Let's use this thread to update on any communication we have with official Tesla employees on the 2020 Roadster. I will go first. Perhaps I didn't notice before, but note the "Production is expected to begin in 2020" which makes me think this is a 2021 delivery.
I also recently spoke with Tesla asking if they would tell me anything about the extra features I will get with the Founders Series Roadster and was told this is "super secret" information and is "27 levels above" the person I spoke with and that "only a few people in the company know the answer to this. I asked specifically about the Space X option and was told that Tesla employees know nothing more than we can read from Elon on Twitter.
So, we are all going on faith here with respect to what the FS Roadster comes with. As interest rates rise, opportunity costs are rising by the quarter, but it is ok. This will be the most desirable car on earth upon its release and it will be a true joy to be part of the revolution.
Tesla/Elon has a history of doing right by people with various personal guarantees Elon has made and such and I think the same will be true here. The only worry I have is that order time will come and they will say "we got your initial deposit of $250K, and the total price is $425K." Does anyone have any insight into this being a real risk or not?
