Tesla Says Goodbye to Model S and X: Ushering in the Optimus Robot Revolution at Fremont
As a seasoned tech and automotive blogger with over a decade covering electric vehicles and emerging AI technologies, I’ve witnessed Tesla’s meteoric rise from a niche EV maker to a global disruptor. But today’s news hits differently—it’s the end of the line for the Model S and Model X, Tesla’s original flagships that put the company on the map. On the heels of Elon Musk’s Q4 2025 earnings call revelation, custom orders have ceased, farewell emails are landing in U.S. customer inboxes, and whispers of an “official ceremony” are fueling excitement (and nostalgia). This isn’t just a production halt; it’s a seismic pivot to humanoid robotics with Optimus Gen 3 taking over the Fremont factory lines.
