Tesla Flying Car Roadster Open for Reservation, but Doesn't Land Anytime Soon. Check Variants, Launch Details

Tesla says the Roadster remains under development, with final pricing still unset and delivery timing uncertain.

  • Tesla opened reservations for the new Roadster, accepting deposits up to $250,000, though the company warns final pricing remains undetermined and delivery is not guaranteed.
  • Previous attempts to launch a next-generation Roadster in 2017 ended in development delays, causing reservation holders like Sam Altman and YouTuber Marques Brownlee to cancel orders after waiting nearly a decade.
  • The vehicle comes in Performance, Thrust, and Rocket variants, with the $50,000 Performance model described as 'road ready' while the limited-edition Thrust variant is 'race ready' for tracks.
  • Regulators like the FAA and CAA lack clear rules for flying vehicles, and the product page for the flying model states it is 'not approved for public road use.'
  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk aims for 2028 production, though he was vague on legality, telling an audience member, 'Depends on your street. But it'll be a viable car.
