Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots

So long!

www.theverge.com

Say goodbye to Model S and Model X. What an ignominious end.

Wow!

 

[Cmaier]

Wow!

Can you imagine if you put a deposit in on the roadster 5 years ago and are still waiting?

 

[Cmaier]

Also, good luck getting your model S/X repaired in a few years. I doubt Elon is going to warehouse 10 years of spare parts.

Allegedly the roadster is still coming out.

I feel like this could be said of any vehicle that gets discontinued (and doesn’t share parts with another model). Getting a Chevy Volt replacement battery pack from GM is pretty hard I hear.

yeah, sure it is.

 

[Eric]

yeah, sure it is.

Also, FSD will be fully available to all by 2016, I guarantee it.

and we’re already on Mars, right?

I wonder how long till Franz leaves. If Tesla is going to wind down car sales in favor of autonomy why would he stick around.

Tesla is committing automotive suicide

Tesla's Q4 2025 earnings call made one thing painfully clear: the company is no longer interested in being an automaker.

We got out just in time.

He clearly wants all of his companies under the X umbrella. I think if Tesla were private he would try merging that as well. Sometimes this timeline really stinks.

Ha hah hah

Didn't the Tesla board give him that astronomical salary to get him to refocus on Tesla?

there are a bunch of milestones in it that mostly related to robots and crap. He should have no problem meeting the car sales milestone, even if they drop down to just model 3 and y. (Cybertruck is de minimis sales)

This smacks to me of more political games. "You were critical of me, so whatever, no redaction for you!"
