Tesla's Troubled Roadster Might Finally Have A Real Release Date
Tesla will reveal pricing, specs and production targets for the long-delayed Roadster as it reopens reservations requiring a $50,000 deposit.
- On October 1, Tesla will reveal its long-awaited Roadster at the SpaceX McGregor test site near Waco, Texas, while simultaneously reopening reservations requiring a $50,000 deposit.
- First announced in 2017, the Roadster has missed multiple production deadlines over nine years, with targets originally set for 2020, then moved to 2023 and 2024 amid supply-chain challenges.
- Securing a reservation requires an initial, fully refundable $5,000 credit card payment, followed by a $45,000 wire transfer within 10 days to finalize the booking.
- Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk's claim that the vehicle will "fly," prediction markets remain deeply skeptical, with bettors on Polymarket assigning just a 4.5% chance of delivery by end of 2026.
- Valuations remain contested, with Tesla trading at a high forward earnings multiple that represents a significant premium compared to multiples for Uber and Ford.
