Tesla Bids Farewell to Model S and X with Invite-Only Signature Series

Tesla Draws the Curtain on Model S and Model X

Tesla is marking the end of a fourteen-year chapter with an invite-only Signature Series, a limited farewell production run of its iconic Model S and Model X vehicles. The exclusive batch comprises just 350 Plaid models, split between 250 Model S saloons and 100 Model X SUVs, each finished in a bespoke Garnet Red paint with gold accents found nowhere else in the Tesla range.

A Collector's Dream

Only owners who received a direct email invitation from Tesla can purchase a Signature Series vehicle, with no public order page available. Each car features a unique numbered interior badge, gold Tesla front and rear badges, a white interior with Alcantara accents and gold piping, and what Tesla calls the Luxe Package. This bundles Full Self-Driving Supervised, lifetime Supercharging access, four years of premium service, and free Premium Connectivity for the life of the vehicle. The Model S also receives carbon ceramic brakes with gold calipers, whilst the Model X rides on exclusive 22-inch wheels.

Pricing and Availability

The Model X Signature is priced at 159,420 dollars before destination fees, representing roughly a 30,000 dollar premium over the standard Model X Plaid. Model S Signature pricing has not been officially confirmed but is expected to land at approximately 155,000 dollars based on a similar premium structure.

End of an Era, Start of Something New

Tesla ceased accepting custom orders for both models at the end of March, with only around 600 inventory units remaining globally at that time. CEO Elon Musk first announced the end of both programmes during the Q4 2025 earnings call, calling it an honourable discharge and confirming the Fremont assembly lines would be repurposed to eventually produce up to one million Optimus humanoid robots per year. A celebratory farewell event is planned for May, described as taking place at sunset, a symbolic send-off for vehicles whose lineage stretches back to the first Model S deliveries in June 2012.
