I don't think this car will ever come to fruition under Musk's ownership.
For the base Roadster, a $50,000 deposit is required upfront. None of those base cars will be built until they complete the run of the Founder's Series (1,000 cars) that require a $250,000 deposit upfront, and production isn’t slated to begin until 2020.
With Musk's penchant for over promising and under delivering - that probably means you're giving him a $250,000.00 interest free loan for 3 or more years.
If I had that much expendable cash, I don't think I'd take the risk that I might get a fancy fast car someday.
How long will Tesla be in business?
