Tesla Roadster reservations are open again 🤑

[ModelAZ]

Tesla Roadster reservations are open again! Anyone considering it?? I definitely would have if reservation opened when stock market was ripping earlier this year.

Here's the terms:

Roadster reservations require an initial $5,000 credit card payment, plus a $45,000 wire transfer payment due in 10 days. Reservations are not final until the wire transfer payment is received.​

​

The estimated purchase price of the vehicle, if provided, is only an estimate. We are still working on what options, features and hardware the vehicle will have and so cannot confirm the exact price just yet. Your Purchase Price will ultimately be confirmed once you’ve configured your vehicle.​

Ok, the reservation page is indeed back open.

Does this mean that the foundation series is all sold out?

Does this mean that you can no longer get the cold air thrusters?

Does this mean that if you order now - that you are in the back of the line when it comes to delivery?

I guess the Roadster will be somewhere between $250k and $500k. I came up with that figure as a comparison to the Ferrari "Luce" at $680k and the YangWang U9 at $250k. Those are the competitors I would think are the Roadster's direct competition in performance envelope and "rare-air" all-electric production Hypercars.

For the SpaceX package optioned Roadster, I'm going to guess about $2 Million. Give or take $500k. That kind of extreme performance will be very rare, I think, and highly collectible. My guess is from seeing the YangWang U9 *Extreme*, fastest car in the world, all-electric 2900 horse-power, dancing HyperCar. It costs $2.75 Million and limited to 30 units. If the rumors are true about the SpaceX package, Flying Car, F1 Fan Car tech, track only, etc., I imagine it will be a limited production run for Tesla.

I am hoping they changed their thinking and are now going with a lightweight roadster which would also be lower cost but much higher volume. Something like $100k and 3,000 lb. That can be a fun daily driver. Replace my Porsche Boxster GTS.

$250k cars are garage queens. Not gonna park them at a restaraunt, etc.

Tesla, while you're at it; copy Porsche's steering system. They are uncomparable for steering feel in this era. If you really want to reach then burn a few kWh and do an electrohydraulic system like was in the Toyota MR2 Spyders.

My $250k roadster wouldn't be a garage queen.

I would love for Tesla to copy the Cybertruck steering. Steer by wire is fabulous.
I never want to turn the steering wheel all the way around again.
