Vehicle Description

Here we have another well-maintained, 2008 Black Tesla Roadster located in Newport Beach, CA.

Second owner, purchased from Tesla in 2013 with ~6k miles.

No accidents. Only significant repair required in last 8 years was a PEM fuse replacement.

VIN #163. Recently, VIN #162 was reviewed by Doug DeMuro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKDqhWwzzgo

Unique “Roadster” badging on rear. 2.0 & 2.5 Sport models had “Roadster Sport” badging, this 1.5 has a modified Roadster Sport badge without the “sport” part, installed by Tesla by request.

Carpool stickers no longer functional, white stickers applied to early BEVs but were deprecated a few years ago.

Issues:
– JVC headunit is in poor working condition, will reset when driving over bumps. Would recommend replacement with more modern single DIN unit ( https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/single-din-radio-options.212070/ ) or do the double-DIN retrofit mod.
– Small scrape on right front bumper in front of wheel. Approx 1cm diameter.
– Light “door ding” scratches on passenger door, ~1cm long.
– Factory PPF still installed. PPF looks a little beaten up, but paint underneath is good.
– Small chip on front left wheel rim, has been painted over and not readily apparent.
– Headlights are missing clear coat and become yellowed over time. Can be fixed with headlight restoration compound or by replacing headlights (will include 2 spare headlight assemblies).
– Door sill cover has a crack in it
– Tires are still in good condition, but are several years old in age. Probably should be replaced relatively soon.

Will include accessories:
– 120v charging cable.
– The CAN Jr. J1772 -> Roadster charging adapter.
– Custom outdoor car cover. “Superweave” fabric from California Car Cover. Gray, “Tesla” embroidered in red front & back. Car has lived outdoors in California for 8 years but always under cover when parked for more than ~20 minutes.
– 2 spare headlight assemblies.
– Body color hardtop
– Soft top.
– OVMS system to access car controls through mobile app.
– Color-matched touch-up paint (never used)
– Replacement “TESLA” rear badging. Horizontal lines on E & A can come off easily, have had to replace them a few times.”

The Tesla Roadster is now considered a collector’s item that will increase in value in the years to come. An incredible race car that is glued to the road, with great acceleration and driving pleasure. A total of 2400 produced.  This 2008 Roadster is Vin #163 and only has around 30K miles!

This car marks the start of the great electric car adventure, and is the first electric car with a long range.

Charging cable is included.

One CAN adapter is included.
