Tesla has opened up Tesla Roadster reservations once more, letting buyers put down a Roadster reservation $5000 today and wire another $45,000 within ten days for a total Tesla Roadster deposit of $50,000.
This structure keeps credit-card rewards limited to the first chunk while ensuring Tesla gets serious cash fast. The company is clearly preparing for the Tesla Roadster October 1 event, yet it still refuses to lock in a final Tesla Roadster price.
What the deposit actually signals
Tesla’s statement makes it clear the vehicle’s options, features, and hardware are still being finalized. Anyone expecting a $200,000 or $300,000 base car is probably underestimating the final number, especially once the SpaceX-thruster “SpaceX Package” version arrives.
