Tesla will end production of its two flagship models, the Model S and Model X, which have long carried the company's prestige.
According to statements by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the fundamental reason behind this decision is the company's desire to shift its resources and production infrastructure toward autonomous driving and robotics.
Planned to take effect from the next quarter, this production halt has generated significant reverberations throughout the automotive indus…

Tesla Halts Model S and Model X Production, Shifts Focus to Autonomous Future
Tesla has decided to discontinue production of its flagship Model S and Model X vehicles.

We urgently need to overcome the capitalist law of value and democratise our economy, so that we can organise production around urgent social and ecological priorities. After all, we are the producers of the goods, the services, the technologies. It is our labour and our planet’s resources that are at stake. And so we must claim the right to decide what is produced, how, and for what purpose.

The tech giant's internal policy promotes an in-house tool called Kiro over Anthropic's Claude Code. Some Amazon engineers are unhappy about this.

"Another important element of anarcho-syndicalism is that it doesn’t limit itself to workplace activity, seeing tactics such as rent strikes and unemployed organising as means to further working class demands outside the workplace, alongside the more typically syndicalist direct action of strikes, occupations and sabotage by workers at the point of production."
