Man Who Put Down Deposit for Tesla Roadster Suing Elon to Retrieve the One Sent to Space
July 13, 2024

"...He can certainly bring it back and deliver it to paying customers like me."

IRVINE— An Irvine man who ignored all of Elon's red flags and put down a deposit for the Tesla Roadster is now suing Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, demanding that the company retrieve the Roadster previously launched into space and deliver it to him. The lawsuit stems from frustration over significant delays in the production and delivery of the Roadster, originally unveiled with much fanfare but now years behind schedule.


John Peters, a 45-year-old tech enthusiast from California, expressed his frustration: "I put my money down in good faith, expecting to drive the future of electric sports cars. Instead, I've been waiting for years while he made a stupid sheet metal truck. If Elon can launch a car into space, he can certainly bring it back and deliver it to paying customers like me."


The Tesla Roadster in question gained worldwide attention when it was launched into space aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket in 2018, with a mannequin named "Starman" seated at the wheel. Since then, production challenges and other priorities at Tesla have delayed the release of the Roadster to customers.


Legal experts are closely watching the case, noting the consequences of retrieving the car from space. "This case raises interesting questions about bringing back a car from space," commented legal analyst Sarah Lewis. "Elon sent that car to space so he can drive it in his home planet and brining it back would leave him with no way to travel there."


Elon Musk has yet to comment publicly on the lawsuit. However, Tesla has acknowledged the delays in Roadster production and has reassured customers they are doing nothing about it.


As the lawsuit progresses, it highlights broader issues in the electric vehicle market, where ambitious promises and technical challenges often collide. For now, Elon Musk continues to ignore John Peter as he works tirelessly to milk Tesla dry instead of finish the cars he promised he would make.
