No. That was not it.

But there is a surprise coming with a certain special Tesla Roadster. Look for it to happen near the end of July.

So, we are supposed to just speculate freely?

A Roadster in all clear carbon fiber?

One being presented to the POTUS? (Not that he would ever be allowed to drive it, even former POTUS Clinton was blocked by the Secret Service when he got close to a test drive, but it would still be a cool gift and nice publicity).

Energy Secretary Chu getting one?

We've already had the 500th, and it's way too soon for the 1000th.

That would be really cool if they did that. Previously they said it was really hard to get some of the body panels to look OK in bare carbon fiber, but maybe they managed to do it?

If so, it would sort of "complete the roster" of custom finishes that we debated over the years. For instance, "prismatic" was discussed and done, "blackberry" was discussed and done, copper was discussed (for stripes) and done, and bare carbon fiber was discussed.

On the other hand, there was this:

It seems we have dragged this thread off topic.
I am guessing that the moderators may decide to move the last few posts (starting after James' rumor unsettled things) to some new topic.
