Tesla Roadster deposit does not guarantee delivery, fine print says

Tesla's Roadster reservation agreement states the company cannot guarantee when, or whether, the car will be delivered. The deposit only buys approximate queue priority, with price, specs and production date still undefined; manufacturing is expected no earlier than 2028.

• Deposit is refundable but guarantees neither delivery nor timing
• Price, specifications and options remain undetermined
• Production expected in 2028, 11 years after the 2017 reveal
• Claimed 0.81-second 0-60 mph time is unverified independently
