Tesla reopened $50,000 reservations for the Roadster and announced a debut on October 1, 2026, but later delayed it to October 15 due to unfavorable weather, since the event was planned outdoors. Investor Ross Gerber, CEO and co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth Management, said he holds no reservation and called the hovering feature a gimmick that would balloon costs. He predicted the Roadster may be a limited run of just a few hundred units and said the high-end EV market is smaller than the overall high-end car market. He also criticized Tesla's decision to discontinue the Model S Plaid and stressed the importance of low-cost EVs amid high gas prices tied to the Iran war and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
