Background Story of this 2008 Tesla Roadster

Overview of 2008 Tesla Roadster For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The Lotus Elise design is clearly visible on every Roadster, since Tesla didn’t go to change too much of what was already an eye-catching shape and form. They did, however, change elements such as the wheels, headlamp and taillamp clusters. However, those body panels are carbon fiber, which of course, aids in keeping vehicle weight down. The interior of this 2008 Tesla Roadster comes with two tan leather seats and is largely similar to the Elise. The only significant difference is the presence of two rather than three pedals in the driver’s footwell. However, closer inspection reveals more differentiation. For example, while the gauge cluster looks standard Elise, the rev counter runs up to 13,000rpm which is the motor’s maximum permissible speed. Then, there’s indicators for the car’s transmission, and the speedometer reaches 150mph. Looking at the upper center console, we find a JVC head unit with HDD navigation. Lower down are controls for the air conditioning and heating system, as well as two buttons for the seat heaters.

Engine

Powering this 2008 Tesla Roadster is a reported 248 horsepower electric motor with a maximum torque figure of 200lb-ft. The motor drives the rear wheels through a single-speed fixed gear transmission. There’s regenerative braking to augment the four-wheel disk brakes. You’ve also got front and rear independent suspension for sporty handling. It might amaze you to know that the 0-60 time is around 4 seconds!

2008 Tesla Roadster

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$164,999
SOLD

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.

2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$27,500

Say what you will about Tesla, but you can’t deny that they’ve massively contributed towards the shake-up in the entire automotive industry across the world. We’re sure that many mainstream automakers were jolted into producing EVs after Tesla boldly strode onto the stage and stole the limelight. With their current five-model line-up (that’s S,3,X,Y and Cybertruck), this prolific if sometimes larger-than-life American automaker is definitely worthy of consideration. This particular example of theirs is a 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range, which is a compact luxury electric crossover. The Model Y was introduced for the 2021 model year, and it sold over 410,000 units worldwide that year itself! This particular example comes from St. George, Utah, and is a dual-motor, long-range variant. It’s traveled over 102,000 miles but is in excellent shape.
