will shortly be converted and turned into a facility that instead assembles Tesla's upcoming Optimus robot. Tesla will also redirect its focus to self-driving vehicles as 'a lot of our investors asked us to do this', Musk said. The divisive Tesla boss added: 'It’s time to bring the Model S and X program to an end with an honorable discharge, because we’re really moving into a future that’s based on autonomy.' The decision to kill off some of the brand's pioneering EVs and shift to making robots and developing AI comes after Tesla saw its total revenue fall by three per cent in 2025 while profits tumbled by a 61 per cent. Elon Musk has announced an end to Tesla's Model S and Model X EVs with production 'winding down next quarter'. They were two of the first Tesla models to take to the roads The two soon-to-be-discontinued EVs will remain available to buy across markets as long as there are units available, with Tesla promising to support them for as long as people have them. It might sound drastic to stop making the two cars, but taking a step back isn't that different to when other legacy automotive manufacturers discontinue outdated models. The Model S is Tesla’s second ever vehicle and has been in production since 2012. It arrived in the UK in early summer 2014. The Model X SUV has been in production since 2015, arriving in Britain in 2016. Both cars have not been sold in the UK for almost three years.
