Episode 548: Model S and X Discontinued in Earnings Call Shocker

Tesla's Q4 2025 earnings call opens with news that is somehow both not surprising and shocking all at the same time: the Model S and Model X are being discontinued. It's the end of an era for Tesla as the company looks to redefine itself in the coming decade. I've got so much to say about this, plus more highlights and analysis from the call. Join me!
