YouTuber MKBHD cancels one of his Tesla Roadster reservations nearly 8 years after paying $50,000 deposit

YouTuber Marques Brownlee — also known as MKBHD — reserved two Tesla Roadsters in 2017. They still haven't entered production.

Tesla unveiled the new Roadster in 2017 to much fanfare. Elon Musk said that the reimagining of Tesla's first-ever vehicle was "the fastest production car ever made." It hasn't been quick to hit the roads, though; almost eight years later, there's no clear rollout date in sight.

On his "Waveform Podcast," Brownlee said that he officially canceled one of the two Roadster reservations he made in 2017. Getting his money back was more challenging than expected.

"Tesla has been sitting with my 50 grand for eight years and hasn't done anything with it, obviously," Brownlee said.
