He topped that reveal in 2018 when he shot an original Roadster convertible into space with an astronaut dummy in the front seat, while blasting David Bowie's "Space Oddity" on the livestream.

Then the production timeline for the speed demon got pushed back, from starting in 2020 to 2022. Security guards wouldn't let him inside or even lean slightly over protective ropes to get a better look earlier this week at the Petersen Automotive Museum (opens in a new tab) in Los Angeles, where a bright red prototype of the all-electric car is on display through June 2.įamously, Tesla doesn't have car dealerships so when the Las Vegas resident decided to reserve what was promised to be the fastest production car in the world, he had to put down that chunk of cash sight unseen in 2017. The first time Tommy Nguyen saw a second-generation Tesla Roadster in person was four years after he put down a $50,000 deposit for the car - and he had to drive over four hours to check it out in a museum.
