Tesla unveils redesigned Roadster, with Performance reservations available in China

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) unveiled its redesigned second-generation Roadster sports car, with its Chinese website now accepting reservations for the Performance version and production of the long-delayed model targeted for 2028.

Customers in China must pay a reservation deposit of 332,000 yuan ($49,390), which the website lists as fully refundable. The deposit is not the vehicle's price, and Tesla has yet to announce final pricing.

The Chinese website requires payment within 10 days, with reservations considered complete only after Tesla receives the funds. It also notes that any difference in the deposit resulting from order changes will not be refunded.

By comparison, the US website requires an initial payment of $5,000, followed by another $45,000 within 10 days, for a total of $50,000. Reservations may be canceled if payment is not completed on time.

The unveiling took place on Thursday, October 15, at SpaceX's testing facility in McGregor, Texas, corresponding to October 16 in Beijing.

The demonstration vehicle used suction fans and cold-gas thrusters to drive up a curved ramp before flipping through the air and landing. It also jumped over a lineup of Tesla vehicles, including the Semi truck.

However, the Performance version currently available to reserve in China does not include the full flight system, and the aerial stunts demonstrated at the event should not be taken as capabilities of that version.
