Tesla temporarily halts production of its Model S and Model X
CNN
Tesla has not built any of its two most expensive cars -- the Model S and Model X -- so far this year.
Tesla did not respond to any questions for the reason for the production decision. Even so, the automaker still managed to produce a record number of cars in its most recent quarter, as it built 180,338 of the Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV, both of which being less expensive models that made up nearly 90% of the company's overall sales in 2020. The total edged past Tesla's previous record set in the last three months of 2019 by nearly 600 cars.President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.
