    Took delivery of a 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport (2.0) with the 3.0 Battery upgrade a few weeks ago. Really appreciate all of the help from @X.l.r.8 @arijaycomet @hcsharp @NomoC8 @ModelS for your help and/or accessories! The weather has been decent the past two weeks in Kansas so I've been able to take it out a few times. Also secured "ROADZTR" for my license plate.

    I'll be driving it every chance I get until it gets cold and then I'll stick with my new Model 3, S and X until the spring!

    Love this forum, especially when I compare the vibe to Rennlist in my Porsche days. Very welcoming and non-judging! I need to also set up some Tesla events in KC now that I have the full lineup!

    Well I am here to judge you. My judgment: You have excellent taste! Congrats and enjoy. You need to arrange a full-lineup pic soon.

    It gets way too cold in Kansas. This Roadster really should live in Texas...;)

    Good choice. It’s a well finished car and I’m sure it’s goung to get all the more care. Lucky car. And your right about this forum, it’s open discussion without someone telling you what you should do with your own car. (Yes I’m a rennllister too)

    Would you mind sharing what you paid and more details like miles and condition? I am looking at buying one locally that is one owner and he's had it since 2010 with only 25k miles on it.

    LOL - I used to live in Dallas and agree. If I were down there I'm not sure if it would ever get "put away" for the winter!

    Will do! I take delivery of my Model S P100D on November 12th. Of course, getting them all in once place is a little tricky as I have an offsite garage for two of them.
