Tesla Roadster recently opened up its reservation for the new electric vehicle, and it surprised the public with its fee, a minimum of $50,000 that needs to be paid within ten days. It is the price necessary to secure the sports electric car from the clean energy company without any announcements of its actual release date to the world.

According to CNBC's Lora Kolodny, the reservation for a Tesla Roadster is now open. It will help the public secure an electric vehicle unit when it releases to the world. However, there is a massive catch, and its price is $50,000, the price of a regular Tesla car that is readily available in its dealership or online stores now. 

The public would have to pay $5,000 upfront for the initial reservation, but they are required by Tesla to pay an additional $45,000 within ten days to secure the unit for when it releases fully. It is not yet the total payment to the vehicle, as it will cost more than $50,000 for the electric sports car itself. 

The Tesla Roadster is a premium vehicle, but it is an expensive one despite the $5,000 refundable deposit in terms of reservation.

Tesla Roadster Reservation: Is It Worth It?

CNET reports that the Tesla Roadster is coming by the end of 2023, and it is a long wait for those that will pay $50,000 as a downpayment for the vehicle. The price of the car is not merely a reservation, but it is a massive percentage of its total cost for its actual sale. 

The price and release date of the Tesla Roadster remains unknown. 

What to Expect from the Tesla Roadster

The Tesla Roadster had a brief time where Elon Musk talked about it online, and the CEO teased many features of the car that will come with the vehicle's next release. Back in 2018, Tesla and Musk introduced the concept of the Roadster, and it is the first update of the EV since its first release in 2008, which gave the world one of the earliest electric sports cars. 

One of the earliest features of the new Roadster is its capability to go from zero to 60 mph in 1.1 seconds, and it is the SpaceX thruster package that will help the car gain more speed. Many factors contribute to the new Roadster being a vehicle worthy of buying and considering during this time, and these are the Tesla features included in the car. 

SpaceX brought the original Tesla Roadster to Mars and left the vehicle floating around with a mannequin astronaut that straps itself on the car that has the top down. One can say that the Roadster is out of this world, and the new electric vehicle has skyrocketing prices for its reservation, almost essentially purchasing the EV from Tesla.
