Tesla retains $5,000 deposit for undelivered Roadster after 8 years

Tesla has delayed the release of its next-gen Roadster for over eight years, with reservation holders, including tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, facing difficulties in getting their $50,000 deposits refunded. Brownlee finally received his refund after a lengthy process, though initially only $45,000 was returned, which was later corrected. Despite promises of an updated version by the end of the year from CEO Elon Musk, the vehicle's launch remains uncertain.
