My favorite is taking deposits for the roadster since 2017:
> A prototype of the Roadster was shown in a surprise moment…with a tease of availability in the year 2020
> In July 2020, during the 2020 second quarter financial results conference call, Musk stated that Tesla plans to tentatively build the Roadster in California and production would be in the next 12 to 18 months, indicating mid to late 2021.[33]
> In January 2021, Musk tweeted that production would be delayed until 2022. He commented that in 2021, the company would finish engineering the Roadster with the goal of having a "candidate design drivable late summer".[34] In September 2021, Musk said that production would be delayed until 2023.[35] Musk further confirmed the 2023 target at the 2021 shareholder's meeting in October,[36] which was then changed to 2024 at the May 2023 shareholder's meeting.[37] In February 2024, the production date was changed to 2025.[38]
