    I sold this car when it was new... and was desperately trying to buy it from the owner for our inventory. Sadly, it was bricked by the time they agreed to sell it to us :(

    COVID-19 IMPACT

    Appreciate the mention. We're in a holding pattern on purchases at the moment - want to see if sales pick up post-stimulus before we add more than we can sell. We also only purchase US vehicles.

    maintenance costs each year ?

    I find this to be one of the coolest attributes to the Roadster. The modular design allows one to easily upgrade to something better in the future. Hopefully Tesla will make upgradeable parts for interested parties and offer them for sale.

    maintenance costs each year ?

    I was using the 15,000 mile example for the energy usage calculation which is shown on the EPA labels within Monroney Labels affixed to all new cars. If you did it based on 12,000 miles year it would be ($0.03/mi x 12,000) + $599 = $959
