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.

Highlighting the change, CEO Elon Musk said Tesla would end production of its Model X SUV and Model S sedans and instead use the space in its California factory to make humanoid robots.

Once they’re gone, though, they’re gone for good, because Tesla is converting their production space in the company’s Fremont factory into a space for the manufacturing of Optimus humanoid robots.
