Tesla roadster: Mis. questions bout this persistent no-show

Now that it has been five years or so that Boy Wonder Elon Musk has been promising the Tesla roadster, I am curious about a coupla things.

-I heard the price might be over $200,000. Isn't that starting to get into Ferrari territory? (How dare they!)


-Why do they call it a roadster when it's obviously a fixed head coupe with a targa roof in front and a lift up hatch in the back. Are reporters so scared of Elon that if he says a ball is a block they will refer to it as a block?

--There is on Tesla websites, mention of the Space-X package for another $50,000--which will enable it to go 0-60 mph in 1.1 seconds. Isn't that risky for passengers whose necks might snap if not warned in advance...

-On the rear at the bottom there's an upswept panel with little fins pointing downward. Is this "aero control" carried through with channeling underneath or just for show?

-they are talking of speeds over 200 mph--is that front spoiler gonna keep it down on the ground at that speed?

--Whenever I hear of which models will be built at the plants in Fremont, Texas, Shanghai or Berlin they never mention whether the roadster is going to be built. Is Musk afraid the other models are so back-ordered he can't postphone any of those deliveries any more than he already has so he can whack out some roadsters?
