Tesla shows rapid teardown of Model S and X lines, paving the way for Optimus at Fremont
Tesla shared a striking video showcasing the decommissioning of the original Model S and Model X assembly line at its Fremont Factory in Northern California.
Tesla completed the 46-day teardown of its Fremont Factory’s Model S and X assembly lines, ending production of the vehicles in May 2026 to repurpose the space for high-volume Optimus humanoid robot manufacturing. The shift aligns with Tesla’s pivot toward robotics, targeting one million Optimus units annually, with Gen 3 production already underway and full-scale output expected by August. Separately, Elon Musk publicly acknowledged Anthropic’s AI leadership, reversing earlier skepticism amid a compute partnership between SpaceXAI and Anthropic.
