The execution on the roadster baffles me.

IIRC the deposit was 250K, and I know people who signed up on the first day. Can you imagine a more dedicated fan?

How do you not deliver to that group? How big an own-goal is that?

The other thing is various other companies built pretty much what Tesla was promising like the Rimac Nevera and the Yangwany U9, showing it was quite doable if Tesla had put some enthusiastic engineers on it and said go do it?
