    And if that wasn't fun enough, don't forget, we also have #1393 crossing the RM Auction block today. Should be coming up in the next hour or so. Curious if any bidders who missed out on Sig #38 are lined up for this one?

    That was the most exciting few minutes in Roadster history!

    I guess I need a “basic” Roadster to daily drive instead of, well, either of mine at this point. :confused:

    With so few ever made, no such thing as basic Roadster anymore! Basic 250 GT?

    I read an article if the buyer didnt buy roadster and put it on TSLA instead. It will worth 9M or something now.

    the bidding was so exciting. I wish i recorded it in real live.

    Yes true, Tesla was losing money on each of the 1.5 Roadsters and so they performed a significant decontenting. They added some nice things as well but the guts were not as robust.

    I would be careful about the above. It is listed next to other Roadsters long ago sold.

    2 different Fusion Red Roadsters in Perth, both with CF trim... Or swapping plates, wheels, side logos, etc?
    Also maybe had a black wrap for a while...
