Old Models Out, Q1 Deliveries

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company would be discontinuing its premium Model S and Model X vehicles, shifting focus towards autonomous driving and robotics. The company’s Fremont, California facility will now focus on producing the Optimus Robots, with a target of one million units annually.

The company recently released its Q1 2026 delivery figures, which missed market expectations. Tesla delivered over 358,000 vehicles worldwide, producing 408,000 vehicles. This resulted in 50,000 unsold vehicles in the company’s inventory.

New Model Buzz

Social media posts from Musk suggest that Tesla may be developing new models, including a 7-seater model. The company is also reportedly working on a new, affordable model for its lineup. These new models could mark a shift in focus back to Tesla’s core auto business.
