Shapiro announced the birth on X, expressing gratitude and celebrating the newest addition to their family. The Shapiros welcomed their fourth child, a son, in 2023.\nTesla ended production of its Model S and Model X at its Fremont factory in California in May, marking the end of two vehicles that helped bring electric cars into the mainstream after running for 14 years and 11 years, respectively.\nMusk had earlier urged customers to place their orders for these models, citing that there were only a few hundred of these models left in inventory. \nBoth models were discontinued earlier this year as Musk shifted the company’s focus toward AI and robotics, repurposing the Fremont facility that built the vehicles to manufacture the Optimus humanoid robot. Musk wrote an emotional post announcing the end of Model S and Model X, calling it “the ending of an era.”\nTesla’s current vehicle lineup consists of the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Wirestock Creators / Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.45.2","shortVersion":"4.45.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2651113767","isCrawlerRequest":true}
