The final purchase price is unpublished in our checked sources. US reservation payments total $50,000 for Performance and $250,000 for Thrust; these are deposits.
How much does the new Tesla Roadster cost?
A verified final vehicle price is not available in our checked current sources. The US checkout lists reservation payments, so $50,000 and $250,000 should not be quoted as the price of the car.

Read the payment conditions in context
What the checked page says about refunds
The configurator labels the amount due today as “Fully refundable.” It also says reservations are not final until payment arrives, and an incomplete payment within ten days can lead to cancellation. It warns that refunds for modifications will not be issued. That wording is not enough to promise that every payment and change is refundable in every situation.
Read your region’s actual reservation agreement before paying. We have not interpreted all contract provisions or verified the treatment of every later payment. The agreement and Tesla’s current checkout control the transaction.
Thrust has additional limits
The US page restricts Thrust to one order per customer and reserves the ability to cancel duplicate purchases. Regional legal requirements apply. Rocket is disabled as a public checkout choice in the checked configurator; an invitation is a separate process.
Other regions are not interchangeable
Our figures cover the United States in USD. We have not verified current amounts, taxes, import costs, local refunds or available versions for the UK, EU, China or other markets. A currency conversion would not establish a local offer.

Confirm the version, country, payment recipient and latest agreement on Tesla’s own domain. Roadster Club never accepts vehicle deposits, sells reservations or enrolls readers in an official purchase queue.
