Tesla Roadster finally unveiled

The Tesla Roadster, first announced in 2017, has finally been revealed during a high-profile presentation that is likely to be remembered as a significant moment in automotive history. However, the electric sports car's arrival on the market may still be delayed.

Launch date remains uncertain

Although Tesla plans to launch the Roadster in 2028, the fine print on order forms suggests that delays could still occur. The company has left the possibility open for further postponements, despite the official timeline.

Pricing and features not finalized

The Roadster Performance is priced at 45,000 euros, while the Thrust version, which includes acceleration thrusters, costs 245,000 euros. However, the reservation contracts include notes indicating that prices are estimates and may change as the vehicle's features and options are finalized.

Reservation terms include uncertainties

One clause in the reservation contract states that the Roadster is still in development and that Tesla cannot guarantee a delivery date or even that the vehicle will be delivered. Buyers may face unexpected delays or, in some cases, a refund if the car is not delivered.

Tesla clarifies contract nature

The company explains that the reservation contract functions more like a ticket for a place in the queue, rather than a binding purchase agreement. Another note clarifies that the final price will be confirmed once the Roadster is fully configured and ready for production.

Enthusiasm remains high despite uncertainty

Despite the uncertainties, Tesla appears to be collecting reservations for the Roadster. The October 15th presentation has generated significant excitement among fans. The base model offers around 1,088 horsepower, while the Thrust version reaches 1,360. Tesla claims a top speed of 344 km/h, though battery details remain unconfirmed.
