Tesla has introduced a final, limited Signature Edition for the Model S (and similarly for the Model X) as part of a farewell run ahead of discontinuing the current S/X lineup. Reports describe a Garnet Red paint a gold accent package, exclusive badges, and a price around $159,000–$160,000, with a limited production run (roughly a few hundred to 350 units depending on the source) and invite-only purchase paths. These editions are framed as commemorative, signaling Tesla’s shift toward new priorities like robotics and autonomy.[1][2][3][4][9]
