Saw your car in the video along with all the CF you're going to add!!
Have you decided on going all CF on the hood or just the 3 like stock?

When I bought mine it was between a Very Orange and red. Was tough decision, but I went with red. Keeping the paint and not getting carbon fiber. Still like paint better. Guess I'm old fashioned!

no dirt/dust...it's just a little faded in certain areas but as you can tell from the video 95% of the CF is shiny. just polish and then clearbra to protect your the CF areas (if not entire car) and it will always have that shiny, "wet" appearance.
So... Did you buy it? Nobody's mentioned the front bumper but it needs a minor repair. I would buy that car in a heartbeat if I was looking for a Roadster.
Yep - super well optioned, looks to be in great condition.... AND... it comes with both of the HCsharp adapters!

I love the color. Wife loves Kelly green. So I show her the car, she makes a face pooh-pooh it. Said it's too loud to be driven in. I have paid off credit cards, save the 19K I owe on my Dec 2016 MS. Stocks came back save Disney, my loss was little more than what I owed on Model S (sold Dis). I plan to get a 2.5 or 3.0 Roadster this year, unless economy tanks into a depression. Then I'll wait.
Personally very orange is too orange for me but son saw the color on a new mustang and loved it :- P
To be honest I'm waiting on Tesla to announce this battery day. With Tesla quietly stating the new battery pack upgrade for Roadsters is a year out, my thought is they will reward us. Hopefully.
Baby doc, that was two years ago before what we knew on the R 80 battery packs. That said, I'm eyeing that white one son, just not ready yet. MS loan D'ght!
R 80 in NC sold for little under 70. I know as I spoke to the Dealer. It was listed on this site, red with white pin stripes. Too lazy to look it up while working :- P
The car was wrecked, not totaled. I posted on it earlier info from the room. Importing from Canada was a pain too far for me.
My preference has been the 2.5 noses, but damn that Thundergray and stripping is freaking hot hot hot.
While I like the new Roadster, four seats, ah no. Besides the personal property tax for the county. Just to give you an idea, first year I had my Model S the property tax (after paying sales tax the year before) was 2300 bucks. General purpose that enough not for me to get the Roadster II
Drewski you bougt the lighting green roadster 1038? Yeah the Elkhart one is the one I'm hoping to land.

Gruber is saying that it indeed will be made available. My guess is probably within the next 12-18 months. Probably not gonna be cheap though. If and when that happens I expect roadster resale prices to go up.
