As reported here → Tesla Roadster Production Likely Under 10,000: Will Beat All Hypercars
To put that in perspective, Tesla produced somewhere around 2,500 first-generation Roadsters, total. (If I recall right, about 1,500 were sold in the USA.)
Given that the new Roadster is a far more advanced car with incredible specifications, and Tesla is a much more established and known entity now, 10,000 per year seems just about on point to me.
Over on Reddit this did spark a bit of conversation about who the likely buyers will be. My theory is that interest from the usual supercar crowd will be tepid. To them it's something out of left field. I expect it to draw in a lot of people from outside those circles, from people who never would have bought a Ferrari or a Lambo.
