Even for those who have paid a $50,000 initial deposit previously must dig deeper into their pockets as Tesla decides to up the original price of all its Roadsters by at least $6,700 pointing to its survival as the reason for the move. The Tesla Roadster was initially priced at $92,000 in 2008 and has been bumped to $109,000 in this present year. Tesla is basically asking customers to pay for features that were originally included as standard in the car.

The spokeswoman for Tesla said that for customers who would want to receive the car in its original price tag would do so minus a few features of which one of these include a high-power connector that charges the Roadster's batteries in just a little over three hours. This connector, which was initially included as standard, now costs $3,000 as an option and without it recharging time can reach a whopping 37 hours! Also included are the $2,300 forged-alloy wheels, a $400 SolarPlus windscreen, and a new destination charge of $1,000.
