Tesla announced a limited 350-unit Signature Series run to mark the end of Model S and Model X production before manufacturing stops for good by Q2 2026.
The company will build 250 Signature Series versions of the Model S and 100 of the Model X. Access to both models is invite-only for select Tesla customers, according to company sources.
Pricing and Premium
The Model X Signature Series carries a price tag of $159,420 – nearly $119,000 at current exchange rates.
That’s a $30,000 premium over the standard Model X Plaid.
The Model S Signature Series matches its sibling’s pricing. This represents a significant jump from the standard Model S Plaid, which starts at $124,900.
Both vehicles feature Garnet Red Paint – a color that’s not available on any current Tesla production model. A gold Tesla ‘T’ logo sits in the center of the front grille, while gold Plaid and Signature badging appear at the rear.
Interior Treatment
Inside, both Signature models get white interiors with Alcantara upholstery. Gold piping and black inserts provide contrast throughout the cabin.
Signature badging appears on the dashboard with each car’s production number.
Tesla’s yoke steering wheel comes standard, along with gold Plaid design puddle lights and a custom interior lighting sequence when you enter the vehicle.
What’s Included
Tesla bundles its $10,000 ‘Luxe’ package into the Signature pricing. The package includes:
- Supervised full self-driving capability
- Four-year premium service
- Lifetime supercharging for the original owner
- Premium Connectivity pack
A numbered Signature Edition key fob comes with each vehicle.
The Model S Signature gets color-coded door handles, carbon-ceramic brakes to handle the car’s 1,034 horsepower, gold brake calipers, and 21-inch ‘Velarium’ wheels. The Model X keeps the standard Plaid’s red brake calipers.
Historical Significance
The Signature nameplate carries weight in Tesla’s history. When the Model S launched in 2012, the first 1,000 cars were ‘Signature’ editions priced at $100,000.
Those early buyers had to put down a $40,000 deposit.
By bringing back the Signature name for this final run, Tesla’s essentially bookending the story of two vehicles that changed how people think about electric cars. The Model S and Model X pushed EVs from niche products into mainstream consideration – and now they’re getting a proper send-off before Tesla focuses on newer platforms.
