Immediately after updating them Tesla quietly removed Model S and X from Europe

Tesla has dropped the Model S from the Tesla Europe lineup, pulling the plug on its longest-running flagship EV just after a new update was rolled out.

The sedan and the Model X have been removed from the company’s European website without explanation.

Both are now only available in the United States and Canada.

The quiet move hints at changing priorities for Tesla’s premium segment.

Model S vanishes from Europe

Tesla did not issue a statement, but the change is visible.

The Model S and Model X are no longer available to configure or order in any European market.

Customers can still buy remaining stock, but new factory orders are off the table.

Once that inventory runs out, the models will disappear from the region altogether.

This update comes less than two months after Tesla applied minor changes to both vehicles.

The 2026 models received revised bumpers for Plaid trims, an updated suspension setup, improved cabin insulation, ambient lighting, and a new blue exterior paint.

These changes were made available globally, but it’s now clear that the refreshed versions were never intended to last long in Tesla Europe.

The decision appears tied to declining demand.

Tesla’s own figures show that the Model S and Model X combined account for less than 3 percent of deliveries worldwide.

Buyers in Europe are leaning toward more affordable and practical EVs, making it harder to justify local support for Tesla’s larger offerings.

With strong competition from local manufacturers and new models arriving regularly, the space for Tesla’s flagship EV lineup has narrowed.

What fills the gap now?

Although the Model S and Model X continue to be sold in North America, the future of both vehicles remains uncertain.

The Model S platform is over a decade old. Even with software updates and hardware tweaks, it now lags behind newer electric sedans from rivals like BMW and Porsche.

In Europe especially, newer platforms with faster charging, updated interiors, and stronger tech integration have become the benchmark.

There is currently no official plan to replace the outgoing models in Tesla Europe.

The company has turned its attention to scaling production of the Model 3 and Model Y, which are better suited to the region’s pricing and volume expectations.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s premium development focus appears to be on vehicles like the Cybertruck and Roadster, which target different market segments altogether.

For now, the removal of the Model S and Model X marks the end of an early chapter in Tesla’s global expansion.

The quiet phase-out of its two most recognisable flagship EVs reflects a practical shift rather than a sentimental one.

Tesla is choosing to focus where demand is strongest, and in Europe, that no longer includes the Model S.
