Don’t know the story (fire AND flood damage), but #651 (5YJRE1A1XA1000651) popped up three days ago on Copart in Florida: https://www.copart.com/lot/61960422/2010-tesla-roadster-fl-punta-gorda-south

This Roadster is sitting at Pete's shop. He posted recent video not to long ago BG Roadster. Don't think Pete's made the determination it's totaled yet.

VINs I'm aware that were totaled this year: #0027 on IAA auction site, #106 bent bent from running over rip rap, #303, and 894. Few lighting greens were totaled but not aware of the vins #.

I missed one, #1384 is now a parts car for CM_007. It hit a pole according to Carl. Slow day at the office so figured I update this list a little today.

CM_007 purchased this car as a parts car the VIN is #1009.

We purchased 1009, which looks nearly the same as this VIN 651. The same color, with different wheels, and 2.0 vs2.5 I don't see it on Copart; maybe it sold already. 1009 Is a rusty mess from the salt water. The pack was full of salt water also. I needed the front end, fenders, hood, and bumper grill headlights. PEM Motor Trans suspension and none of the electronics are good. 651 will be similar and won't pencil out if it sells for over 20k. What 651 has to offer is probably the same as 1009. That forklift photo scares me just by looking at it, and I am driving it. They loaded 1009 with a forklift back bumper facing forward and right over the cab on the semi-truck. The only way to get it off was this or a crane. My 5000LB forklift is at its counterweight limit in this photo.

Correction, read earlier VP 27 is getting restored by Grapthar88. We need to meet up locally once it's restored sir and drive around DC.

I thought #651 was Jet Black, not Glacier Blue...

Nice catch; it is black; it just left here, now I am curious about that listing.

Nak posted a video from FB Roadster Owners page. Part cars of wrecked Roadsters. Here are the VINS from that video #617, 158, 1421, 1426, 438 and 917 and 501. Apologize for the duplication if I vin has been listed twice in here.

I think the Glaser Blue is vin 1089. It would be nice to ID them all for this thread. @TEG or @DeedWest, any info on these fallen soldiers?

Ask Mel he went there. I may drive out there when nice to confirm. Darn shame ask me.

I resemble that remark, though still in limbo with Ins Co . . .

@Medlock&Sons @drewski – is this #1038 finally being prepped for surgery?

Yes, it is! As bad as it looks, it still ran and drove when it arrived.
We charged the pack, pulled the BMB'z, and pulled the service disconnect; amazingly, it still shows a 70% charge after a year.

We started the repairs with the mechanical parts first. Roadsters do not die here; we save them.

We need more Roadster work. We are finally getting through the backlog of cars. At one point, we had 57 of them here; we have been working 6-7 days a week to catch up. Once we complete five more, we can offer a 45- to 60-day turnaround for most jobs. Unless they are like 1038, and those will be a smidgen longer.

 

[Roadster]

Yes, it is!
