Tesla Just Killed S and X for FSD and Our Robot Overlords! - Here's Why!

About this episode

The episode discusses Tesla's decision to cancel Model S and X production in favor of manufacturing Optimus robots and its implications for the company's future.

Tesla Cancels Model S & X. During yesterday’s Tesla earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla will end new Model S and Model X sales in Q2, shutting down those production lines to convert them for manufacturing up to 1 million Optimus robots. This marks one of the most dramatic pivots in Tesla’s history as the company shifts its focus from flagship vehicles to AI, robotics, and Full Self-Driving (FSD).In this episode, we’re joined by special guests @BeardedTeslaGuy and @JoshWest247 two longtime Tesla YouTubers with unmatched perspective. Josh famously completed a cross-Canada road trip in a Model S years ago before moving to the U.S., while Bearded Tesla Guy drove a Cybertruck from Florida to the Arctic Circle. Together, they recently completed an FSD road trip across the United States, giving them a front-row seat to Tesla’s autonomous future.We break down what this decision really means, why Tesla is prioritizing Optimus, how FSD fits into Elon Musk’s long-term vision, and whether this move signals a fundamental shift away from cars—or the next phase of Tesla’s dominance.🔑 KeywordsTesla earnings call, Tesla cancels Model S and Model X, Model S canceled, Model X…
