Here we have another well-maintained, 2008 Black Tesla Roadster located in Newport Beach, CA.
Second owner, purchased from Tesla in 2013 with ~6k miles.
No accidents. Only significant repair required in last 8 years was a PEM fuse replacement.
VIN #163. Recently, VIN #162 was reviewed by Doug DeMuro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKDqhWwzzgo
Unique “Roadster” badging on rear. 2.0 & 2.5 Sport models had “Roadster Sport” badging, this 1.5 has a modified Roadster Sport badge without the “sport” part, installed by Tesla by request.
Carpool stickers no longer functional, white stickers applied to early BEVs but were deprecated a few years ago.
Issues: – JVC headunit is in poor working condition, will reset when driving over bumps. Would recommend replacement with more modern single DIN unit ( https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/single-din-radio-options.212070/ ) or do the double-DIN retrofit mod. – Small scrape on right front bumper in front of wheel. Approx 1cm diameter. – Light “door ding” scratches on passenger door, ~1cm long. – Factory PPF still installed. PPF looks a little beaten up, but paint underneath is good. – Small chip on front left wheel rim, has been painted over and not readily apparent. – Headlights are missing clear coat and become yellowed over time. Can be fixed with headlight restoration compound or by replacing headlights (will include 2 spare headlight assemblies). – Door sill cover has a crack in it – Tires are still in good condition, but are several years old in age. Probably should be replaced relatively soon.
Will include accessories: – 120v charging cable. – The CAN Jr. J1772 -> Roadster charging adapter. – Custom outdoor car cover. “Superweave” fabric from California Car Cover. Gray, “Tesla” embroidered in red front & back. Car has lived outdoors in California for 8 years but always under cover when parked for more than ~20 minutes. – 2 spare headlight assemblies. – Body color hardtop – Soft top. – OVMS system to access car controls through mobile app. – Color-matched touch-up paint (never used) – Replacement “TESLA” rear badging. Horizontal lines on E & A can come off easily, have had to replace them a few times.”
