Great trip Ron! But no pictures driving the roadster anywhere on the trip? :) Probably would have complicated the drive a bit having to charge the roadster at night, but you could have had some fun while charging the Y... I assume you're coming to Austin in a couple weeks whether we end up...

Was yours bricked or just reduced CAC?

Very well also could be the battery is not in that good of shape due to poor management, thus, they did not provide the information. If I was selling a car with a good battery, I would provide the information as a selling point. Absolutely no reason NOT to provide the information IF it would...

Just a wild guess would be algorithm issue finally getting updated data and self-correcting. If the charge amount is correct, even approximate, then the CAC appears to be close to the current state of the battery...perhaps/probably it was wrong when it fell to the 76. That mileage looks like...

I think that 3.0 is referring to the battery upgrade.

Others have already provided some info and @X.l.r.8 has a lot of detail to think about. @CM_007 may have some leads as well as GMC. I picked up mine in Dallas a couple years back from a dealer via a google search for tesla roadster. My first drive was Dallas to Austin. If you've done your...

Who said they were all from Gruber's fires? No one. He had a good head start in collecting the list since many were in his buildings when the loss occurred.

Both stories could be correct. You don't have a dead battery right now. I think we all hope that as they start to see the light at the end of the tunnel for the currently bricked cars battery replacements, they understand the need to continue making an effort at replacing bricked batteries to...

So you're saying GMC is involved with Q-anon? Good story bro...

I guess that is how a paint job can total a roadster...guess I better look harder at Haggerty...

Obviously salvage value will depend on the condition of the remains, some may be "better" than others. Could have been an under/poorly insured car that was totaled for low value and reclaimed when in actuality, it was possibly worth more than the insurance value. That is one reason it may be...

...34 of the 85 listed.

Why would he? The original roadster was more of a proof of concept. This one is different. Once they have a production line, no reason not to build cars, especially if they can be profitable, and the biggest cost delta of it will be the battery size to get 600 miles range. It will be similar...

Yep, I highly doubt the valuations there take into account the loss of 30 roadsters and the recent pricing increases...but in the end, it's a matter of what you want in return for the cost. Very unlikely to be able to replace a car that is a total loss. I don't see the "cherished salvage"...

The original roadster was a limited production. There is nothing indicating the new roadster will be limited (in anything, pretty much). Anyone with the money will be able to buy one eventually. I have not heard the volume, but it won't be a limited production quantity/timeframe...
