The window to own a piece of Tesla’s founding history is slamming shut faster than expected. Just days after Elon Musk announced that Tesla was officially closing the order books for its flagship vehicles, the Model X appears to have sold out across the United States.
Earlier this week, Musk shared on X that "custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory". While there were roughly 600 units available worldwide at the time of that announcement, a surge in demand has effectively cleared the digital shelves. If you were hoping to snag a brand-new Model X from the factory, you might be out of luck.
The Model X is Effectively Gone
According to Tesla’s inventory page, there are virtually no "new" Model X units remaining in the U.S. market. While availability can vary slightly depending on your specific zip code, most shoppers are finding that the only vehicles left are demo units previously used for test drives.
The Model S is following a similar trajectory. The ultra-high-performance Plaid variant appears to be sold out in most regions, and the remaining standard inventory is dwindling by the hour. This is truly the "last call" for the cars that defined Tesla’s luxury era before the company pivots entirely toward mass-market EVs and robotics.
A Legacy of Consistency
It is rare in the car world to see a vehicle maintain the same basic look for nearly two decades, but that was the strength of the Model S and Model X. Tesla focused on iterating under the hood, constantly improving the motors and self-driving hardware while keeping the exterior silhouette timeless.
By discontinuing these models in the second quarter of 2026, Tesla is making a symbolic move. The production lines at the Fremont factory are already being prepared for a massive retooling. This summer, the space once used to hand-assemble falcon-wing doors and luxury sedans will be converted to produce the Optimus humanoid robot.
What Comes Next?
Tesla is clearly saying goodbye to its automotive past to make room for a future defined by AI. While the loss of the Model S and X leaves a hole in the high-end luxury market, Musk has already teased a "way cooler" larger SUV, while the upcoming next-gen Roadster will eventually take over the performance throne.
For those who managed to grab one of these final inventory units, you now own a certified legend. For everyone else, the only way to experience these pioneers will soon be on the used market. Tesla is expected to hold an official ceremony soon to mark the end of this 14-year manufacturing journey, putting a final exclamation point on the era that started it all.
