Overview
- Reservations for the 350-car Signature Edition run have closed, with the 100-unit Model X confirmed sold out, and invited buyers must accept a one-year resale ban.
- The contract bars any sale in the first year and gives Tesla the first chance to buy the car back at the original price minus $0.25 per mile and wear-and-tear costs.
- If Tesla believes a flip is coming or sees a breach, it can try to block the title transfer in court, demand $50,000 or the full resale proceeds, and refuse future vehicle sales to that buyer.
- Each car costs $159,420 and comes only in Garnet Red with Luxe Package perks, but Full Self-Driving, free Supercharging, and Premium Connectivity do not transfer to a second owner.
- Deliveries begin in May 2026 as Tesla winds down Model S and X and readies the Fremont lines for Optimus robot production, reviving an anti-flip approach it tried with early Cybertrucks before dropping it.
