Really, the raison d'être of the Model S and Model X was twofold. One: to prove that electric cars are not the poor cousin of the combustion car. They can be just as good and in some ways superior. Two: to make enough cash for Tesla to afford the third step in Tesla's Secret Master Plan (which Musk wrote in 2006). Both these reasons are now defunct. The EV no longer has anything to prove, and Tesla now has a much better source of cash in the 3/Y. I suppose the S/X still have residual relevance as a halo product for the Tesla brand, but they don't need them to be in every market to serve that function.
