Tesla Closes off New Orders for the Model S and Model X in Europe

No new Tesla Model S and Model X cars can be ordered in Europe as the company makes changes to its catalogue.

It looks like Tesla has shut down production on some of its older cars.

Quick overview

  • Tesla has ceased taking new orders for the Model X and Model S in Europe, marking the end of sales for these older models in the region.
  • The decision comes amid declining sales and stock value, currently at $319 per share, which has been impacted by various market challenges.
  • Despite minor upgrades in 2025, the older models have not seen a significant boost in sales, leading to their discontinuation in Europe.
  • Tesla is also facing hurdles in expanding its robotaxi service to California due to a lack of necessary permits.

Tesla (TSLA) will not be taking new orders for either the Model X or the Model S in Europe any longer, ending its sales for two of its oldest models in the international market.

Attempting to move forward, Tesla is closing the door on its older Model S and Model X vehicles for the European market. The company has seen declining sales of its vehicles in much of Europe, directly impacting its stock value, which is at $319 per share at the moment.

These two older models are among the oldest that Tesla still offers. Over the past few years, these early models have seen declining sales everywhere, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company really only offers them due to the sentimental attachment they have for them.

Both of these models received minor upgrades in 2025,which did not substantially change the cars. There was speculation that the updates would extend the lifespan of these older models, but that does not seem to be the case.

Tesla’s Latest Stock Movement

Tesla’s stock value saw a bump earlier this month once the company announced that they were signing a deal with Samsung for new AI chips. The move has helped the company’s stock rise above its early July values and regain some of its recently lost ground.

The company has struggled through much for the year, facing criticism of its CEO as well as multiple reports of low sales of its vehicles. The low point for the year was in April when the stock hit a price of $221 per share. This occurred at a time when global markets were suffering from severe fear over President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. Now that the pressure has eased off of the market and tariffs are not as much of a concern, Tesla has been able to regain its footing.

Tesla is planning to expand its robotaxi service to California after a soft launch in Texas. They have run into a hurdle there as the company lacks permits to bring this service to that state. Until they can get approval for their automated taxi service, they cannot expand to California.
