See Roadster in real life

[MaxPowers]

You'll be able to see the roadster at Petersen Automotive Museum in Las Angeles. I don't know if it's worth the 14 hour drive just to see it in real life. Maybe if I got a ride in it. How far would you drive just to see it in real life?

Got to see Cybertruck there last year and am going to see Roadster there this weekend!

At the Peterson...words fail to describe...

wow!!

 

[aerodyne]

wow!!

Like 4 other visitors around the car there. I asked the docent why, and she said, "We didn't advertise"

I asked if I should show up for the later private viewing and was told "No, you picked the absolute best time"

I am one of the many on the Plaid/refresh thread going nuts over our 6 month delay. I can only imagine how you guys feel. At least you know you are getting a yoke..

Here is a walk around I did before it got crowded. Enjoy!

Stunning! Did you get a good sense of its dimensions? Is it closer to Model 3 size, or Model S size?

do the doors even open, looks like no panel gap

That's great. I don't know why but seems like Californian's get to have all the fun.

Wanted to return here to say thanks. I would have never know about this if I didn't see your post. It was about a 2 hour drive for me, but I finally got to see this beast in person. Absoluteley gorgeous vehicle! More impressive in person than all of the pictures that I have seen. It was actually larger in appearance when standing next to it than I thought that it would be. I still don't know how comfortable my 6'3" self will be in it though. Great touch at Petersen, as they positioned the Roadster right around the corner from a Bugatti that claimed the previous production car speed record at 253mph . I attached an image of the placard they had describing the Roadster.

It’s 77” wide — same as the S — and 14” shorter in length than the Model 3. And yes, I brought a laser tape measure to the museum with me to get these numbers.

I'm so jealous. Glad you got to see it in real life.

That's interesting, I wouldn't have suspected that it would be shorter than M3.

Now cars have already gone over 300 mph.
