Tesla Reopens Roadster Reservations In China, A Day After US Bookings Return

Tesla Inc TSLA is once again accepting reservations for its electric sports car Roadster in China after pausing pre-orders last year, the electric vehicle maker’s website showed.

What Happened: Customers in China can pre-order a Roadster by paying a refundable deposit of $52,120.

Tesla on Tuesday reopened Roadster reservations in the United States, with a $50,000 booking amount.  

The EV maker has not revealed the final prices for the Roadster. Austin, Texas-based Tesla’s website says the Roadster can clock 621 miles when fully charged and will be equipped with a 200-kWh battery.

Tesla had taken down the pricing and stopped accepting new reservations for the Roadster in December 2021.
