Overview
- Elon Musk said Wednesday that custom orders have ended, and Tesla’s website now directs shoppers to a limited stock of pre-built Model S and Model X vehicles.
- Production has wound down at the Fremont plant as Tesla converts those lines to build its Optimus humanoid robot, which began Gen 3 output in January 2026.
- Remaining cars are inventory units offered with perks like free Supercharger fast charging and lifetime Premium Connectivity, according to current listings.
- Tesla says it will continue service, software updates, and parts support for Model S and Model X owners for as long as people own the vehicles.
- The retirement follows years of shrinking S and X sales as Tesla pivots toward autonomy and robotics, with Musk also promising an official send-off to close the chapter.
