Mike Maloney's roadster totalled

[TEG]

What is left going on eBay:
Tesla : Roadster Convertible in Tesla | eBay Motors
Badly damaged #963 2.5 Sport Salt Lake

#963 was perhaps the first of the 2.5s... (Or maybe the last of the 2.25s...) Build right at the transition from 2.0 to 2.5.

#941 & above are 2.5's

Under $16K. Wonder if there's enough parts to make it worthwhile. The clear coat CF rear wing looks undamaged ($1700). Motor is probably OK, too.

The rear diffuser is a 2.0, so definitely not a full fledged 2.5.

The poor Salvage roadster suddenly regained his driver side front wheel, price now $21,900 from the same seller in Utah

It looks like someone has been hacking away with a welder or so? Buyer beware!
I would not be surprised if in a couple weeks we see an ad for an "as new" "under 12k miles" Roadster for just under $50k, hopefully still showing its Salvage title and the original VIN 5YJRE1A34A1000963 as can be seen in the Ebay ads.

I should say that I have nothing against Salvage cars - in fact, in 2004 I bought a Salvage 2002 Prius with 12k miles and fixed it, then drove it happily for many years - but that car was sold without repaired frame damage and I could drive it before buying...

Now back to $14.9 k.

I asked the seller if he were willing to sell the rear wing separately and he was not.

Ebay listing confusion

Now back to $14.9 k.

No, it seems that the original price (which was 15,900) is no longer showing. That old listing was re-listed two more times for 14,900 and now it is re-listed for 20,900 but showing the same information as the other ad by the same Ebay user (wreckedcarsforsale) as you will find through my earlier link, still listing the car for 21,900.

Here is one of the original re-listings for 14,900: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tesla-Roadster/200894844064
It looks like both ads (for the same car) ended and are no longer re-listed, so they probably found an interested buyer.
