there's another consideration. Tesla has never been thrilled about supporting the original Roadster. Elon has said many disparaging things about the car. They could be buying them back to (1) spur trade-ins on modern Teslas and (2) get them off the road so they don't need to support them anymore. Parts are just a secondary benefit.
Crazy change. I asked them for a trade-in quote when I was buying my Model 3 performance in 2018. I think they quoted me 30k or 40k for a 2010 Sport with ~25k miles.
