CEO Elon Musk said Tesla will end production of the Model S and Model X to make room for humanoid robot manufacturing at its California plant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">The record spending will fund development of the Cybercab, a fully autonomous vehicle, along with the Tesla semi-truck and new battery and lithium facilities.
