Tesla has ended production of the Model S and Model X. The Model S was produced for 14 years, and the Model X for 11 years. The company formalized its decision to end production.

Tesla named Full Self-Driving (FSD), Cybercab robotaxis, energy storage, and the Optimus humanoid robot as its next growth pillars. The company said it would reallocate resources to these areas. The announcement made clear its intention to shift its product lineup.

The company said there was tangible progress in its new businesses. Public materials said that the number of subscribers was growing and related revenue was being generated. It said early revenue streams were evident in some businesses.

Market analysts are divided over valuation and risk. Some analysts point out that Tesla’s price-to-earnings ratio is approximately 370times. Other analysts emphasize the execution risks of its new businesses.
