Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has quietly continued taking pre-orders for the company’s next-generation Roadster sports car over the weekend. The automaker had closed reservations for Founders Series versions in December 2021. However, the page has conveniently left out how much the car would cost. Customers wishing to reserve the vehicle are asked to instantly pay $5,000, requiring the remaining $45,000 deposit within ten days. Initially, the price of a Tesla Roadster was $200,000, and for a Founders Series Signature version, it was $250,000.
The car will still deliver a 0-60 mph time of around 1.9 seconds, go 0-100 in just over four seconds, and reach speeds upwards of 250 mph. Plus, Tesla wants it to go over 600 miles on a charge. The car also sits four and comes with a glass roof.
Tesla Roadster production should start a little later in 2023 following the Cybertruck.
