Roadster History Europe/APAC

Oh what a sad fate. No, sorry, I don't know any sources for battery replacement/repair in Europe.

 

[LeoNordic]

Check this thread. Could be worth contacting the mentioned European companies that work on Roadsters.

They might have knowledge of ”crashed cars” with functional batteries or other alternatives.

As I recall, I had found it much easier to find info on Roadsters registered in Norway compared to Denmark, so I had them listed as Norway if they had been in Norway at some point in time.
For instance, they could be in Denmark right now, but I still listed them as Norway since that was the only info I could find.

Also, it has been a long time since I had done that 'research', so it is possibly stale/dated information now.

When looking for information on Danish cars there are several resources, some easier than others There is, of course, the official page of the Treasury department (difficult to use), and then there is a site such as nrpla.de - Tesla Roadster search: Nrpla.de - Find dit køretøj hurtigt - here you can see all the Roadsters (if they have been entered correctly to the system) that have ever been registered in Denmark. A total of 56.

Thanks for that. I checked my list and I had all of them associated with Denmark (including Numberplates which I didn't post.)
Your list seems complete as I didn't find any Roadsters spotted in Denmark which are not in that list.

I did find some online resources to look up things, but I hesitate to post them because sometimes they get shut down if they are too well known.

The ones you had listed as no longer registered... I had no idea. I had only been tracking "been seen there at some point", but no idea if they were "retired" for some reason.
So, I don't know if those were sold to another country, or perhaps wrecked and written off and no longer in service.

User R912 on this forum was nice to give us some information about some of those Roadsters here:
Roadster History Europe/APAC
SFZRE2B17B3000912 Alive and well in Denmark
SFZRE2B13A3000369 Alive and well in Denmark
SFZRE2B39B3000783 Supposedly alive in Denmark, but your list shows as not regged... (Maybe very recently unregistered?)
SFZRE2B36A3000450 Norway->Denmark... Not registered because battery is bricked waiting for repair

 

[TEG]

Also, by the way, I had seen this pictures of a Roadster in Denmark which I think was using "dealer" plates, so I couldn't figure out which one it was:

 

[TEG]

Also, rns-e, you list this as not yet registered:
SFZRE2B1XC3000985
But here it shows as registered:
HW50382 - Nummerplader og registreringsnumre fra Motorregisteret

SFZRE2B39B3000783 is still in Denmark, but deregistered. Sold new in Denmark as well.

 

[TEG]

OK, I heard now it is another with bricked battery waiting for a replacement.

 

[R912]

Is it another one with bricked battery waiting for replacement?

Yup. It was the owners fault, it was in storage with no charge resulting in a bricked battery. Will be back on the road again.

It's on the list I wrote, second to last on currently registred It's should not be under not yet registrered.

Yes, BF 5069 is a dealerplate. Don't know the vin on that.

 

[TEG]

It's on the list I wrote, second to last on currently registred

OK, it is on your list twice... As both registered and "not yet registered".

I bought SFZRE2B35C3000989 about two months ago here in Norway. It has been in the country since 2012, I think. You had some question mark next to the VIN in your list. Hope this helps.

How many Roadsters were originally sold in China? I didn't think there were any but I was recently contacted by an owner there looking for an adapter that worked with the GB/T charging standard.

 

[TEG]

I don't think so either. I heard about one that was gray markeded there to be picked apart and studied.
Also there was a connection with motor manufacturing in Taiwan and maybe they got one there.

None officially. Gray market supposedly 10+.

 

[TEG]

I had this one as maybe going to China:

5YJRE1A3XA1001146 - Very Orange, Exterior Carbon

Also, some Roadsters were shipped to Pusan China with a final destination listed as Abu Dhabi, so maybe just passed through.

2008 VP16-VP18 made in UK:

SFZRE11B683900018 VP18 Radiant Red (Converted to Brabus - painted white) Switzerland / Reg 5-26-2008 -> Norway
They then started to "make" some VPs in USA instead of UK. VP19 was a USA "made" car.

My understanding is that VP19 ended up in the UK and EU as one of the first EU cars as a “Marketing Car.” It was registered in the UK (even with the left side steering wheel) and later brought back to the US by its' original owner.

This is a great list @TEG!

Do you have any information about VIN#2500? Where it is located right now?
