Today's Roadster Orphan

[TEG]

@TEG what is insane green???

Lotus "Krypton Green"...

Generally only seen on European Roadsters.

Although... P100:

So this is basically a one-off in the US then? I don't ever recall seeing that color offered on Tesla's Roadster paint samples

 

[TEG]

Yeah, they sent it to Europe for some sort of Daimler partnership event & photo-op. Then it came back to USA and got sold to someone.

@TEG, I think it's this one from #206 that looks metallic to me:

It looks a bit like a Lotus Elise in (one version of) Racing Green, which apparently is metallic Lotus paint code B86:

Some additional links on this metallic version of Lotus Racing Green:

In general, it just seems like a "greener" color than Tesla Signature Green (aka Lotus Empire Green, we think).

Another of Tesla Signature Green, which is definitely darker than #206:

So hard to tell which green is which...

@TEG Do you know or have in your records who the original owner was for my car, #209? Previous owner said it was a Tesla employee

 

[mmccord]

TIL: There is a roadster in Middletown NY. I've never seen one around here.

@TEG Do you know or have in your records who the original owner was for my car, #209? Previous owner said it was a Tesla employee

Well, before you it was msjulie here on TMC ( CA"8CCJ105" )

And before her it was Roadster08 here on TMC ( CA"6HWR576" )
How many roadster owners active on TMC, and what type of roadster?

Yeah, I heard a Tesla Exec owned it at some point, but don't know who that might be.

Does it still have the sport seats?

 

[backmost]

Yep still got the sport seats, thanks for the info!

The "teacup car" (VP24) is back. Just noticed the very clean double DIN dash conversion. Wonder if that was done by Tesla before it went to individual ownership?
