Tesla says it cannot guarantee Roadster reservation holders a car

Original title: Tesla 'Cannot Guarantee' Roadster Reservation Holders Will Ever Get a Car

Payments of up to $250,000 are refundable and reserve only an approximate place if production starts.

Tesla’s reservation agreement for the new Roadster says the car is still in development and delivery is not guaranteed. Buyers may pay up to $250,000 for an approximate place in line, not a confirmed build slot, and price, options, and features remain estimates. Tesla estimates production in 2028. Reservations are fully refundable and, unlike some earlier special editions, do not include a no-resale clause.

Key facts
  • The earlier second-generation Roadster never reached production.
  • Tesla has cited 0.81-second zero-to-60 performance and built-in rocket thrusters.
  • Reservations are non-transferable.

Tesla unveiled its second-generation Roadster for a second time Thursday night, nearly 10 years after the last big shindig. It made even bigger promises to help customers forget that it never delivered that car, despite taking deposits worth up to $250,000 (the full price of the top Founders Series version at the time). Now it appears Tesla is preparing to do the same thing again.
