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.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a white paint job, it’s not hard to see the Lotus Elise in this 2008 Tesla Roadster, but credit must go to Tesla for making it their own wherever possible. After all, when you’re starting out as an automaker as Tesla was way back when this car came out, it’s always better to piggyback on an established and refined platform rather than try to forge your own path at considerable expense and potential for mistakes. The bodywork features lightweight carbon fiber panels, and you’ve got a body-colored convertible hard top for removal when you desire some open-topped motoring in that signature silent characteristic that EVs possess. The car rolls on a set of black Tesla wheels that add to its distinctiveness. The two-seat passenger cabin of this 2008 Tesla Roadster continues the uncanny similarities with the cockpit of a Lotus Elise, albeit heavily adapted for Tesla’s purpose. For example, while the gauge cluster is Elise in design, the actual gauges themselves have been renumbered and recalibrated by Tesla to better reflect the RPMs of the electric motor. The center stack has also been redesigned with controls for the heating and ventilation system, plus a gear selector that basically lets you pick forward or reverse – since there’s no conventional gearbox in an EV.
Engine
This 2008 Tesla Roadster reportedly enjoys a 248hp electric motor with 200lb-ft of torque available from a standstill, and powers the rear wheels via a single-speed transmission. It’s got a 53 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack and regenerative braking to top-up the battery on deceleration.
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.

The Tesla Model 3 helped redefine the modern electric vehicle market when it debuted, combining impressive performance, cutting-edge technology, and everyday practicality in a sleek sedan package. This 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range shows approximately 80,643 miles and features the desirable Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configuration paired with Tesla’s Long Range battery pack. Finished in Midnight Silver Metallic over a White and Black Premium Interior, this Model 3 offers an attractive blend of efficiency, comfort, and performance. With its minimalist cabin, over-the-air software updates, and strong electric driving range, the Model 3 remains one of the most influential EVs ever produced and continues to be a compelling choice for drivers seeking modern transportation.
Tesla’s Cybertruck has been one of the most talked-about vehicles of the decade, and the Cyberbeast Foundation Series represents the absolute top tier of early production models. This particular 2024 example shows just 570 miles and delivers the kind of futuristic performance and presence that very few vehicles on the road can match. With its tri-motor setup producing blistering acceleration and advanced off-road capability, the Cyberbeast blends supercar-level speed with pickup truck utility. Being a Foundation Series model, it also carries exclusive badging and early-production desirability, making it especially appealing to collectors and early adopters alike.
