Tesla's vision for the future: Manually driving your own car will be a luxury for the rich
At the Roadster launch, Elon Musk said it will be the "only manually driven car that Tesla makes." We don't know the price, but it's not cheap.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the all-new Roadster with a gravity-defying display on Thursday. The company's sole vehicle that humans will manually drive in the future will cost at least $250,000, Musk said. The car performed stunts like suctioning to a vertical ramp, driving upside down, briefly flying, and bunny-hopping over other Tesla vehicles.
The company hasn't disclosed the final price, but it is expected to fit in the luxury supercar tier. The Roadster's base Performance trim requires a $50,000 reservation, almost the cost of an average vehicle in America. In the future, Musk envisions driving being as convenient as operating an elevator, which is why the Roadster is a unique addition to Tesla's lineup.
