$100,000 Electric Car, 0 to 60 in 4 seconds

Tesla Motors announce the arrival of the Tesla Roadster Signature 100 edition, sold out!

As a result, they have opened up reservations for an additional series of the next 100 produced Tesla Roadsters. These vehicles, like the Signature 100, will be fully loaded versions of the Tesla Roadster:

  • Removable hard top and soft top
  • Navigation system
  • Mobile charging cable
  • Upgraded leather interior
  • A/C, power locks and windows, cruise control
  • Heated seats, stereo w/ CD player, iPod connector
  • Valet mode to limit car’s range, acceleration and speed
  • Security system
  • Dual airbags, ABS brakes, traction control
  • Tesla-branded floor mats
These next 100 Tesla Roadsters have an anticipated delivery date in the fall of 2007. As with the Signature 100, these Tesla Roadsters will be priced at $100,000 (excluding taxes and other governmental fees). To secure a spot, they require a reservation payment of $75,000 which can be applied to the sales price at the time of delivery. This reservation payment is fully refundable at any time up to and including the day of delivery.

If you happen to live outside of a 100 mile radius of one of their initial Customer Care Centers (locations will be in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York City and Miami), they will be charging a one time out-of-service area fee of $8000. This fee will allow you to receive the same high level of service that customers within 100 mile radius will receive and will cover the cost of sending a Tesla Motors-trained technician to your home or transporting your car to their nearest facility for servicing if necessary.
