Among the last units manufactured, a very special series appeared, just 350 vehicles named Signaturereserved exclusively for a select group of clients.
A farewell reserved for few
Not everyone can access these versions. Tesla has decided that its marketing will be by invitation only, reinforcing that air of exclusivity that surrounds the entire operation. The price does not go unnoticed either, each unit reaches $159,420 dollarsplacing itself at the top of the range.
The strategy is not coincidental. The Mannequin S, launched in 2012, had already had a Signature edition limited to 1,000 units at the beginning.. That first series was aimed at the pioneers of top-price electric mobility.
Now, more than a decade later, the brand recovers the name to close the cycle, although with a much more exclusive approach and with considerably higher figures.
Uncompromising power
Signature editions are not just an aesthetic issue. Under the body, both the Mannequin S and the Mannequin
Both models develop 1,020 horsepowerwhich keeps them among the most radical electric cars produced in series. Added to this is a complete package that includes the FSD autonomous driving system.the unparalleled Yoke-type steering wheel and a series of benefits designed to enhance the ownership experience.
These extras include four years of VIP service and free access to the Supercharger network during the same period.a clear nod to those who are part of this closing stage.
Details that point to collection
The work visible in these versions seeks to ensure that each unit has its own character. The exterior logos in a gold finish, the specific brake calipers on the Mannequin S and the Signature badges spread across the body reinforce that feeling of a unique piece.
Inside, the atmosphere is based on a combination of white Alcantara with black contrasts and ambient lighting. Everything is designed to convey exclusivity without falling into excess.
Each vehicle also includes two personalized keys in a garnet red tone, delivered in a special box that shows the production number. The series is divided into 250 units of the Mannequin S Plaid Signature and only 100 of the Mannequin X Plaid Signatureall with an exclusive paint in that same garnet color accompanied by gold details.
A closure that opens another stage
Although both models still appear on the Tesla website in the United States, it is no longer possible to configure them from scratch. The brand is focusing customers on available stock, a clear sign that the cycle is completely closed.
Meanwhile, Tesla is already looking ahead. The company is preparing the start of production of new projects, and one of the most striking does not have wheels. This is Optimus, his humanoid robot, with which he intends to open a new line within his business.
