$10,500 US I only had authorization for 10k, it wasn’t worth any more, it’s not repairable unless you have another tub for it.
28km on the battery when the pictures were taken. Probably months before it gets to where it’s going, do you think they will pull the service plug? I’m pretty sure in a few months the “how do I charge a dead battery question?” Will pop up. I hope I’m wrong.
It was on approval so it may not even sell at the winning bid.

1281 is back up on June 10th I guess they want more for it or they realized they couldn’t export the vehicle.
1281 didn’t return for a 3rd visit at the auction block so I assume it sold. I wonder where it will turn up?

I have 34 total loss vehicles in my list (excluding rebuilt titles). My estimate would bet on at least tripling that number to account for totaled Roadsters in the U.S. market of the ~1,500 production cars.
My safest (and most hopeful) bet is that we have 1,380 living examples of U.S. production Roadsters still on the roads. That being said, I am thankful for every mile I get to travel safely in mine - especially after reading this thread.

Turned up again today. I doubt the battery has much life left it in it/ if any, but the value continues to climb. Last auction it sold for 21,500, now it’s already at 23,000

That car sold Monday finally for a lot more than than I thought it would, its been up for sale for 5 weeks and 5 auctions so it wil be interesting if it turns up again.
the rear under-shield is hanging down like mine did after I squashed a moose. I think it went up and over something twisting the chassis. It's branded irreparable so unless it was going to be used on the track (that was what I wanted it for) its a parts only car

Thank you for posting this - it hurts to see our baby this way though.
At least she's not bricked yet.
But the car did its job and sacrificed itself to protect your better half and you jumped right back into another Roadster so you're everyone's hero here @Peter.h!
Unknown but she's definitely getting down there based on this photo. I'm tempted to call them to offer my charging cables if they don't have any just to keep the ESS viable.
Whoa... it's already listed as "Sale Pending"! I just did a live chat session and they agent mentioned that a deposit has already been made. I asked if there was any charge left on the car or if any charging connectors were included and if they maintained the battery but they didn't respond. Hopefully the buyer replies here so we find out the status.
@petergrub did you grab this one

@Roadster - thank you for the kind words.
Someone got a good deal I think - most of the parts on the car were in pretty good shape (ESS, power train, interior, accessories, ...)
I have the logs that I pulled when I bought it with 15k miles. CAC was around 140 at the time of accident.
There were no chargers etc - my wife had emptied the trunk before they towed it
Would be the perfect candidate to mate with a bricked roadster with an ok body shell and chassis.

I know where this car is. Will be back when I know the status. Currently working on another. Hopefully will get one or two working roadsters. Need a hood and a windshield and some luck with another battery.

@Roadster @Peter.h #1171 is on it's way to see Peter Gruber for a charge (or more), then @docdailey and I will try to restore it along with #994, we can't let these cars die, they are too amazing
Wow those rear tires are dead. Is it normal to have insides of tires so worn? As quite new owner I still be doing first change... Those tires on car are way beyond functioning and is not obviously visible.... Is it with all roadsters like this? I suppose it was not caused by crash, many spots seems have lost rubber.
