"While Tesla doesn't specify how many were sold, earnings show demand has been falling for years. Musk was sentimental when announcing the high-end EVs would get an "honorable discharge." Tesla is taking its Model S and Model X to pasture. The automaker will end production of the $94,990 sedan and $99,990 SUV next quarter, CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday's earnings call. Based on recent delivery numbers, the decision isn't particularly surprising."
"In 2025, Tesla sold 50,850 "other model" units worldwide - accounting for just over 3% of the automaker's 1,636,129 sales. By contrast, its two best-selling options - the Model Y and Model 3 - sold 1,585,279 vehicles. The "other model" figures are also down sharply from prior years. Tesla sold 85,133 vehicles in the category in 2024 - the first full year of Cybertruck deliveries."
Tesla will end production of the Model S sedan and Model X SUV next quarter. The Model S and Model X are the company's highest-priced cars. Demand for the S/X/Cybertruck category has fallen for years. In 2025, Tesla sold 50,850 "other model" units worldwide, about 3% of 1,636,129 total sales. The Model Y and Model 3 together sold 1,585,279 vehicles in 2025. "Other model" sales declined from 85,133 in 2024 to 50,850 in 2025, a roughly 40% drop. The Model S launched in 2012 and the Model X in 2015. The Model X faced early reliability and assembly challenges with its gullwing doors.
