Tesla Roadster with temporary transmissions

Tesla Roadster should be launched before the end of the year.
But it looks like the launch of the wicked-fast electric car will be postponed because the company is having some problems finding a transmission strong enough to handle gear shifts while the car runs at full torque.
In the meantime, the company is considering providing vehicles that feature “temporary” transmissions.
There is already one model built right now, but that one has been built for company chairman Elon Musk and Tesla is currently undecided whether to ship cars with the temporary units and then to replace them when a final transmission becomes available. I’m quite sure that a lot of people would buy this car no matter what transmission will it outfitted with.
