    The roadster was unveiled in 2017, and was supposed to come out in 2020.

    It’s been almost 10 years since the announcement, and almost 7 years since it was supposed to be out on the streets.

    Since then it was postponed, at least twice, to 2023 and then 2024.

    Not to mention that what they presented last week is in no way shape or form, anything like was it was supposed to be in 2020. And it’s basically a gimmick.

    It’s EXTREMELY sketchy.

      Fair enough, I only had the “half decade” delay mentioned in the comment I replied to as reference, which in itself wouldn’t be cause for concern.

        Oh and I forgot about the hundreds of millions of dollars they took in advances for the Roadster.

        Hundreds of millions in what amounts to a no-interest loan of 10 years.

        Sooooo sketchy.
