    2008 Tesla Roadster



    I found this on fb... im not the seller..
    45k #268
    2008 Tesla Roadster. 1.5 Model. Fun car and very unique. #268 made out of 2000 total.


    Has original carbon fiber hard top. Second hardtop that is shorter looking and fiberglass. Also has a clear hard top. Comes with soft top and mesh top.


    Has upgraded brake rotors all the way around. Nitron shocks. Sperical bushings. Close range steering rack for performance enhancements.


    Comes with 3 chargers. One high power wall charger called an HPC charger, second home charger and portable charger. Comes with two charger adapters called CANs. Allows to charge using Model S charger, not DC type only AC, and standard EV charging stations.


    Would love to bring with me but moving out of state and selling all belongings.

    I thought so.

    IIRC he had some problems with it around the time he stopped posting.

    Thanks... North American VIN pool, but they put Europe style side repeater lights on it...
    That was the store demo car.
    I think it would have started out as a "2.0", but had "2.5" bumpers & wheels put on later.

    Sort of similair question. There's a Roadster Sport on Pete Gruber's site. Looks a lot like Bunnak's car. Is his up for sale?
    Is that Bunnak's car? I showed my wife the color of the car. Let's just say her reaction was that's a lot of orange lol. Beautiful condition.

    Note, you mentioned Gruber having a "Roadster Sport", but DeedWest's posting is about a "Roadster Base"...

    Seems Gruber is listing that same base Roadster:

    Yes - that vehicle is pending sale and heading to Dallas for its new owner. Turns out I’ll get to see it nearby more often than not. :)

    Is Bunnak getting another Roadster ?
    I enjoyed watching his restoration of
    His car and his input to the club.

    He will down the road, I’m sure. I believe he’s holding out for a Brilliant Yellow. :)

    Understood. I pulled you up on his profile the pictures were nearly the same which is what generated the question. Guess I worked too much intel from the past lol.

    Thomas you on the intel as usual. If you happen to know Jerry Jones, kick him in the butt and tell him to sign Dak. He franchises him again he's gone.

    Hey kids -- long time no talk --
    Are there any "affordable" (sub$80k) Roadsters around in the country right now?

    Missing my #613 R80... pretty sure its in Kansas still and probably will be forever. Should have hung onto it...

    Nice garage! Your Tesla doesn't mind that the gas pump doesn't work anymore!
