2008 Tesla Roadster — Radiant Red, Low Mileage, Excellent Battery Health

This 2008 Tesla Roadster is located in Phoenix, Arizona and is finished in Radiant Red. With only 6,876 miles / 11,065 km, this is a very low-mileage example with excellent ESS main battery health. Vehicle details show a 53 kWh battery, a strong CAC of 149.83, and 178 miles / 286 km of range at 85%. This makes the car especially appealing for buyers looking for a low-mileage early Roadster with a healthy original battery profile. The car is clean, well preserved, and ready for a new owner, though there are a few disclosed items to address. The most notable cosmetic issue is a small area of body damage on the driver-side quarter panel, described as an approximately 2-inch crack that will require filler and paint to make the car perfect.

Owner’s Backstory

We ask for a backstory, and here is what the owner shared: There is a bit of body damage, like something heavy had hit the driver-side quarter panel, leaving a 2-inch crack which will require filler and paint. This is shown in the images. “My nephew threw a croquet ball at it when the car was only a year or two old — and so was he.” “It needed to be mentioned and shown, but it is up to the buyer to decide what they want to offer knowing it would need to be repaired to be perfect.” TPMS sensor batteries are not functioning and will have to be replaced, and the front trunk latches will need to be reworked. Other than that, this car is clean, well preserved, and ready for a new owner.
