On an earnings call January 28, Tesla CEO Elon Musk told investors the automaker will “basically stop production of Model S and X next quarter.”
Instead, the company focused on its best-selling SUV and sedan, the Model Y, and Model 3, while sales of the Model S and X dwindled. When reporting sales, Tesla lumps all of its premium models together in the "other models" category, and in the last quarter of 2025, it sold only 11,642 of these, a 51 percent year-over-year decrease.
