Tesla has confirmed that it will end production of two of its most popular vehicles as the Elon Musk-led brand moves towards an autonomous future.
Tesla will wind down production of the Model S and Model X in the coming months, despite the popularity of the two electric vehicles.
Citing a "shift to an autonomous future", Tesla encouraged drivers to place an order for the S and X if they would like to get their hands on one.
Posting on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, the brand said: "Tesla wouldn't be what it is today without Model S & X and their (early) owners - thank you for your support over the last decade."

Once production of the S and X is wound down, Tesla will only have the Model 3, Model Y and the Cybertruck on the market.
It has long promised the impressive Roadster, although the brand has released few details about the electric sports car in recent months.
Responding to the announcement on X, Elon Musk said: "The Tesla Model S and Model X are amazing vehicles. Get them while still available!"
CEO Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla would be investing $2billion (£1.45billion) into the billionaire's artificial intelligence company, xAI.

The South African-born billionaire has spoken of his desire to turn Tesla into an AI company, with lofty goals to increase the brand's valuation.
Tesla will also continue with the development of the Cybercab robotaxi, which is already being tested on roads across the United States.
Vaibhav Taneja, chief financial officer at Tesla, said Musk's plan to build Cybercabs, Optimus humanoid robots, Semi trucks and Roadsters, will take capital expenditure above $20billion (£14.5billion) this year.
This is more than double the $8.5billion (£6.1billion) that the brand spent in 2025 on its operations.
