Since July 2025, it is no longer possible to configure a Tesla Model X or Model S to order. Only the stock is available.
How should we interpret this information? By removing its aging Model S and Model X from sale, without communication, Tesla surprises. Should we view this as a sign of the upcoming renewal of these two versions, which, although regularly updated, date back to 2012 for the sedan and 2015 for the large SUV?
In the United States, a styling refresh occurred a few months ago, but it did not significantly boost sales, which have plummeted (similar to the rest of the catalog). New colors, new wheels, new front bumpers to distinguish the Plaid version (finally), new electronic updates, but nothing fundamental.

Model S and Model X too expensive for Europe?
As a reminder, these Tesla Model S and Model X were also removed from sale in China in the spring due to skyrocketing customs costs with the United States. At that time, a 150% surcharge was applied to all cars from the United States, which dramatically increased the final sale price.
None of this is happening in Europe, but now only the models – new or used – available in Tesla’s inventory are available for purchase.
It is hard to imagine Tesla abandoning this very high-end segment, despite falling sales. We therefore lean toward a temporary withdrawal to clear out stock, which represents a significant amount of tied-up capital.
Moreover, Tesla is offering significant discounts on some very low-mileage demonstration models (less than 100 km). But even with discounts of sometimes €13,000, the sale price of a Model X remains above €100,000. At these price levels, customers are very demanding and attentive to build quality. Follow our gaze…
The Model S might return well before the Model X since inventories are very limited. In contrast, it may take time for the SUV.
Toward a new generation?
Tesla is slow to renew its Model X and Model S, raising questions once again. The development cost of a new generation is very high, and the return on investment is very low. The example of the Tesla Roadster speaks for itself: the American manufacturer has not been rushed to spend its money, especially after the monumental failure of the Cybertruck.
Ultimately, Tesla is offering you the chance to buy an old Model S or Model X… in order to launch the new refreshed versions. Nice?
