On the podcast, Moravy said Tesla sold about 750,000 Model S and Model X cars during their lifetime. When asked directly if the Model S and Model X could make a comeback, he said the vehicles “have done a great job for us in what they needed to do.”

The podcast also included an update on Tesla’s long-awaited second-generation Roadster. Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s chief designer, said the company plans to build the two-door sports car in Texas.

“We’ve made, you know, first plans on that, and I think you’ll see a lot of things start to unfold in the next months,” von Holzhausen said.

Tesla didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
