Apparently there was no autopark in that generation.

One of the big independent shops is in the Seattle area besides gruber motors I think in Arizona . Very nice

I'm not saying I would commit grand theft auto, but if I did.....

How could Tesla make a car without at least autopilot.

What charging ports are available? Can the battery officially be replaced with a new one?

Seattle guy is Medlock & Sons. Arizona is Gruber Motors.

There are adapters for J1772 and Tesla AC plug. There's a retrofit for chademo as well. Battery can be replaced with a larger R80 pack but it is $40k.

Here i am thinking my 50k deposit was going to be put to use finally. Guess i'll wait a few more years

SmallPitch 2025-08-20 05:50

Aww, the battery price is insane.

So you're telling me i gotta drive to the supercharger all by myself?!?

RethafsarreK 2025-08-20 09:38

No power steering lol

SatisfactionOdd2169 2025-08-20 12:18

Holy shit $50k

What? This car came out in 2008

shad_stang 2025-08-21 00:34

These are AWFUL to drive. Sorry not sorry Drove about 3 of these (early and super late VINs) and nothing about driving these are enjoyable. It’ll turn heads, but that’s about it. Also, if you ever get one up on a lift (use an alignment rack as they will fall off a two post lift), check out all the surplus big 3 parts they are built with. Utterly wild that this sparked one of the largest EV companies in existence. Will say, Model X post Raven front drive unit will always be my favorite vehicle I’ve driven from Tesla

new teslas getting more and more pedestrian looking with each redesign

I think he lives in West Seattle.

I drive by this shop daily, there must be 20 roadsters in there at any given time. There are routinely 5-6 parked out on the street during the day since they need to make room in the shop.

This is not the roadster your are looking for

Background-Suit5717 2025-08-25 01:24

Lotus Elise, I don’t care what people call it. /s

I used to see two every day at the old Apple HQ when I worked at that building years ago: a blue one and an orange on like this. Sort of took seeing them for granted because thinking about it now, I rarely ever any around now.
