Elon Musk Says Tesla's Model S and X Are Nearly Sold Out - Business Insider
Elon Musk said Tesla is running low on its stock of the Model S and Model X. Bloomberg/Getty Images 2026-04-09T16:36:01.811Z Tesla has "a few hundred" units left of its highest-priced Model S and Model X vehicles, Musk said. It comes as the company shifts its focus from traditional vehicle sales to autonomy and robotics. Tesla's car sales rose by 6% in the past quarter — but it might still have an inventory glut. Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the company has nearly cleared out the last of its flagship cars. Only "a few hundred" Model S sedans and Model X SUVs remain in inventory, Musk said in a Wednesday post on X.The low inventory hasn't been independently confirmed, but the news isn't a surprise. Musk said during Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings call in January that the company was giving the then-$94,990 sedan and then-$99,990 SUV an "honorable discharge." He said last week that production had stopped.Only a few hundred Tesla Model S & X cars left in inventory. Order now if you want one.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 8, 2026 It signals the next phase in a major shift at Tesla. This year, the electric automaker is expanding its efforts beyond consumer vehicles and into autonomous cars and humanoid robots.During the January discontinuation announcement, Musk said that Tesla's Fremont factory — long home to Model S and Model X production — would be repurposed to build its Optimus robots. The company also said it started producing its self-driving Cybercabs from its Austin Gigafactory in February.That left the Model S and Model X as relics of an earlier Tesla era — albeit important ones. The Model S, launched in 2012, was Tesla's first clean-sheet vehicle and helped turn the company into a legitimate luxury and sports brand. The Model X followed in 2015, marking Tesla's entry into the booming SUV market.Both were eventually eclipsed by the cheaper, higher-volume Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV — vehicles that pushed Tesla into sustained profitability.Musk has acknowledged the emotional tradeoff of killing the Model S and Model X. During the January call, the CEO said discontinuing both cars was "slightly sad" but important for the company's "overall shift to an autonomous future."The discontinuation of the Model X and Model S may have prompted more shoppers to hit the " Buy "button on Tesla's website. The automaker doesn't break out sales for individual models, bundling the Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck together in its reports — but that category saw a bump...

In fact, Tesla as a company has overcome quite a few obstacles to get where it stands today as the most valuable automaker by market cap. Tesla Inc. was founded in 2003 as Tesla Motors by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. If you’ve been living on a deserted island or under a large rock the past 18 years, you may be surprised to hear that the company’s name is a tribute to inventor Nikola Tesla. Regardless, Ian Wright joined Tesla shortly thereafter, and the three original employees were off to the races in search of funding. That’s where Elon Musk comes in. In early 2004, Tesla Motors managed to raise $7.5 million in series A funding, including investor Musk, who contributed all but $1 million of that total. As a result, Musk joined the company as chairman of the board. J. B. Straubel, now of QuantumScape fame, joined Tesla in May 2004 as employee #5. As a result of the first of many controversies surrounding the company, a 2009 lawsuit settlement allows all five of the original employees to call themselves co-founders. Elon Musk After an early investment and a role at the company, Musk began spearheading public statements for Tesla while helping facilitate more funding. This included several additional rounds, each garnering tens of millions of dollars. Musk openly discussed the company strategy of creating a sleek and stylish sports car to attract early adopters (and their wallets) before expanding production to more practical and affordable EVs with the cash flow to scale. This led to the introduction of Tesla’s flagship EV, the Roadster, which debuted as a prototype in the summer of 2006. In 2007, cofounder M...
