Tesla Wants $50,000 Deposits For A Roadster Nobody Has Seen Yet

  • Tesla reopened reservations for the Roadster, and they cost $50,000 a pop.
  • The company plans to unveil the new supercar on October 1.
  • Elon Musk has made bold promises about what the Roadster will be like.

The last time Elon Musk asked people for $50,000 deposits on the Tesla Roadster was in 2017. Those reservation holders were told they'd get their car in 2020. That did not happen. In fact, it still hasn't. Now, those same reservation holders must be getting déjà vu, because Tesla is once again asking for $50,000 deposits to get in line for a Roadster. Insert that Bernie Sanders meme here.
