Fremont production will pivot from cars to Optimus humanoid robots, while Musk says he’s “hoping to debut” the Roadster in April.

The company’s chief executive, Elon Musk, said this week that it would stop making the car, an electric pioneer in 2012, as well as the Model X.

Car models get canceled all of the time, even the iconic and successful ones. But for electric-vehicle fans, it's not hard to have mixed feelings about the demise of the Tesla Model S. (And, to a lesser extent, the Model X.)

General Motors (GM) released its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings on Jan. 27. Barring the slight revenue miss, it was otherwise a strong earnings report from the Detroit auto giant whose 2025 U.S. market share rose to a decade high after four years of incremental gains.

Tesla dominated the electric vehicle industry by the mid-2010s with sleek, fast cars that helped combat the public perception that EVs were severely limited by short ranges.
