The end of two Tesla models
Berman introduces Musk’s plan to end Model S and Model X production. He recalls their performance and engineering significance.
Elon Musk spent years naming Tesla cars so their model names spelled out a hidden message. In January 2026, he announced plans to end production of the Model S and Model X. That decision concerns two flagship models; it does not mean Tesla is stopping production of all cars.
The Model S helped make Tesla what it is, and its high-performance Plaid version can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in under two seconds. Musk has described the Model X as one of the most difficult technical challenges he has faced—a striking assessment from someone who also makes rockets.
The Optimus bet
Berman connects the change with Tesla’s humanoid robot program. An investor predicts robots will eventually eclipse the company’s cars.
Why end the flagship luxury line? Berman connects the decision with Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot. Musk said Tesla would convert the Model S and X production space at its Fremont factory for Optimus. Some observers have very high expectations for the robot; investor Jason Calacanis predicts that people will eventually remember Tesla for something other than cars. That is a prediction, not an established result.
