Tesla Marks Final Model S and X Run With $159K Signature Editions
The OGs Get One Last Run
After raising prices on existing Model S and Model X inventory, Tesla is reportedly offering a final Signature Series for the two outgoing EVs through an invite-only program. According to reports shared by Sawyer Merritt on X, the EV maker plans to build 250 Signature Model S units and 100 Signature Model X units, with the latter available only in a six-seat configuration, as a proper send-off before the Fremont line that built the nameplates is converted for Optimus humanoid robot production.
The Signature models won't come cheap. Both the Model S and Model X Signature are reportedly priced from around $159,000 (excluding destination fees), with the delivery expected to begin around May 2026. These final editions do feature a few distinguishing touches over the standard versions, though they do not appear to introduce any major updates beyond exclusive styling.
Hey everyone, was a bit busy today, but I got a chance to speak with a couple customers who were offered a @Tesla Model S and Model X Signature Edition, the final versions of the Model S/X that will ever be produced. Here's all the info:

Dressed for Departure
The exterior is finished in Garnet Red paint, with the Model S Signature also receiving color-matched door handles. Contrasting gold accents appear on the Tesla logo and badging, including the Plaid script, which denotes the performance-focused trim. The carbon-ceramic brakes also feature gold calipers, though the Model X Signature gets red ones instead. Inside, the cabin comes with a white interior, Signature dash badging with a unique numbered plaque, and gold Plaid seat badges.
Given the Plaid badging, both the Model S and Model X Signature editions are expected to feature a tri-motor setup producing 1,020 horsepower and sending power to all four wheels. The Model S Signature rides on 21-inch wheels, while the Model X Signature gets 22-inch wheels.
In addition, these limited-run models come with the Luxe Package, which includes a four-year protection plan, free Supercharging, and Premium Connectivity.
The Future Moves On
Reports also state that Tesla is planning a final send-off event for the Model S and Model X in May, said to take place "at sunset." While the two may not remain in the lineup, they leave behind a significant legacy in the automotive industry as models that helped push the boundaries of what electric vehicles could do, beginning in the 2010s.
More affordable alternatives, the Model 3 and Model Y, will remain on sale, while Tesla also pushes ahead with Optimus and its robotaxi plans centered on the two-seat Cybercab.
