The ‘S3XY’ era is officially over, as Tesla has announced that production of the Model S and X has ended at the company’s Fremont Factory in California. Both electric vehicles (EVs) were instrumental to the company’s success and paved the way for the Model 3 and Y. The Model S launched back in 2012 and was progressively updated over the 14 years it was on sale, with significant improvements made to the car’s design, powertrain and technology package. It was the first model to debut the brand’s Autopilot as well as being the first EV in the United States to crack the 300-mile (482-km) range barrier and hold a lap record at the famed Nürburgring. As the company’s poster child, the Model S changed the way EVs were perceived and was followed by the Model X, its first SUV, in 2015. With its distinctive falcon wing doors for rear passenger access, the Model X was derived from the same platform as the Model S and it too got consistent updates to increase its capabilities over 11 years. In May 2018, a Model X towed a Qantas Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 weighing 130 tonnes to set a Guinness World Record for the heaviest weight towed by an electric car. In Plaid guise, the SUV outperformed sports cars with a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 2.5 seconds. In recent years, sales of the Model S and X have declined and is likely the reason, along with the increasing popularity of the Model 3 and Y, behind the decision to pull the plug. Before both are sent to the history books, the company revealed Signature Edition variants that were limited to 250 units for the Model S and 100 units for the Model X.
