Percentage "made in the USA" for the Roadster

With some of the recent buzz surrounding the Model S and how it's supposed to have a higher percentage of American made parts than any other car once the Gigafactory goes live, I started wondering about the Roadster. Unfortunately, any sort of number has been incredibly difficult to find. I know we're going to come in substantially lower than the Model S, but I'm curious how much; is it more fair to consider this an American supercar, or a British one?

I know it's hard to quantify, especially with parts of such varying size and cost, and there's a difference between parts manufactured and components assembled, but does anyone have a link to any sort of number?
