    2022 Roadster Roundup (for original Roadsters)

    Hey, just so everyone is aware, the Malibu Country Mart is extremely negative on any car clubs in their parking lots. They have resorted to valet ONLY parking all day on Sundays now to keep everyone from showing up. This is on a Saturday, so may be OK, but beware I guess - they don't seem to be...

    FS: Used Roadster LED taillights from Bespoke51/TransForged

    I purchased these back in 2019 and had them on my Roadster since then, but recently changed back to the original taillights. These worked well for most of the time, but recently I noticed some of the LEDs are not lighting any more. If anyone is interested in these in order to repair, use as...

    Caution - Annual Service - Car power-down - GPS issue

    @slcasner - piece of cake, took 15 minutes - and ran it on Windows 10 under VMware on a MacBook, so that works as well. Thanks for the detailed instructions. On the way back to you. Thanks so much!

    Roadster Parts for Sale Listings

    Used set of tires, date code of 2013, so would be good for tearing up the track, but not everyday use on the street. Looking for local pickup only in Moorpark, CA. Message me here, but this is my CL ad for more detail and measurement pictures...

    Caution - Annual Service - Car power-down - GPS issue

    @slcasner - Steve, reviving this thread as I have not had the issue before, but now I do. I changed out my 12V battery, and must have taken my time doing it, because now my date is incorrect. Initially it was something like Oct 2002, but when I was in my car yesterday it was July 30th...

    How is the condition - what color - does it have the exposed carbon fiber panels like my hood pictured to the left? Not many come up, so not sure on value.

    A Tesla Roadster hood? Because this is the area for that - not Model S3XY hoods, in case that is what you have.

    That's what happens when you take a break from the site for a few months. Would love to get a few hats but checking if it's too late now. If not, I'll pick out colors, shield, wording - and let me know how to pay.

    Interesting. I guess it would be obvious - but even with the lettering on mine the Roadster specialists at the Fremont factory (back when they had them) still screwed up all 4 of mine.

    Paint Armor

    Very nice of you - thanks for the offer! Not sure I'm ready just yet, but hey when you come this way, if you need a charge (40 amps) in my garage, just let me know when. If so, I could then get a good look at the work on your car. Would be fun to chat again.

    Does the inside lip of the wheel, under the car, have a stamping like the 2.5 wheels (I posted a picture above)?

    Paint Armor

    That looks great! I have been thinking about pulling off the factory stuff and getting this done. We'll have to meet up sometime so I can look over your car carefully. I would rather go to a shop that has already done it, even if Tustin is 85 miles from my house.

    How Many Roadsters are Left?

    It would take a ton of time to put together a parts list, but I could imagine the value of the parts could be twice the asking price. However, there is a lot of effort in pulling everything apart carefully, packing, shipping, covering shipping costs, etc. It would also take a few years to sell...

    As we here know, it's 10 times easier to get in the car without the top on. I brought the soft top with me, but removed it prior to them getting in and driving. We are used to getting in and out of the car, but it definitely took Jay a bit of effort to get in. He's not quite as flexible these...

    Cottonwood, thanks for supplying the pictures and the option to purchase. I gotta say, I'm surprised that Tesla offered you such a good price on it. There are some out there in the $38K to $40K price, running perfectly fine, to take the dive into trying to revive this. I don't know enough about...

    Yeah, I thought it was a bit high as well, but hey you never know. I mean I don't think I have lost much at all in 7 years of ownership - paid $70K. So they definitely have not depreciated as much recently compared to most other cars, so the rarity is helping. I have 34,000 miles and the CAC is...

    Yes, I had the standard wheels and no exposed carbon fiber body parts. It was a VERY expensive upgrade on their website, which I purchased, and it included installation. I kept a screen shot of the options on their website because I knew they would go away. Some of the pictures are of the...

    Yep he does need to take that into consideration. Here in California you pay the tax on the full price of the new car no matter what your trade value was. I just hate to see Tesla take another Roadster and put it out back to rot like others I have seen.
  29. AltPowr

    How Many Roadsters are Left?

    Would be interesting to see pictures, color, options, mileage, etc. Depending on price, I could pick it up as a spare and part it out to others here, or it could possibly be of good use for one of the shops - Gruber, Executive, or Medlock. But see what people here could possibly do first.

    Found this text posted somewhere here over the years regarding the Sport option: Roadster Sport The Roadster Sport is the first derivative of Tesla’s proprietary, patented powertrain. The car accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, compared to 3.9 seconds for the standard Roadster. You can...

    I didn't answer your question - I really don't know the difference in value these days for a Sport version. If I recall it may have been about $10K-$20K more when new?

    Behind-the-Scenes from a TMC Member's Appearance on Jay Leno's Garage

    When I was buying mine in 2013 I did not worry about Sport versus non-Sport - it was not a priority for me - I wanted color and condition as my first priorities. I looked at maybe 10-12 cars in person - actually flying from the West coast to the East coast to see one - before I found the right...

    I was waiting to see how long it would be before someone noticed it. You and I have them on the wrong side of the car. When Tesla installed them I noticed it was wrong and told them, and even pointed out the engraved markings on the inside rim. I just took a picture - it shows LH and RH on the...

    Does yours have all of the exposed carbon fiber panels on the exterior and interior? If so, then yours is the ONE. See above, I added those options to mine at the Fremont factory later.

    The prices are all over the map. One just sold on Bring A Trailer for $52K with 61K miles. Others have sold there between $38K and $65K, however Bring A Trailer is not really the best place to sell an EV - mostly die hard fans of older original cars. I follow their site all the time, but for gas...

    Correct - it's in Burbank. When he is driving the cars in his show it's the streets close by his place as well. It's not open to the public - so if you ever get an invite somehow, take it.

    Really? I didn't know that! Well this is not that one, I'm afraid. When I purchased this in 2013, I lived close to the Fremont factory where they had several Roadster trained techs at the time from the original San Carlos assembly building for the Roadsters. So when purchasing, my intention was...

    Well, I'm hoping I did OK for our family of Roadster owners, but my car VIN1094 and I are on the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage this week, on Wednesday, July 8, at 7pm Pacific Time on CNBC. Here is a preview they just posted:

    Do you wash the car or drive in the rain? Just trying to see how long mine will last - I have only washed the car once about 6 years ago. These days I wipe it down with a spray wash after each time I drive it, since it's not a daily driver. I was assuming that the LEDs going out may be because...

    Oh hey, yeah you are very close. Before all of this Covid stuff we used to drive up that way a few times each summer. There is a car show I take my 1932 Roadster to in Pismo Beach each year as well, but that is quite a bit farther. Yes, we'll have to meet up one day - but will take my 2010...

    Correct, amber is not required for turn signals, but they look cooler, so I want them. I remember back in the early 1980s I paid a fortune to swap out my Porsche 911 rear lenses (all red) for European ones (with amber signals). But it definitely looked different from the rest on the road.

    Well, I hope I don't embarrass myself. I was nervous as hell, so may have answered some questions incorrectly because I didn't want a pause in filming and they didn't prepare me for the questions they asked, but I'm sure they will cut down the segment from the 30-45 minute interview we filmed...
