Tesla To Eliminate Model S & Model X To Make Robots - CleanTechnica
Tesla announced it will discontinue production of the Model S and Model X next quarter, shifting focus away from its traditional luxury vehicles to concentrate on the Model 3, Model Y, and the upcoming Cybertruck and Cybercab. The production lines for the Model S and X will be repurposed to manufacture Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots, which Elon Musk claims will be the company’s “biggest product of all time” and could help eliminate poverty. Tesla plans to start producing these robots by the end of 2024 and begin public sales in 2027. Despite Musk’s optimism, experts caution that humanoid robots remain highly experimental, with significant technical and commercialization challenges ahead. This strategic pivot coincides with the end of federal exhaust emissions credits in the U.S., which had previously subsidized Tesla’s vehicle development, especially for the Model S and X. Tesla appears to have no plans to introduce new electric vehicle models beyond incremental updates to existing ones, foregoing development of lower-cost or new vehicle

Milan Kovac, the vice president leading Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot program, is reportedly leaving the company, according to Bloomberg News. Kovac, who has been with Tesla for nearly a decade and previously worked as a top engineer on the Autopilot team, was appointed to lead the Optimus development in 2022 and became VP of the program in late 2024. He was responsible for driving the engineering teams behind both Optimus and the shared software infrastructure with Autopilot. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has ambitious plans for the Optimus robot, projecting that “thousands” of units will be operating in Tesla factories by the end of 2025, with a rapid scale-up to millions of units per year as soon as possible. Following Kovac’s departure, Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s vice president of AI software, will take over leadership of the Optimus project. This leadership change comes amid Tesla’s aggressive push to advance its humanoid robot technology and integrate it into its manufacturing operations.
