Ad says 3.0? (I'm clueless on these things)

I think that 3.0 is referring to the battery upgrade.

^^^ Yet another Sport with a non-sport PEM cover.
And a dusty ESS for such a low mileage car.

 

[candersoh]

is "ruby red" same as radiant red?

"Ruby Red" is not any "official" Tesla color name. I assume that one is Radiant Red.

( I like to think of the Starman Space Roadster as "Ruby Red" custom color, but Elon calls it "Midnight Cherry" )

An embarrassment of interesting roadsters have been popping up at auction!

Sounds like SFZRE2B31A3000436 will auctioned at Bonhams’ Les Grandes Marques du Monde in Paris on Feb 3rd.

If that’s not an immediately familiar vin, it’s the orange Tag Heuer car which 7-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher drove in the 2010 Race of Champions.

Schumi was pitted against Sèbastien Loeb on a parallel track in a green Roadster - video here:

The cars were “stripped” (not much, though), fitted with a roll cage, race seats and harnesses, kill switches, and fire extinguishers; the fire extinguishers have been removed, but the rest appears to have been left as it was when raced.

2010, 15k km, soft top, clear carbon hard top, assorted chargers, first owner (bought from Tesla’s Monaco showroom), and quite possibly the only chance to buy a Schumacher-raced car that *isn’t* a multimillion dollar, undriveable F1 car that requires a team of mechanics to maintain.

Estimated at $150-230k USD

Bonhams : Ex-Race of Champions, driven by Michael Schumacher,2010 Tesla Roadster Chassis no. SFZRE2B31A3000436

Nice find! We were wondering where these ended up (discussed here) so it's good to know they're still around – or at least one of them is – and were kept mostly unchanged with the padded roll cage, race seats, etc. The only thing I can see that's different is the in-cabin HV cutoff button that was located in the DDIN area seems to have been actually fitted with the OE Alpine infotainment head unit.

Just took my roadster in for its annual service at an independent Tesla service center, Executive MotorWerkz, located in Lawndale. CA. Since I will be putting it on the market after the new year, I wanted it to have a fresh annual for the new buyer. There were two other roadsters also there for service.

Please share your thoughts about the quality of service here. As a new roadster owner looking for options when the time comes for my annual service.
