Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5 — Fusion Red, Beloved & Rare

Welcome to our beloved and rare Roadster Sport 2.5 Fusion Red. We purchased this Roadster in October 2024 through Bring a Trailer from Alton Burkhalter, and from the moment we saw the listing, it immediately felt like a full-circle moment.

Back in 2011, we owned one of the early Tesla Roadster Sports—VIN 502. That car left a lasting impression on me, not just as a driver’s car, but as a piece of history at the very beginning of Tesla’s journey. We eventually parted with it, as it was acquired by a museum, which made it all the more meaningful. Ever since, I had been quietly looking for the right opportunity to reconnect with that experience. When this car came up, it struck us how closely it resembled our original Roadster in both spirit and configuration. It wasn’t just about owning a Roadster again, it was about reconnecting with a very specific moment in time, both personally and in the evolution of electric vehicles.
Recent Service & Maintenance
  • PEM Level 3 refurbishment completed in 2024 by Medlock & Sons for long-term reliability and peace of mind
  • Annual Service completed in September 2025 by Electrified Garage
  • Brake flush completed
  • Brake cleaning completed
  • Coolant flush completed
  • Brand new tires installed, mounted, and balanced
  • OVMS installed for remote monitoring and connectivity
Some of the rarer accessories include the original car cover for this Roadster, a Pioneer head unit with rear camera and Bluetooth support, both charging adapters, CAN JR and CAN SR made specifically for this car by Henry Sharpe, and original literature that came with the car.  The Roadster also underwent a full PPF application for maximum paint protection.
Backstory
Since acquiring it, I’ve taken a very deliberate approach to maintaining and improving the car while preserving what makes it special. The car has been carefully garage-kept, always charged on standard via a Gruber-improved yellow charge cable, and exercised regularly.
It continues to deliver the uniquely analog-yet-electric driving experience that makes these cars so special. The only reason I’m parting with it now is a change in life circumstances—my family and I are expecting our first child, and we’re in the process of simplifying and reallocating resources as we prepare for this next chapter.
This has been a deeply meaningful car for me to own, and I’d love to see it go to someone who appreciates not just what it is, but what it represents.
