Tesla has stopped selling its premium Model S and Model X vehicles in Europe. The move, though not formally announced by Tesla, became clear after both
vehicles disappeared from the brand’s European configurator. While remaining inventory will still be sold, fresh orders will no longer be accepted. Going forward, the Model S and Model X will only be available in North America, specifically in the United States and Canada. This decision comes despite recent updates to the two flagship vehicles. For the 2026 model year, Tesla had introduced refreshed front and rear designs for the Plaid variants, along with a new Frost Blue paint option, upgraded suspension bushings, improved Active Noise Cancellation, and configurable ambient lighting. However, even these tweaks were not enough to revive consumer interest in the European market. The Model S and Model X have seen their popularity wane significantly since the arrival of more affordable options like the Model 3 and Model Y. Together, the two larger vehicles now contribute less than 3% of Tesla’s global quarterly sales. The company appears to be concentrating its resources on mass-market models, which have driven much of its recent growth. Speculation is also mounting that Tesla may eventually replace the ageing Model S and Model X lineup with entirely new vehicles, possibly a next-generation luxury sedan and a larger three-row SUV to better compete with offerings from newer electric vehicle rivals.
