The S and X haven’t really sold well since the model 3/y were ramped up. Those ate most of their sales. Even before the nazi shit they were low, and he’s hinted a couple times before that as well that their days were numbered.
They did want a car to put fancy tech in like the plaid version, but that’ll just be the roadster now instead.
They are leaving a big gap in the lineup though without a bigger SUV, so it’ll be interesting to see if they bring the extended Y from China to other markets now.
Edit: actually it was just after the salute before it’s impact would have been apparent in Feb. They mentioned there was some nostalgia around them even though they weren’t selling a lot, but at the same time said they weren’t going to cancel them… so that didn’t age well.
S and X are luxury bespoke high performance models not intended to sell in large numbers.
In fact, Tesla doesn’t have the capacity to make them in large numbers.

One of the bigger reasons I’ve been looking at an R1S from Rivian.
That’s the better choice over the X even when they still have it as well.
