In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the EV community, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that production of the iconic Model S and Model X has officially ceased. Custom orders were halted in early April 2026, leaving only a few hundred units – roughly 600 globally – in inventory. Musk himself tweeted: “Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory.” If you’ve been eyeing these flagship halo cars, this is your final call – order now before they’re snapped up as instant collector’s items.

In a sight that’s sending shockwaves through the EV and autonomous vehicle communities, drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer has captured what could be the largest gathering of Tesla Cybercabs yet – approximately 60 units neatly parked in two organized groups at Giga Texas’s outbound lot. This isn’t just hype; it’s tangible proof that Tesla is shifting gears into volume production ahead of Elon Musk’s long-promised April 2026 mass production ramp. As a blogger who’s tracked Tesla’s factories for years, I’ve seen plenty of drone footage, but this? This is the moment the robotaxi future starts feeling inevitable.

In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the EV community, Tesla has officially pulled the plug on its iconic Model S sedan and Model X SUV. Production has ceased, custom orders are closed, and only a dwindling inventory of around 600 units remains worldwide. CEO Elon Musk, who once kept these flagships alive for “sentimental reasons,” is now giving them an “honorable discharge.” But here’s the twist: Tesla isn’t slashing prices to clear stock. Instead, they’ve jacked them up by about $15,000 on remaining new and demo units, bundling in premium perks to capitalize on nostalgia and scarcity. Is this genius branding or opportunistic pricing? Let’s dive deep into what this means for buyers, owners, collectors, and Tesla’s future.

Tesla has always been at the forefront of electric vehicle innovation, but the launch of the Model Y L in eight key Asian markets marks a pivotal moment for family-oriented EVs. Announced recently, ordering is now open in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This stretched variant of the wildly popular Model Y isn’t just a minor refresh—it’s a purpose-built machine for the region’s booming urban families craving space, efficiency, and tech without compromise.

In a world where geopolitical tensions can turn everyday life into a battlefield, one vehicle’s engineering feat has captured global attention. On March 30, 2026, amid Iranian missile barrages on Israel, a Tesla Model Y in Netanya stood unyielding against a direct hit from explosive debris. The panoramic glass roof, far from shattering into deadly shards, absorbed the impact, formed a deep crater, and deflected the fragment harmlessly to the ground. This isn’t just a lucky escape—it’s a testament to Tesla’s relentless pursuit of safety through innovation.

In the high-stakes arena of national security space launches, SpaceX continues to solidify its position as the undisputed leader. On April 1, 2026, the U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) awarded SpaceX a $178.5 million task order under the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 Lane 1 program. This contract, dubbed SDA-4, will see two Falcon 9 rockets loft dozens of Sierra Space-built missile-tracking satellites into orbit starting in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027—one from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and another from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Tesla’s latest quarterly update has Wall Street scratching its heads, but for those paying close attention, it’s a clear signal of the company’s audacious transformation. On April 2, 2026, Tesla reported Q1 deliveries of 358,023 vehicles—a 6% year-over-year increase from 336,681 in Q1 2025, yet a sharp sequential drop from 418,227 in Q4 2025. Production clocked in at a robust 408,386 vehicles, outpacing deliveries and swelling inventory, while energy storage deployments hit 8.8 GWh—down 38% from Q4 2025’s record 14.2 GWh but still a testament to growing demand in that segment. These numbers missed analyst consensus of around 365,000 deliveries, triggering a stock dip of over 4%.
