2010 Tesla Roadster eBay

Seller's description:
Hello, hope this day treats you well. This Tesla is a 2010 but it looks like a 2012. I bought this several years ago and started replace the parts that needed to be replaced as you can see the front bumper needed to be replaced And I Installed the 2012 and not a 2010, I thought that was really cool. we bought this for just a little bit less then she is selling it for The reason we are selling it before it’s finished is because we went through a divorce. and it’s the same old story she got the Goldmine I got the shaft. So I wasn’t able to finish it. It was just about done .so I’m selling her Tesla.
If you paint the front bumper and put a new battery, It’s good to go. it also has a high capacity battery charger that comes with it.
I’m open for any offer, so let me know what you offer and I’ll talk it over with her and see what we can do. There’s a lot of things in life that I would like to have finished and this was a big one.
Happy trails partner.

Seems high BIN AT $65K Since last clean low mileage (11k) salvage running roadster, vin 933 glacier blue, with high CAC sold for less than $75k. What’s the best fair market value estimate for this, a true parts car? it looks funny with a 2.5 bumper cover and a 2.0 grill (the catfish look😂). Also, how would you get a battery for this? Maybe old reman 2.0 packs via third party shops?
My local Tesla SC told me that you need to bring them the brick roadster with the pack in it before they would consider getting you in line for the 3.0 ESS replacement. They said there’s no exception and the SC needs to send the old ESS PACK back to CA headquarter before they send new one to local SC, NO EXCEPTIONS!
 
Here we go, any guesses on final bid?🤞

Saw this sold at Mecum auction. You’re correct to comment that the majority of the Mecum crowd/bidders are clueless to understand EV values or the importance of this roadster in the EV revolution. Hopefully, vin#292 gets more love🤞 They were more excited to see the 1966 SHELBY DAYTONA REPLICA that preceded F#11.😱😂

Crowd around the replica Shelby while F#11 was only looked at by staffers.

I agree. I think one is better off listing a roadster on BoT where they get more love.
