Tesla Roadster For Sale

OFF MARKET

Before Tesla created its range of the Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y (which, when arranged like that, spell S3XY), the Roadster was their tour de force. Based on a Lotus Elise chassis, it was the first highway-legal production car to use lithium-ion battery cells. Yet, production was modest, at approximately 2,450 units over the car’s four-year production run. Today, finding a Tesla Roadster isn’t easy as you might guess, so we’ve got one for you from Scottsdale, Arizona. This 2008 Tesla Roadster comes with just 1,821 miles on the odometer, a 53 kilowatt-hour battery pack and a carbon fiber body. Being Tesla’s first production vehicle, the Roadster is definitely a historically significant machine and owning one will be a great experience. The charger is said to be included with the car as well.

OFF MARKET

The first car that Tesla made for the public to purchase was a slick two-seat roadster called simply, the Tesla Roadster. Based on the chassis of the Lotus Elise and bearing many visual similarities, the Tesla Roadster was made for just four short years. A mere 2,450 units were produced and sold in Europe and Asia too. That makes cars like this 2008 Tesla Roadster quite rare and desirable, not to mention important pieces of early American EV automotive history. This car has a claimed 574 original miles on it, and is up for sale in Irvine, California.
