Who is Spending $50,000 Just to Reserve a Tesla Roadster? We Have An Answer

Business owners and collectors are locking up as much as $250,000 on a car with no confirmed price or delivery date Dropping $50,000 to reserve a driverless Tesla you cannot drive yet, at a price nobody has confirmed, for delivery at a date Tesla will not guarantee, takes a particular kind of buyer. After Tesla’s prototype briefly left a ramp, rotated in midair using compressed-gas thrusters, and landed in October 2026, a few more of those buyers stepped forward, as reported by WIRED.

Volkswagen’s smartest EVs are launching in China while the US and Europe wait

Volkswagen’s newest EVs in China are making its American and European models look unusually conservative. With Xpeng’s help, VW has introduced 800-volt charging and advanced urban driving assistance.

For married couples filing jointly, the income cap would fall from US$300,000 to US$225,000 (C$315,855), while the limit for single filers would drop from…
