Tesla has reopened reservations for its long-delayed Roadster, requiring a $5,000 refundable deposit followed by an additional $45,000 wire transfer within 10 days. The company plans to unveil the car's pricing, specifications and production timeline at an event near Waco, Texas on October 1, having first taken $50,000 deposits for the same car back in 2017.
Tesla announced via its official X account that the next Roadster will finally be unveiled on October 10, nearly a decade after the original 2017 prototype debut. The company's website now shows a countdown teasing possible SpaceX-derived thruster hardware, following earlier reports that the car could include flight-like capabilities.
Tesla posted a teaser on X reading "Go for launch" with a graphic pointing to an October 1 date for unveiling its next Roadster. The vehicle, first announced in 2017, has faced repeated delays, and reports indicate the original design has been scrapped for a completely new one set to debut at this event.
