Regarding the Roadster, Elon said in the August 3rd Conference call:
He did say that this was the U.S. situation and that cars were available for Asia and Europe, but used the words "sold out" several times.

I was told this morning that there were 70 Roadsters left. Then this afternoon the number dropped to 69.
Just received an email from Tesla Japan advertising new financing deals on the Roadster. There appear to be many left for sale here and why not with the yen at 76.5.... 10 year lease and loan deals with 0 down payment and 99,999 monthly rates are being advertised. No mention at all here regarding the end of production as they feel it could scare off potential buyers worried about future servicing on the car. They are trying to do a smooth run of Roadster sales right into the launch of the Model S.

I heard 40 or so Roadsters were left for the US market. A Arctic White 2.5 was delivered to Atlanta a few weeks ago brining our total to 10. A friend at Tesla said 2 more could be on their way to Atlanta if buyers commit to purchasing. I think there are only 2 Lighting Green Roadsters left in the country. A friend saw one at the DC store a few weeks ago.
A DC store Ranger used a Lighting Green one to come to my office last week to do a couple small things on my Roadster.

It seems most likely that the "40 or so" number already includes the 29 spec cars. In other words, I don't think you can also add those to the total. Tesla Motors has been saying that not all combinations from the Design Studio are available, and that's been the story for a month or more.
I get the impression that they're mostly selling spec cars, but are willing to change a few parts. I saw the light-colored executive leather interior of the black sport in Seattle go to an owner who wanted that color in his car, and meanwhile the black sport was fitted with black executive leather. Personally, I thought that that black sport looked much nicer with the lighter executive leather, but I guess "a bird in the hand..."

Outside the USA, Tesla are now down to just a few RHD custom order Roadsters left. Still plenty of RHD spec cars, but the custom slots are almost sold out. Looks like Australia, Hong Kong and UK will be fighting over the last few. That will leave the outside-USA-LHD custom-order cars as the last to go.

Talk to the sales guy. They have access to data that's more current than what we see as owners on My Tesla.
I get the impression that they only update that database once in a blue moon - either that, or they're selling 6 Roadsters at a time and then taking a month off.

Down to only 1 dozen left in the North American online inventory. That's 3 "new" ones with odometers ranging from 73 to 565 miles and 9 demos. Only Chicago, Colorado, Los Angeles, Menlo Park, New York, Newport, and Toronto remain as places to see and possibly test drive a Roadster.
The Seattle Tesla Store sold its last demo, so their name has dropped off the list of locations.

Phoned TM yesterday. They say around 300 NON-US Roadsters left. US must be under 20 now....time for a countdown..
The last 25 roadsters are in Menlo Park now with the very last 5 a special dual stripe in the front and rear of the car. Also more customizations are possible like the leather stitching color in red.
