If you thought the final chapter of Tesla's flagship sedan was completely written for the North American market, think again. It turns out that a handful of ultra-rare vehicles from the last Model S production run ever were held back for some lucky buyers across the Atlantic. Reports indicate that Tesla has quietly started reaching out to select customers in Europe with an exclusive invitation to buy a Model S Signature Edition. piece of automotive history.
The news broke after Christian Dallapozza, a member of a German Tesla community on Facebook, shared details of an order invitation from a local sales advisor. As reported by Drive Tesla Canada, these vehicles are not hitting the public online configurator. Instead, the process is entirely manual, with advisors managing individual allocations directly because the available inventory is incredibly tight.
What Makes the Signature Edition Special
This surprise European release comes a few months after Tesla officially stopped taking orders for the Model S and Model X. Shortly after that announcement, select customers in the U.S. started receiving special invitations to purchase Signature Edition variants of the Model S and Model X from one final manufacturing run, which culminated in an exclusive delivery event at Tesla’s Fremont factory in California last month.
While American buyers were told the final inventory — 250 Model S and 100 Model X Signature Edition units — was entirely sold out, it seems that the messaging was specific to the domestic market. The new European invitations specifically mention the Model S Signature Edition, suggesting that the Model X variant is indeed sold out for good.
Tesla’s final Model S and Model X builds are Plaid variants packed with collector-level details. They sport an exclusive Garnet Red paint with matching handles, carbon ceramic brakes with gold calipers, gold seat badging with gold piping, and a backlit interior dashboard plate that reads "1 of 250" (or "1 of 100," for the Model X).

Pricing and Delivery Expectations
Every single one of these vehicles comes as a fully loaded Plaid model bundled with the Luxe Package, which includes non-transferable premium perks like free lifetime Supercharging and Full Self-Driving (Supervised). In the U.S., this final collector series carried a premium price tag of $159,420, though official European pricing isn’t available yet.
Tesla’s order invite indicates that only about 20 units are headed to Europe, representing about 8% of the Model S Signature’s total production run. European deliveries are expected to take place between July and September. It remains to be seen if any other international markets will receive similar surprise batches of Tesla’s last Model S units, but for now, European collectors have one last chance to grab a factory-fresh piece of the flagship legacy.
