The Tesla Model S — the sedan that first put the electric automaker on the map — is being retired with a bang. The automaker has announced a final, ultra-exclusive Signature Series for the Model S and Model X. The farewell run consists of 350 units — 250 Model S and 100 Model X Plaid vehicles.
Exclusive Features of the Signature Series
The Signature Series models boast exclusive aesthetic features, such as Garnet Red paint and gold accents, setting them apart from their predecessors. The Model X in this series will be available only in a six-seat configuration and will start at a price tag of $159,420
The End of an Era
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that the automaker has officially ended production of the premium Model S and X lines. The Signature Series is a testament to the impact these models have had on the electric vehicle market and on Tesla's rise as a luxury automaker. The transition from Model S and Model X marks the end of an era for the company. Musk tweeted in the early hours of Wednesday, "The Ending Of An Era".
A Final Chapter
"The Ending Of An Era" signifies Tesla's transition to the next generation of vehicles. The final production run was marked by an exclusive invite-only sale, with only select customers having the opportunity to purchase these limited-edition models.
The Signature Series Model S and Model X Plaid vehicles will be the last of their kind, featuring unique design elements and performance enhancements that make them a collector's item. This move by Tesla signifies a shift towards new models and technologies, leaving behind a legacy that has shaped the electric vehicle industry.
The Model S Signature Series is Tesla's final salute to a vehicle that redefined luxury and performance in the electric car segment. The Model X Signature Series, priced at $159,420, is a fitting tribute to a vehicle that pushed the boundaries of SUV design with its unique falcon-wing doors and unparalleled performance.
