Tesla Opens Roadster Reservations in India with Payments up to Rs 2.50 Crore
Tesla has opened reservations for its next-generation Roadster in India, with booking payments ranging from Rs 50.06 lakh for the Performance variant to Rs 2.50 crore for the Thrust configuration. These amounts are reservation fees, not final prices, and Tesla has not confirmed delivery dates or right-hand-drive availability. Production is planned for 2028 with left-hand-drive models initially. The Rocket version is invitation-only and not publicly bookable. Legal and regulatory approvals for certain features remain uncertain in India.
