Tesla is getting ready to say goodbye to the Model S and Model X, but wants to turn this story into a tightly contained affair. And on the surface, the Signature Series is a farewell pass, with a limited run of Garnet Red Plaid models, complete with numbered plaques, special badging, and a load of extra bits and pieces. Those interested in owning one of these vehicles will receive an email asking them to sign a no-resale agreement for one year or pay a steep penalty to the company. And while that approach may be eye-opening to some, it’s certainly not unusual in the broader automotive industry.
