The letter from tesla is easy to get, and I have gotten/have one. However, if it is a euro spec car, it’s not made in the US for starters. Check the vin, if the first letter is ‘S’ it’s made in the UK, and it will not be able to get imported into the US as far as I know. If the first character...

Phew, I’m glad you got both, when I saw ‘lot sold’ in the previous message, I thought someone may have bought it to restore without knowing what they are getting into and it would decompose away. Glad it went into the right hands!

Thats good! You are in the UK, this is a RHD model? You can see where the market is on local sites there, it doesn’t follow the north american market, but I am pretty sure there has been an upstick in prices recently.

Was it plugged in the last 4 years? Iif not the battery bricked.

Are you sure it sold? If it did it’s possible it’s as a result of what happend on BaT today. If it didn’t, perhaps the owner just pulled the listing from ebay after he saw what happend on BaT today…

Handles high winds, and high speed on the hw, wont snap off, gets lots of smiles and thumbs ups!!!

Snapplate instead.

I have no idea whats involved so I shot from the hip with my message, but just wanted to make sure Matteni reaches out to the pro’s for the repair. With only 1 sheet it just seems excessive, but if a couple of the pros confirm, thats what it’s going to be.

Have you asked Carl to fly out and do the repair in the field? Did they quote you the 10k for sheet repair, or someone else quoted it?

Is it going to Puerto Rico?

Bid to 99.5k, RNM. Moral of the story is don’t try to sell a wrapped car? Pull the wrap off before listing. If anyone want’s the owners contact info, I have it. Not sure if he is on this forum.

Wheel brand and size?

If Deedwest doesn’t know, we’ll have to ask Elon if he remembers.

Since those sites don’t have cars currently for sale, they would look at recently sold ones that are logged. Auction sites represent true street values, as opposed to ‘asking price’ by dealers of cars sitting on lots. So in theory you should get full street value at time of loss, but it could...

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2010-tesla-roadster-16/ BaT, let’s see.

If you can afford a ‘21 MS, you can also afford the original Roadster. Scratch the itch!

Last pic on BaT. This is the original paint they couldn’t match. That is what totalled it.

Wrap is good for protecting/preserving the paint as well. The BaT car was white, so it was repainted red. I think they had original colour and damage puc in the post. Going from memory here.

So to update on this. Not sure how my reading at 12,000km (7500mi) at the SC was 7/32... Since I took the tires off today, I have exactly 30,000km (18,750mi), and the reading we got today on the summer factory tires is 7/32 all around. So far the tires have performed flawlessly.

If you look at that BaT auction, that car was supposedly totalled due to the front bumper not being able to be painted to match the rest of the car. It’s all in the comments. So that was a ‘technically’ totalled car. Making the bidders, including the buyer treating it like it was never totalled...

What if it’s just the lighting playing tricks? SS can look that way in the right lighting conditions, it’s very much a hairline aluminum or brished look, it doesn’t reflect like chrome. The reflection in the window doesn’t appear to reflect a matte finish. Has anyone seen this in person to...

Nothing wrong with a 2005 ford example. Produced just over 4000 units. Not sure how either of the stats below is a negative for the 1st gen roadster. If they keep the second gen to half the 1st gen production, we can see similar markups to the 2017 gt. Haven’t heard anything about production...

What everyone above said! This is becoming more of a car for someone with an unlimited budget, the opposite of a limited budget. However… - IF he has lots of time (you said retired) - IF he has some techical ability and willingness to do repairs and services his own vehicle. - IF he really...

Not exactly. Would have been like saying get the P1. But point made not the less.

Is it actually open? Latest I saw was Srptember update, still being built.

is this sold?

Whats the out of court settlement about? If you occupied grandfathered legally, every owner had insurance on the vehicle, nothing comes back to the owner of the shop is the way I see it. So long as it’s an accident. Falling asleep with a cigar in your hand is an accident, regardless of if it’s...

Now thats a ‘state of the art’ facility!

Reserve not met earlier today on ebay, got to 82,500 and was reposted again just now on ebay.

Keep it positive and take it easy. I’m glad you weren’t just discharged with the stitches, a serious accident requires a detailed examination, glad they found it right away to avoid more potential damage.

If the airbags went off in the X5, at what speed did he hit you with that 5000lbs vehicle? Hallmark careless driving, road is dry… I can guess it’s distracted driving with 95% probability, cell phone usage at 85% probability. My wife got hit in our ‘20 Y 2 weeks ago, woman playing on the phone…...

You walking away is all that matters, car is replaceable/repairable, head not so much. Make sure you get checked well, seems like a serious impact and you made contact with something, so be on the lookout for internal bleeding. Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Yikes! Thats your ride? Happend to you? Hope everyone made it out OK.

VIN? Did this just happen?

Wow, didn’t know this was possible on the Y! Does your heated steering work? (Did you have heated steering prior to uograding the steering wheel?)

Is this going to be the first RWB roadster? The wheels are already out 2”.

If I had to guess CNC? Where in Canada are you?

Or do an alignment more often.

I care!

The factory 21” tires are summer performance tires for an EV. Has anyone teviewed how well does say a michelin pilot sport 4S (which is available in sizes that work now) compare. Or perhaps the soon to be released michelin pilot sport EV?

You guys got this whole thing wrong…

Took 2 seconds to find this ... They were indeed 'aero' caps to give it the bad ass look. You can see the wheels in the below link. https://driveteslacanada.ca/cybertruck/heres-what-the-tesla-cybertruck-wheels-look-like-without-aero-covers/

Did any of your airbags pop? If I had to guess, totalled. Rear end damage doesn’t seem as serious as the front end tree damage. My vehicle had way less damage when it got damaged, but the calculation is cost to repair, and this is an expensive vehicle, leaving lots of room for repair costs...

Awesome video, it didn’t flip over or blow up! Looking good!!!

Pretty sure the launched wheels had aero hubs over them, I’m going off memory so could be totally wrong, so these could be the wheels look like underneath? Maybe this is a fake cybertruck, one with a Lada engine?

This works great unless the fire is caused by the vehicle, or if it catches on fire. I can picture a vehicle driving erratically down the street trying to extinguish itself :|

According to this article Gruber lost 3 himself “Talking to each of you, I am again reminded how cherished these cars are, how much they meant to you, and what a special place they carve out in automotive history. You all have my sincerest apologies and I feel your pain, having lost three in...

Look at another post +-5 posts from this one, a request for a museum vehicle. #23 is also on display at a museum now, there is a post on that as well. We are already there….

The best candidate would be a bricked roadster that is waiting for a battery. If it was an exibit from November - March, most roadster in your area would be in winter storage so you would have more options. Since the display is March - November, thats the driving season and it’s a tall order to...

First thing that popped into my mind is the fight with insurance everyone will have now. If purchase price was 40k, whats the coverage on the vehicles, and how does the corporate insurance at the location factor into this. Not sure it’s like a house where you can have ‘total replacement value’...
