Limited Model S Plaid Signature

Tesla has begun offering an invite-only Model S Plaid Signature Series, a 250-car run priced at $159,000. (electrek.co) The limited run surfaced on April 11 through Tesla-linked promotional material and reporting that described it as part of a final Signature Series for Tesla’s flagship Model S and Model X. The Model S allocation is 250 cars, while the companion Model X run is 100 vehicles. (electrek.co) The Model S version adds Garnet Red paint, gold Tesla and Plaid badging, a numbered dash plaque, signature-marked door sills and a matching key fob. Reports on the launch materials also say the car gets carbon-ceramic brakes with gold calipers, a white interior with Alcantara trim and 21-inch wheels. (notateslaapp.com) Tesla is selling the package on top of a car that already sits at the top of its sedan lineup. Tesla’s published Model S Plaid specifications list 1,020 horsepower, a 1.99-second 0-to-60 miles per hour time and a 200 mile per hour top speed. (tesla.com) The timing lands as Tesla’s Model S and Model X business has become a much smaller piece of the company’s volume. Tesla said it delivered 16,130 vehicles in the “other models” category in the first quarter of 2026, a bucket that includes Model S, Model X, Cybertruck and Semi. (ir.tesla.com) Tesla’s inventory pages also show the regular Model S selling far below this special-run price. New and demo Model S listings were showing prices around $94,990 to $95,510 in recent U.S. inventory results, underscoring that the Signature Series is being positioned as a collector-grade sendoff rather than a mainstream configuration. (tesla.com) The Signature badge carries history inside Tesla. The company used “Signature Series” branding on early limited runs of the original Model S and Model X more than a decade ago, and this 2026 version revives that label for a much smaller, higher-priced farewell batch. (electrek.co) Reports tied to the launch say deliveries are expected in May 2026. For buyers who got the email, Tesla is selling scarcity, special trim and a numbered plaque on top of the fastest sedan it already makes. (nationaltoday.com)
