NPOCP?

I cannot imagine these cars not becoming future classics, regardless what happens with the future of Tesla. I say buy them up, speculators!

I wonder how their batteries are holding up.

Nooooo. Speculators stay away! I need them to get cheap enough that I can buy one as a project/track car.

NP.

Bargain 911 competitor for people who don’t care about the infotainment crap.

Surprisingly well, exceeding expectations rather dramatically. I’m sure the fact most live in temperature-controlled garages helps.

Yeah, the $15,000 in savings buys  A LOT  of gas.

And wheels/tires and HPDE fees :).

Are they selling for a $10k deposit with delivery in 2-5 years? It would be awesome if the used market mirrored the new market.

If they fail, you can always go on ebay and snatch up a couple hundred used IBM thinkpads or Gateway laptops for cheap.

Tesla sucks

Basically, these were high end test mules for their batteries, which we know went into production. So I’d guess they hold up pretty well.

Am I just unlucky, or are these things extremely rare? I’ve seen twice as many Veneno coupes IRL as I’ve seen Tesla Roadsters.

And I hadn’t to go all the way to Turin Italy to see my first/only Roadster.

Neato. Did not look at it that way before.

I’ve never seen one in the wild. I would assume they are almost all in California.

Dealer is 10 miles from me.. I betcha that’s the same roadster I’ve seen multiple times tooling around the Microsoft campus in Re dmond.

I’ve seen maybe a total of three or four, only two of which were in the wild. They make me do a harder double take than any new Tesla product. lol
