If the stock market keeps going at the current rate, paying $250000 now for the founders edition is like paying $400000 if you paid in 2020 when you eventually pick it up!!
People who could put $250,000 down for a car likely have a lot more money for investment.If the stock market keeps going at the current rate, paying $250000 now for the founders edition is like paying $400000 if you paid in 2020 when you eventually pick it up!!
Has anyone ever questioned the fact that the $250,000 is only mentioned as a reservation fee. Nowhere on the website it is stated that this is the full price for the Roadster and that it will be the final price. So, we could be in for a surprise when it ill actually will cost way more that that.
It seems pretty clear to me that the founders series cost is $250k, and the deposit is the entire sum up front. I don't think there are any conspiracies here.
I wonder if the value of the dollar will impact non-US Roadster prices.
@aikisteve Also bear in mind if it's anything like previous cars, Tesla will need to get EU crash testing and stuff done, meaning EU destined cars may have a longer wait.
Founders cars here don't make as much sense.
Along with unknown import duty/ taxes.I wonder if the value of the dollar will impact non-US Roadster prices.
Whoever put down $250k for the founder series shouldn't really care much about additional fees..I would assume.
@aikisteve if you don't have a spare $250k lying around in cash then the Founders edition is not for you.
No lease company on the planet is going to put down a deposit on your behalf.
Maybe for some. But for those of us ready to downsize (and fit them all in the garage!), I am looking to replace my S (and the Ferrari) with the Roadster; hubby has the 3. Then we can swap as needed. Best laid plans, though...<snip>
I do plan on getting an S in the future (to replace my Cadillac ELR)...I can sell my X and 3 and buy the roadster...but wouldn't you rather have an S, X, 3 and maybe a Y instead of one roadster??
