Tesla is building a final limited-edition Signature Series run of the Plaid Model S and Model X, turning a closing chapter into a collector’s pitch. The company is making 250 Signature Model S vehicles and 100 Signature Model X vehicles, all offered by invite-only email to select Tesla owners.
The Model X Signature starts at $159,420, while the Model S Signature carries a $15,000 price hike over the standard Plaid version’s $129,900 starting point. The run also brings exclusive Garnet Red paint, gold exterior accents, a white interior with alcantara and badging, gold Plaid seat badges with gold piping, Signature-marked door sills and a numbered dash plate. On the Model S, Tesla adds matching Garnet Red door handles, carbon ceramic brakes with gold calipers, 21-inch wheels and a gold Tesla badge up front, a gold Plaid badge on the rear and a Signature badge on the back. The Model X Signature keeps standard red Plaid calipers and rides on 22-inch wheels. Both versions include a yoke steering wheel, the Luxe Package and a Signature Edition key fob.
The timing matters because Tesla confirmed Model S and Model X production is over and said only about 600 units remain in global inventory, roughly 295 Model S vehicles and 301 Model X vehicles, almost all in the United States. Elon Musk said in January during Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings call that the programs were ending and described it as an “honorable discharge.” A celebration event is planned for May at sunset. The Fremont factory line that built the cars is being converted to make Optimus humanoid robots.

The final Signature run also nods to Tesla’s own history. When the Model S launched in 2012, the first 1,000 units were Signature editions that required a $40,000 deposit and cost nearly $100,000 each. This time, the name is not introducing a new model so much as marking the end of one, as Tesla uses the last batch of its flagship sedans and SUVs to clear out a program it has already shut down.
