Tesla ends Model S and X run with Signature Edition farewell specials. Limited versions go to invited buyers only, each priced at $159,420. They stand out with Garnet Red paint paired with gold accents. Tesla is preparing to phase out the two EVs that defined its early success, but not without giving them one last push into the spotlight. Just days after reports emerged that remaining Model S and Model X inventory had been hit with $15,000 price hikes, there is a new sting for anyone who paid up. Both models are being sent off with a final, tightly capped Signature Edition, reserved for a small group of buyers who received email invites. The Model S sedan and Model X SUV have been around since 2012 and 2015, respectively. After a final update in mid-2025, Tesla confirmed in January 2026 that both would leave production later this year, clearing space at the Fremont plant in California for humanoid robot assembly. While Tesla has not formally announced the send-off, the news surfaced on X through Ryan McCaffrey, host of the Ride the Lightning podcast. Invitations have already gone out, with a private launch event reportedly set for May. Tesla will build 250 units of the Model S and just 100 units of the Model X Signature Editions. Both are priced at $159,420. Yes, the last three digits are a wink to Musk’s well-known favorite number, a reference rooted in cannabis culture. And yes, it is a ridiculously steep jump, with premiums of $59,430 for the sedan and $54,430 for the SUV over the standard Plaid versions. For what is essentially a farewell package, that is serious money, even by Tesla standards. Signature Edition Visual Identity Both models wear an exclusive Garnet Red finish, inspired by the original Model S launch color. It is paired with gold emblems, giving the cars a celebratory tone. Inside, there is a white Alcantara interior, a yoke steering wheel, and Signature branding throughout. The Model S sits on 21-inch Velarium wheels with gold brake calipers over carbon ceramic brakes. The Model X gets 22-inch Machina wheels. Tesla has also added a numbered plate on the dashboard, special key fobs, and Plaid puddle lights. Finally, the EVs come standard with a Luxe Package including free lifetime access to Tesla Superchargers and the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. Underneath, nothing changes mechanically. Both cars retain the tri-motor Plaid setup, delivering 1,020 hp (760 kW / 1,034 PS) and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque. Still absurdly quick, still more than enough, if you can stomach that $60K pill. Screenshots: Tesla via Teslarati
