Lots of "concept cars"... https://www.venturi.com/fr/concept-car/ https://www.topspeed.com/cars/venturi/index234.html

Yep, I bet the Tesla employees have like demo Tidal accounts so they don't have to stare at those "nags" (advertisements) like the rest of us !

And then there is #187 "TeslaFerrari..."

Not all of them are still in SB, but in my notes, I had observed these there before: #82 #340 #636 #637 #997 #1011 #1180 #1441

At least that fancy finished set has both sides, and isn't all one direction like on many Roadsters.

Yeah, I was thinking about the tire swap if the unidirectional tread is wrong. There may be difference of opinion as to the "preferred" spin direction.

Purdy wheels... But the fronts need to be swapped left/right so they have the right spoke spin orientation...

I was using up some free supercharging credits I had left from referring 4 people to buy Teslas. Sadly, I didn't get nearly enough for a free Roadster! In hindsight, I should have started a youtube channel "back in the day..."

Resurrecting my own thread... My 2018 Model 3 went for another road trip on its' 4th birthday. I drove it out from SF bay area to south central Utah, vising national parks and enjoying the amazing roads there. Some pictures from the trip: Thanks to all the people at Tesla who helped...

Ouch!

What about Kettleman City? I guess it is about 28 miles away, but maybe you could do it creeping at 30mph

Typically the thieves are driving rental cars with stolen plates on them. They seem to rent for at least a few weeks and go to the trouble of dark tinting the rental car windows before heading out on their daily foray around the bay area. It is basically their "job" to just keep doing this...

^^^ Contrary to listing saying "Jet Black", this has "Obsidian black" paint, and interior is "saddle" not "beige"...

OK I fixed it - it seems it picked up the "Sport" from the wrong link you had. The hyperlink was pointing to some listing for #774, not #589...

#589 used to be silver, but they repainted it black now. From an old listing: Along with the new black paint, it looks like they got new forged wheels for it. (The old listing above shows it originally had cast wheels.)

I thought the matte gray was a wrap... (I collect Roadster photos... In hindsight, I should have bought a Roadster or some TSLA stock! )

It looks like a 2.0 sport to me. The transition from 2.0 to 2.5 started around VIN #964 You seem to have 1.5/2.0 style front/rear bumpers not the 2.5 versions.

A 2.25 is just a 2.0 that was upgraded to (mostly) 2.5 specs. The most obvious sign would be the newer front and rear bumpers. A more thorough conversion would include changing the single DIN dash to double DIN. (Although there are a small number of actual 2.5s with single DIN, the double DIN...

VIN: #253 https://carsandbids.com/auctions/36qVNAkB/2008-tesla-roadster

So... The cars look correct there (pictures seem to match VIN / descriptions, etc.) but I can't vouch if the listings are current. Some web sites keep old listings up long after cars are sold. So better inquire before getting your hopes up, and as usual be very careful with any "buy over the...

Looks legit to me.

"Dieses Fahrzeug ist nicht mehr verfügbar" = "This vehicle is no longer available"

^^^ The listing mistakenly (?) says Jet Black...

Prius' are targeted for their catalytic converters... https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Catalytic-converter-thefts-are-surging-across-the-15977063.php

^^^ VIN #1117...

From what little I know on that - not many. Very few. You have to be a little careful to discount all the early SFZRE VINs in EPs/VPs/Founders' and early Sig100s which were showing as made in Europe but most were always intended to end up in USA. There are also some later SFZRE VINs made for...

@CM_007 FYI ^^^

Yeah, channel down the middle is a non-stock element.

^^^ Would these anti-viral pills be effective against a wide variety of viruses? Do they have any notable side effects? Disrupting any 'normal' body functions?

Are those characteristics you want in a business partner? :confused:

What an odd world we are in where people post about sewage monitoring in an electric car forum!

How much testing are they doing in hospitals to check Omicron vs Delta? I assume the percent of people in hospitals on ventilators would tend to skew more towards Delta compared to just "anyone who caught some form of COVID recently." (which is probably predominantly Omicron.) Did we just...

"Booster" is for dual motor cars only, right? Not for RWD even with 980 motor.

^^^ Twilight Blue hiding under that wrap...

I notice that scale starts at 'normal' and goes to various degrees of overweight. (No country ranks as 'underweight?') The countries I see in the 'normal' category I associate with food scarcity. It is scary to think that we need malnourished people to bring the overall curve more into a...

Anyone know the VIN on this one? I am not sure... (Note, mixed up wheel rotation... "Spoke spin" is different back to front. )

I think that may be North American production Roadster #841... Sort of an oddball from the VIN pool. I think perhaps considered a prototype first unit for "official" sale into Australia.

Yeah, I just had one other grainy sighting photo of it in a parking garage. As far as I can tell it has always been in southern California.
