Just curious what people think. When do y'all expect the launch to occur? Specifically when will the Founder's Edition people start getting their cars?

The Roadster is like a side project to Tesla. Not a lot of people will be working on that. And most likely, every Roadster will be hand built. But given Tesla's history with deadlines, I'm expecting the first deliveries in 2021 for the US and 2022 for the rest of the world, with the referral winners being late in the game, as the real sales will generates additional cash they will need to pay for the free ones, to keep those off the books or in the positive (damn you, shareholders! )I'd guess 2023. They seem completely focused on other things at this point, and it hasn't even been mentioned recently.

Tesla has become a very secretive company -- so unlike the early days when the original Roadster was in the works. Who knows what progress they've made behind closed doors?
But Tesla’s lack of “Roadster 2020 enthusiasm” makes me think this project may be at the risk of being cancelled altogether. It’s good there’s no “never” button in the poll, because as much as I wish for the contrary (I’m an early reservation holder) I think there may be a good chance to that becoming reality.
I’d just return the $$$ to the bank account and sit on the sidelines for a while. No one has offered up anything compelling IMO - none of the promised yet undelivered cars interest me even. AP, the range and the SC network are still major competitive advantages. The Roadster is going to be a replacement for my MS so in a world where the project is cancelled I’d continue to enjoy my MS.So here's a hypothetical question: If it were actually cancelled, where would you turn for your next electric sports car? What's Plan B, I wonder?
And where will the 2020 Roadster will be built?Just curious what people think.

I don't think 2020 refers to a date. I think it refers to how accurate your vision gets when accelerating from 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds.Since it is a 2020 Roadster it should start delivering by Sept 2019.
