Re: Tesla ending Models S and X production
#22Dropping the S and X is going to kill the market for them. Who is going to buy a car that they know is getting discontinued?
Including Cybertruck, it's just 2.75% of sales
Q4 sales: Model 3 & Model Y: 406,585 deliveries All Other Models (S/X/Cybertruck): 11,642 deliveries

#23> converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots I’m very bullish on humanoid robots, but this seems absolutely batshit insane to me. These things are no where near ready for full scale production.
Elon Musk says something absolutely insane on the weekly. Almost none of it actually happens.
That’s just nonsense, of course. Almost everything he says happens. It rarely happens on time.
Re: Tesla ending Models S and X production
#24Why is it seen initially so negatively? There's nothing inherently wrong with a company deciding to stop producing models that are extremely old, have newer comparable models that are more widely available globally and sell multiples more of. So why would you keep those older models? If anything its a good thing. But its Tesla so nothing they do will be spoken positively of.
You are, of course, exactly right but you will nevertheless be downvoted for the same reasons you allude to.
Re: Tesla ending Models S and X production
#25I am confused about what Tesla is doing. They have effectively two automobile products now with one failed product (cybertruck). reading various articles about this doesn't make it more clear. Do they not want to be a car company?
> Tesla's far more popular models are the 3 and Y, which accounted for 97% of the company's 1.59 million deliveries last year. The Model 3 now starts at about $37,000, and the Model Y is around $40,000. Tesla debuted more affordable versions of the vehicles late last year.
I’m confused as to what’s not clear from the article for you?

#26I’m a little sad (nostalgic?) about this decision. Model S is a truly historic vehicle.

It's not like they aren't going to support any new purchases.

If the can walk and randomly fire teargas and bullets into crowds of protesters they could replace half of ICE right now.
Re: Tesla ending Models S and X production
#29The next shoe to drop will be shifting Model Y production from Fremont to Austin. Fremont will make Model 3s. Austin will make Model Ys and Robotaxis/2s. Cybertruck will be canceled. None of the Tesla plants will be making robots at any scale for many years.

Carmakers discontinue models all the time. The support network is still around, and parts will still be produced for a while.
