^^^ Any idea why it doesn't have any sport badges on the sides or back?

Was it repainted?

No repaint work— the car is 100% original. The story goes like this: after acquiring the car, I wanted to have it polished/paint corrected, and ceramic pro coated. Upon pickup of the car in Florida I noted that part of the TESLA chrome badge on the rear was missing/damage during normal cleaning, an occuence I’ve come to find is quite commong. So I had the detail shop remove ALL of the chrome bright work, assuming Tesla would replace it for me quickly, easily. During this process of detail it came to be that Tesla local service center was NOT able to get me new chrome in a timely fashion. So, I had a friend wth a vinyl cutter make the black TESLA logo for me.

Since then, a new TESLA badge was acquired. The original Roadster and Sport badge is also still there, too. All of these items are in the trunk in a plastic ziplock bag. ALL old brightwork PLUS a new TESLA badge are there, if you wanted to return it back to factory visual. Since I liked how it looked as-is I never changed it back. Plus if I did that, you’d want to have the rear re-polished and ceramic coated to suit. But the option would be easy to do should the next owner want to. Note: the prior owner had the R80 badge left off the car during the upgrade, and was unsure where said badge was located. But the serial # and sticker on the battery pack, plus a VIN check with local TEsla, and receipts, all confirmed the 3.0 battery. Not to mention my blog post that outlines the 1200+ mile home from Florida with range charging etc that definitely verified the 3.0 battery (one range charge showed 340 miles at 100% SOC!)

Sweet! Thanks for the clarification...

Anyone know about 0521?
Found it at Copart and thinking about purchasing it for the battery , PEM and other parts.
Anyone know if it had the 3.0?

Well 1434 has sat for a long time and this AM, my battery is reading 110 at 75% and it's a 3.0

Solid point...as they can fluctuate a great deal on the Estimated Range due to past driving habits.

However, VIN 521 does NOT have a 3.0 battery. I spoke with the previous owner recently. Pretty standard car without many options apart from the hard top & paint.

Oof...not sure if the silver Sharpie tail lights or the quilted blanket / packing material interior finish is worse.

At least it has both carbon accent groups...

Has (why hasn't) someone created a spreadsheet for plugging in Roadster data and voila! arriving at a 'standard value'? Having a list of all available options for a given VIN would be handy.
