Europeans can now buy only in-stock or certified pre-owned Model S or Model X under Tesla’s new strategy to prioritize its best-selling mass-market vehicles.

Overview

  • Tesla has removed the Model S and Model X from its online configurator across major European markets, leaving only in-stock and certified pre-owned vehicles for sale.
  • The automaker has not officially confirmed permanent discontinuation of the premium models, but the removal signals an ongoing phase-out in Europe.
  • Tesla grouped the Model S and X deliveries under its “Other models” category, which recorded only 23,275 units in the first half of 2025 compared with nearly 700,000 for the Model 3 and Model Y.
  • Production of right-hand-drive versions ended in mid-2023 and U.S. customers can still configure new Model S and X, while China halted U.S.-built imports earlier this year.
  • A minor facelift unveiled in June 2025 updated exterior styling and interior comforts, but Tesla will not offer the refreshed versions in Germany, the U.K. or Norway.
