Significance

The original Tesla Roadster wasn’t just the company’s first production car—it was a proof of concept that changed the auto industry. By wrapping a Lotus Elise chassis around a proprietary lithium-ion battery pack and electric drivetrain, Tesla proved that EVs could be both desirable and thrilling. Just 2,450 units were built, and the Roadster helped spark the modern EV era. This example is an updated Roadster 3.0, a rare factory program launched in 2014 to extend the range and relevance of early cars. The upgrade included an improved battery pack (from 53 kWh to 80 kWh), a revised aero kit, and low rolling resistance tires—yielding a claimed 340-mile range. Fewer than 200 cars are believed to have received the full R80 3.0 upgrade, making them the most advanced and longest-range version of Tesla’s first production model.

About this vehicle

This 2008 Tesla Roadster is finished in Glacier Blue over a Black interior and shows just 20,942 miles from new. It is an R80 3.0 example, benefitting from Tesla’s official upgrade to its larger battery, aerodynamic improvements, and range-optimized wheels and tires. The car was first registered in San Francisco, California, where it remained with its first two owners until 2023, when it was acquired by the third owner. The Carfax vehicle history shows three total California owners, no accidents or damage reported, and a clean title. It retains the soft top and factory wheels, and remains in excellent condition inside and out. This is a rare opportunity to own a modern EV collectible with real historical importance—offered here in one of its most desirable specs.
