Owner’s Backstory
Every Roadster has a story with it. Here is what the owner had to share:
This exceptional Roadster is among the exclusive first 500 ever produced by Tesla.
Owned by the original owner, a prominent American businessman and Archery Hall of Fame inductee, this vehicle boasts a unique history.
In 2016, the battery was upgraded to the 3.0 pack, ensuring top-notch performance.
The vehicle includes soft top and hard top, as well as the first-generation charger and TS70 Wall Charger, which is the fastest Roadster charger.
An additional bonus is a legacy 240 VAC charge cable, originally designed by Martin Eberhard.
In addition, both Henry Sharp adapters to NACS and J1772 charge standards are included, a $1,600 option.
This Roadster has the larger 3.0 R80 main battery pack installed in 2016.
The vehicle is being sold due to the owner no longer being able to enjoy the thrill of driving the Roadster, which spends a lot of time in storage.
