Anyone know anything about this car? The seller is a broker who has never owned a Tesla and has no clue....no info about maintenance, no hard top, no charger, etc

 

[TEG]

Rumor is that it was previously driven by a senior person at Tesla, and then let go to auction.
I am guessing that those few who kept driving Roadster (instead of Model S or X) are switching to Model 3 now, so some Roadsters may have been retired.
I think the Roadsters he got were a bit neglected, so some detailing and cosmetic fixing up was being done before resale.

Slightly off topic. I've noticed some of the cars in France and Switzerland have side indicators on the front fenders. Are these functional or reflectors? I assume they are required.

Second question, what is "Getra" on the one listed in Germany?

The side markers is no side markers that's direction indicator that's are on all EU cars

 

[TEG]

Side "repeaters" are required in many European countries. They are not required in the USA.
Thus North American Roadsters don't have them but European ones do.

I think GETRA is the name of a European company that had some fun replacing the TESLA lettering on the back of their company Roadster.

• VIN 5YJRE1A10A1001042 (U.S.)
• 2010 2.5 Base
• Fusion Red (Solid Paint)
• Black Base Interior
• Silver Cast Base Wheels
• Infotainment Group
• Xenon Headlamp Retrofit ($2,600 option)
• Solar Guard Windshield
• Appears to have a 110V Spare Mobile Connector in trunk...though I cannot see what else.

****Service history and battery CAC unknown.
- $52,999 (31,647 Miles)
- Located in Marietta, GA

This one looks like it's in fantastic shape, and has my two favorite options on a 2.5 - Xenons and Infotainment (Double-DIN). In my opinion, you don't need much else! Not to mention...this is a fantastic below-market price for a base 2.5 with limited options.

@TEG - HA! I was about to say...looks like that one got sick of waiting and traded into a dealership. If it's really going for $49,999...that's a fantastic deal.
