The Tesla Roadster's production timeline has been significantly delayed, with a potential new production start in 2026 as mentioned in a recent earnings call. Despite having completed most of the engineering since 2017, the company seems to prioritize other projects such as the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck over the Roadster, which has been relegated to a low priority status. This positioning implies that the Roadster is seen merely as an afterthought or 'cherry on top' of Tesla's offerings. Concerns are raised about the implications of customers who have paid $250,000 for the vehicle as their investment increasingly seems neglected. The ongoing delays reflect a broader strategy of prioritizing other initiatives over the Roadster, leading to fears that it may soon fall into a status of no priority at all. The unpredictability of Elon's statements further complicates the situation, as there seems to be a disconnect between what is said and how it translates into action regarding the Roadster's production.
