Tesla Roadster Pricing and Specifications Revealed Ahead of 2026 Launch

Tesla has announced the pricing structure for the new Roadster, with a reservation fee of $50,000 for the Performance trim and a reported $250,000 for the Thrust trim. However, the final pricing remains uncertain as Tesla has not yet published the order configurator, leading to speculation about the actual costs.
The significance of this announcement lies in the anticipation surrounding the Roadster's performance capabilities, including a top speed exceeding 230 mph and a range of over 300 miles. The shift from the previously promised 620-mile range to the current estimate reflects changes in Tesla's projections since the prototype was unveiled in 2017.
Tesla aims for a production target in 2028, following a demo that is expected to occur 12 to 18 months after the reveal. The timeline for delivery remains unclear, as the original announcement for the Roadster was made in 2017 with a target for 2020, which has since been delayed.
