Carbon fiber interior pieces???

[shrink]

Wow. Great work. What's the status of the clear coat carbon fiber Roadster? It's beautifully unique and simply jaw dropping. Is it still running and in good condition?

The parts are real, I made a few of them.

Great job . I wish I had just 1% of your skills to customize some part of my car ...

Since we seem to be having a carbon roadster fest here, have some more photo contributions:

I took several of those photos, the last one was taken at Fremont, I was there somewhere. If I am correct there is only one or two of the rear diffusers due to the production cost being near $10,000

Those have to be fake. You can actually buy carbon fiber door handles, yet that's the one piece they didn't "upgrade" on the door? Doesn't pass the sniff test.

I had solid CF door pulls on my Roadster...really liked them...it was one of the few pieces that John @ Carbon One didn't stick me on.

That rear diffuser is really cool....kinda makes me wish I didn't sell ol' #1137

Nice brakes (looks like from Tesla's big brake project) and functional diffuster (what I always had in mind that fits the car), and sweet job on the seats.

Curious what else Tesla had that never made it to the public hands like the Sport locking diff... Too bad, all this stuff are really nice add-ons.

That CF 5 element rear diffuser looks quite similar in functionality as the 3 element F1 inspired diffuser that a former Tesla owner had custom made sometime back:

F1 inspired parts anyone?
Hi All from Oxford, England, UK - F1 inspired parts anyone?

I saw another CF diffuser on a glacier blue Roadster at Tesla HQ a while back. So I think the 2nd one did get installed / used.

The all carbon Roadster has moved around the Country with its' owner, but I think is in Orange County (SoCal) these days. I am surprised we don't see photos of it showing up on the exotic spotter sites. I guess the owner mainly uses it for the same commute.
The big brake kit works really well. It has a lot of suspension customization too. But in the end, I think there wasn't a good costs/benefits to put any of that into production. It would have been hideously expensive to make them in the small volumes that would be the possible market of Roadster owners wanting performance upgrades.
