Checked on October 16, Tesla’s product and reservation pages describe Performance and two additional configurations. Thrust adds rear cold-gas thrusters; Rocket is invitation-only. These are manufacturer descriptions.

The official pages describe Performance and Thrust as two-seaters and Rocket as a single-seater. Tesla explicitly states that Rocket is not approved for public road use. A reservation listing is not proof of road-use approval.

Tesla’s July 22 second-quarter update listed Roadster in design development, with its manufacturing location undecided. That historical snapshot and today’s product page cover different dates. The material reviewed does not establish that series production or customer deliveries have begun.

LEGENDARY analysis: The meaningful next checkpoints are delivered specifications, reproducible performance and regional operating conditions. Reservation availability and permission to use a vehicle on public roads are separate questions.

Verification limits: Final vehicle pricing and customer delivery dates were not established in the reviewed material. Performance language is not an independent test result; Tesla’s Korean page labels the imagery as staged advertising.
