Tesla is planning to end production of its Model S luxury electric sedan and Model X luxury electric SUV in the spring,

Basically, driving a car like the Model S isn’t the future, but a car driving you is. In a first for the company, Tesla revealed it has 1.1 million paying subscribers for its full self-driving (FSD) business.

Hiking subscriptions, making robots, and selling fewer cars? Tesla is acting like a tech company in more ways than one.

Tesla sends the Model S and Model X to live on a farm upstate, canceling its two longest-running EVs to make way for an autonomous, robotic future.

Tesla will discontinue the Model S and X this spring, converting Fremont production to its Optimus robot program.

Tesla will end Model S and Model X production, converting its Fremont factory to build Optimus humanoid robots and expand robotaxi ambitions.

The Model S was “demoed” at the CES Nvidia booth (Tesla did not have a booth) in January of 2012 – about five months before production of the Model S started. I remember that the Model S was mobbed, overshadowing whatever separate PC graphics chip technology Nvidia was demoing.

The Model S deserved better than this.

The company announced it was ending production of its higher-end Model S and Model Y, and turning that production space over to making humanoid robots.

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.
