Owner’s Backstory
We ask for a backstory, and here is what the owner shared:
Unique Roadster. We are the original first 500 owners. This Roadster was purchased in 2007, two years before it was delivered to us.
We attended the town halls with Elon and all events organized by Tesla when Tesla was barely a car company. Aside from many stories and pictures we can tell and have about the beginnings of Tesla Motors, this Roadster comes with a refurbished battery pack by Tesla.
The car includes a high-power wall charger, CAN SR NACS to Type 1 Roadster plug, MC120 yellow 120 VAC charge cable, factory Tesla Roadster car cover, extra set of leather door seals, extra radio cover, original purchase order, and memorabilia including leather swatches.
This car has been babied and is looking for a nice home to go to, as we are relocating to Europe and unfortunately are not taking her with us.
