Tesla is preparing to unveil the new Roadster electric sports car on October 1, 2026. The vehicle is positioned as an aspirational model with a base price of $200 000. Customers interested in a founders title can pay $250 000.
The reservation process requires an initial payment of $5 000 via credit card to secure a spot for 10 days. Within this period, buyers must complete a wire transfer of an additional $45 000 to finalize the reservation.
The original Tesla Roadster, launched in 2006, had a base price of approximately $100 000, which would be equivalent to about $166 000 today when adjusted for inflation.
In other industry developments, Saudi Arabia-backed Ceer Motors recently unveiled its first two EXOBOT electric vehicles. The company is the nation's first in-house automaker and plans to target the Saudi and GCC markets.
