Founders Series #22 & 24 still in Florida. The owners travel so the cars seem to spend a lot of time at the store. I believe one belongs to Tim Watkins.

F22 might be Michael Marks'.
I think F24 was in Chicago for a while. Isn't that the one with the orange steering wheel?

Not sure this is the best place to post, but the first 100+ Roadsters are about to pass out of warranty coverage. Any word from TMC about extended warranty to the early owners? Have you done anything to safeguard against future expensive repairs that could be accomplished under warranty?

There is a warranty thread.

I think something is in the works, but it can be tricky to do that if you aren't an insurance company.
Maybe some sort of pre-paid service plan or somesuch.

My and my childhood friend bought #28 and it will be shipped to us in Helsinki. It doesnt run due to accident
and we will ask local universitystudents to fix it. At least they will
get good glimpse to finest electric car.

#60 off the production line is now #2 to live in Nebraska. I met Don today. Great guy.

UNL prof getting students into electric cars : The Lincoln Journal Star Online

If you owned a $100,000 sports car, would you let more than 1,000 people -- including strangers -- drive it?

It’s safe to say most people would not.

Don Cox isn’t most people.

“The car pretty well takes care of itself and the driver,” he said. “Nobody’s crashed it.”

Among those he’s given a chance to drive his “radiant red” Tesla Roadster are the 23 students in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln class he teaches about electric cars. This is the first time the university has offered the one-credit course, which introduces students to the electric car’s history and benefits.

I found another one!!! Number 76 here's a link:

Hmmmm...

That doesn't seem to be right. It claims that Signature100 #76 is a 2009, and is British Racing Green.

I just purchased Signature100 #76 (Certified Pre-Owned, verified by VIN), and it was produced in 2008, and is Glacier Blue.

 

[TEG]

I think that Green one is #74, not #76...

As far as I know, #76 is/was glacier blue like you said. 6GNA132...W/O GAS...

Thanks, TEG!

BTW - is there any way to find out the history of this vehicle (how many previous owners and rough location, if not actual names)?
