Tesla’s Model S and X to Retire: A Last Ride Before Cybercabs Take Over

As Tesla shifts focus, will AI-driven vehicles lead us into a safer or scarier future?

The era of the Tesla Model S and X is drawing to an end, as CEO Elon Musk confirms that custom orders for these iconic electric vehicles are no longer available. With only a few hundred left in inventory, it's time for Tesla to look towards its ambitious projects like the Optimus robot and Cybercab.


The decline of the Model S and X is largely due to competition from more affordable models like the Model 3 and Y, with combined sales peaking in 2017 before a sharp drop. However, what Musk envisions for Tesla's future may unsettle some — the Optimus robot will soon be manufactured at its California plant, while the Cybercab is set for production in Texas.


The Model X once faced delays and criticism but opened doors to new markets, particularly women. Its success helped establish Tesla as a leader in electric vehicles, though the company's recent sales figures show a slight dip. With this transition comes uncertainty: will humanity embrace these AI-driven marvels or fear them?


Musk's vision of Tesla as an AI company is clear, but the Cybercab faces significant regulatory hurdles. Without traditional controls like steering wheels and pedals, it could present a safety risk if deployed on public roads without human oversight. Tesla must navigate this complex landscape to ensure its vehicles are not only cutting-edge but also safe for all.
