The Wrecked Roadster Registry

[Lipas]

it's been for sale for ages (min. 2 years), i went to have a look at it not too long ago: frame is cracked, ESS (off course) is fooked and unfortunately was outside with no roof for quite a while so intereur is useless, somebody tried to work on the battery, missing parts, no charging-equipment and the seller is not prepared to negotiate at all...sad...write off...

Do you know the VIN number?
I asked for some photos a few months ago and what i saw wasn't very encouraging.
I believe they destroyed the car as they use a Fork Lift Truck to lift the car with the forks under the battery...
Sadly they don't know how to handle the roadster.

Never thought to post here...

But, does anyone have the canvas tool pouch that originally came with the Roadster? I lost mine.

Thanks,

Henry

Wow I didn't even know there were any roadsters here in Mobile AL. Sadly it looks completely roasted, is there anything about it that would be worth checking in person?

That looks about as far gone as a roadster could get. Like maybe nothing left to salvage from that mess.

Amazing the web site states the Est. Retail Value is $73,893.00

Maybe someone thinks the VIN itself has some value and they can slap it on some kit car...

Insert "that'll buff out just fine" joke here.

Makes you wonder how much actual research they do on the "repair costs."

 

[snaffah]

That’s the value they’ve assigned to the car if it wasn’t damaged, not what they think it’s worth now that it’s burnt up.

@TEG any update on how many total Roadsters have been wrecked/stripped for parts?

No, I haven't been trying to figure that out. I suppose in earlier years I would have been pouring over all the Copart listings, but not so much anymore.

Had my Model S towed today for rodent damage and the tow truck driver saw my Roadster. He said they towed a totaled one in white or silver last week. This is in Tucson, AZ. Anybody here know what happened?

I hope it's not the white 2.5 R80 that was recently bought last year?

That’s my car and thankfully he’s safe!

EU #080, #138, #518, pics are from 2013 so they're long gone...

Any ideia where to buy a damaged tesla roadster in Europe?

 

[warden_clyffe]

...the sad news: due to a driver's mistake, our EU #413 is a write-off, too

major damages on chassis and hv-system, luckily nobody got harmed
