Tesla Roadster's $200,000 price tag draws criticism

Original: "Tone-deaf Trillionaire Launches $200,000 Electric Supercar." The Time Is Ripe For A $200,000 Electric Sports Car…In Sau

Tesla has launched its long-delayed Roadster electric supercar at a price of about $200,000. Commentary around the launch calls the move tone-deaf, arguing few American buyers can afford such a vehicle in the current economy, with one writer suggesting demand may be stronger in wealthy markets like Saudi Arabia than in the United States.

Why now: The high price of Tesla's new Roadster is being criticised as out of touch with economic conditions facing ordinary consumers.
