Yeah, I was surprised to see the white still in Santana Row. I was too busy throwing Model S questions at them to dive into the remaining Roadsters.
The second to last Final Five is also still available, too.
I was in the Menlo Park store early today and they told me there were only 2 more available in the US and both were in the Menlo Park store (not in Santana Row). We were just there to get a jacket so I didn't really have time to get more details. They have a few additional roadsters in Menlo Park that are scheduled for delivery, 3 "museum" cars that they won't be selling and they have a few already sold units that they let customer store in the showroom (Mascar seems to be doing this).
I'm more than a little annoyed that MotorTrend is taking a not-so-subtle swipe at the Tesla Roadster by picturing it on a flatbed truck in their recent Rest in Pieces – Cars that Bit the Dust in 2011 article. None of the other vehicles in the article are shown in this way, leading me to conclude that MotorTrend is apparently not staffed by professional journalists anymore. Or maybe they never were.
Motor Trend has ALWAYS been staffed by professionals. Never by journalists however, but the world's oldest profession.

Well, that is a scene from the MotorTrend run-off against the Boxster Spyder, which was pretty favorable.Originally Posted by DaveD

They probably chose it because it was something they had rights to already, and the scene is "cute".
I just came back from the Santana Row store and first he said there was only one left in all of North America. But then he went back and checked and said it was sold. He said it was decked out with every option, racing stripes, etc and was going for $200k.
Lance at the Seattle store confirms Roadsters are now sold out in North America.

Nov 30 2006 to Jun 5 2009 - A long wait for an awesome ride.
Maybe some conflicting information here. I heard that the last non-Final-Five Roadster did, in fact, sell (again), but that the penultimate VIN (1463) is still for sale.
I don't believe the Final-Five were ever on Tesla's lists, so perhaps that explains the difference?
If 1463 has sold, then that's great. I don't think Tesla wanted to try to sell a Roadster in 2012 - the Traction Control and other waivers expire today (12/31/2011).
