Email me: [email protected]

A dirty Roadster party.

I'm a serious seller. It's taken me 6 months to mentally prepare, but I'm ready to part ways with the Roadster.

Asking Price: $65,000

A Complete Ownership Overview.

After 5 years and 31,000 miles, I'm selling my 2011 Roadster 2.5. I've been eyeing a P90D to enjoy before taking delivery of Model 3 in a few years. I live in Atlanta and the car is in for annual service at the Marietta, Georgia store. A Photostream highlighting Roadster 1172's spectacular...

Atlanta, Georgia We're building a 21st century city.

Tesla Roadster OEM Headlight Set I took delivery of my Tesla Roadster 2.5 in May 2011 and replaced the stock headlights with Xenon HIDs in March 2012. The original headlights are in nearly new condition and have been stored in a climate controlled area in their Tesla Motors boxes. List...

Our Dodge Dually next to my Roadster at work. The Dodge is used to pull our horse trailer and shared with friends when they need to haul or tow things.

Based on what my service team in Atlanta told me; there are only a handful of Double-din's left. He pretty much told me I better upgrade sooner than later.

Nigel, I realize I'm a few years late; but I just received mine from the same eBay seller. They look great. However, I spent approximately 2 hours with my Dremel grinding down the back of the carbon fiber door handle to ensure a snug fit against against the door.

We are experiencing the same thing in Atlanta. The MS owners I've met (15 out of the 70-80 in Atlanta) are fantastic and really into Tesla. However, on too many occasions I've pulled up next to a MS and I get a look from them like I'm from another world. I don't understand the lack of...

Jim Cramer and David Faber were very positive this morning about Solar City and Tesla Motors. Jim made comments about his children encouraging him to install solar panels on the family home, how amazing Model S and the buying experience is. He said something about how we need to listen to our...

And/Or Tesla's PR department.

Bonnie, I'm envious there are so many HPCs along your travel routes. We are sorely lacking a high-powered EV charging network in the southeast. You're right on about elevation changes. This morning we drove from Highlands, NC to Atlanta; 112 miles. For the first 12 miles, we lost 2,900 feet of...

In my first few months as an owner, I made a similar mistake 200 miles from home. It was not my proudest moment. I carry the spare connector and the "short and sweet" J.1772 connector at all times. Everything is secured with a piece of Velcro strap connected to the left platform. The Velcro and...

The tires were almost as tall as the Roadster.

The vanity plate is SOLDVSI. Any ideas as to the meaning? VSI is the ticker symbol for Vitamin Shoppe; maybe he sold a franchise and/or the stock.

Henry, I received mine and tested it this morning for free using a Clipper Creek charger powered by the sun; it worked perfectly. Beautifully designed and super cool. Thank you very much.

I use my electric leaf blower to dry off the Roadster after washing. I took my car to a "professional detailer" at my office last year and he left swirl marks in the clear coat. After repairing the damage, I'm paranoid about drying off the car; even using the towels I bought from Griots. It does...

Monthly board is roughly $650; 1/2 goes to food. Add in training, vets and misc and she's out of pocket $1,200 a month. Competitions also add to the overall expense. Based on what I wash off my boots, clothing and exposed skin every time I'm around horses, his carbon footprint is much larger...

Today in Georgia with my girlfriends horse, William. He weighs around 1300lbs (600kg) and is 14.1 hands.

I like how your UMC drops from the ceiling. Does it retract when not in use?

I was told she needed a little help, but it was well worth it. She was very excited to ride in the Roadster; look at those Tesla grins.

I bought a set last July and never used them. Email me and I'll send you a picture: [email protected]

You have to love Atlanta. One of the few cities one can dine at The Palm Restaurant and valet next to a BMW and a jacked up truck.

As a graduation gift; a client's son took my Roadster to Prom. He is now a very popular kid!

I'm up and running. Installation was easy; I placed the antenna on the back window. Thanks to NigelM for recommending the App, DSM363 for what to do at AT&T (the guys at AT&T were more excited than I was about the project), and markwj and OVMS team for creating the device and email assistance...

Feel free to use the 220/40 at my house if you're in Buckhead.

I was in PVB on 20 April and drove by his office building. The parking lot was vacant except for a Roadster in the same spot I last saw it in December. I'll have my brother snap a photo of it.

They loved it and couldn't stop talking about it during dinner. They were blown away by the styling, technology and the vision of Elon Musk and TM. I think we'll see an S and X reservation soon. On a personal note, I'm sold on Sarasota. I never thought I would be drawn to FL; I like the west...

Ha! The GC who built my house recommended a guy he uses for interior/exterior work. He's my age; 36, and very talented. I lent him the Tesla for an afternoon and he became my new best friend. He brought in a 4-man paint crew and they treated our home like it was their own.

The epoxy is from Sherwin Williams. The project started out simply enough; epoxy the floors. It took on a life of it's own once the crew started to implement their ideas. I was lucky to find an experienced and creative group of painters.

I'm going to keep it super clean and streamlined. Everything except for my drill press and table saw/dust collector will be stored in tall cabinets lining the back wall. The drawers are for the master closet he built us.

We hired a painter to freshen up our garage. Once he saw the Roadster and had a chance to drive it, he was inspired to create a very cool space to house our Roadster and future Tesla's. Tesla Motors helped out with the paint color for the doors and the final product was unveiled last night. He...

I'm heading down from Atlanta and bringing a few guests who live in Sarasota. It will be their first time seeing a Tesla up close and I trust we'll have new fans and at least 1 potential buyer.

Earth Day Another angle. I wish I could have been there. My Roadster has been lent out a lot recently. It will be in another parade this weekend driven by a member of the EV Club of the South.

I found number 1043 in Greenwich, CT on 10 April outside of my hotel (Delamar Greenwich Harbor / 500 Steamboat RD). Apologies for the horrible picture of such a beautiful car; I had a few too many Manhattan's in me. I didn't have a chance to meet the owner, but was told he is a regular at the...

What is the plan for a 2012 rally? I'm thinking of heading up from Atlanta.

I'm heading up to a dealer in Alpharetta, GA this weekend to check out the quad. This will be great for the farm; the horses won't get spooked.

The reservations are not transferable; it's listed in your Model S reservation agreement. In late 2010, I considered reserving 10 Model S's with sequnce numbers below 4,000. One could view a low reservation number as a commodity. My strategy was to sell each reservation at a premium once the S...

I drilled a few holes in my mats to match the clips attached to the floor of my Roadster; the mats do not slip. For drivers and passengers wearing high heels, the mats can be a little slippery when new.

Rubber floor mats from Sector 111.

I snapped these today in North Atlanta. Staples is using 3 Electric Trucks in the Atlanta area. I spoke with the driver and the cost is around $190,000 and he gets 70-80 miles of range before it's time to recharge.

I used 56kWh. I should send a check to Wells.

According to my sources in PVB and based on my visit to the company HQ; he spent a fortune building the facility (horrible location) and on the art inside. Apparently, he has one of the largest collections of art from renowned Florida artists. My brother drove by the bulding the other day and...

Hello. There are 11 Roadster owners in Atlanta. I'm not sure how many S/X reservation holders there are; I personally know 3.

I know of this guy. He was nice enough to let me charge during my 380 mile trip from Atlanta to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL last December. He installed a NEMA 14-50 outside of his office to charge his Tesla.
