The Tesla Roadster 2 is coming in 2020 with a $200,000 price tag, and there is a special edition available to order now. the new Roadster does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. While Tesla is still working through the Model 3 orders, the company is setting lofty goals with this super fast, high range Roadster 2.0. This two door Tesla is all the way on the other end of the spectrum from the affordable and somewhat pedestrian Model 3. We will walk you through what you need to know about the Tesla Roadster 2 specs, price, speed, range and other key details that you need to know about, including the special Founders Edition and when the Tesla Roadster 2 will hit the streets. Tesla Roadster 2 Price This is the new Tesla Roadster 2, coming in 2020. The Tesla Roadster 2 is $200,000 and you can reserve one now with a $50,000 downpayment. That’s $50,000 down for a car that won’t be in your driveway for at least two years. If you want one of the first models you can upgrade to the Tesla Roadster 2 Founders Edition which is $250,000 and it requires the full amount paid in full. There are only 1,000 of these special edition models being made. You can reserve both models on the Tesla website with a $5,000 credit card payment and then a wire transfer to complete the payment within 10 days. Tesla Roadster 2 Design The Tesla Roadster 2 looks sporty with a futuristic design that is definitely eye catching. In addition to the sharp looks, there is a removable top over the driver and passenger that opens up the cabin similar to the way a Mazda MX-5 RF cabin is open. The glass roof stores in the trunk when you want the open cabin experience. With a two door design and serious sports car specs, you still get seating for four, but we don’t know how much legroom is available for the back seat. You may end up with a seat without much room for passengers like in the 2018 Lexus LC 500. A stark dash with a large center screen and a futuristic looking wheel dominate the front of the interior. Seats with plenty of bolsters to keep you in place while accelerating are visible in the front. Tesla Roadster 2 Range The Tesla Roadster 2 range is listed as 620 miles before you need to recharge. For comparison the Tesla Model S offers 275 to 337 miles of range, the Model X offers 295 miles of range and the Model 3 offers 220 to 335 miles of range. The other Teslas offer different ranges based on the configuration you buy. So far there is only one number for the Roadster 2.0. Tesla Roadster 2 Specs
