The 1st Gen of the Tesla Roadster was introduced in 2008 by Tesla as their first production electric car, featuring a mid-mounted electric motor in a two seat roadster body. These rear wheel drive sports cars helped turn the world's attention to the performance capabilities of electric motors. The Roadster is powered by a 3-phase 4-pole AC induction air cooled motor, delivering 248 hp and 200 lbâ‹…ft of torque and a 3.9 second 0-60.
Production of the 1st Gen Tesla Roadster lasted until 2012, when the model was discontinued. The 2nd Gen is expected to start production later next year. There were a total of 2,450 Roadsters ever produced worldwide - with just over 1000 estimated to remain in North America.
This car is #291 of all Roadsters that Tesla ever produced and Haggerty called the Roadster a true collectable and future classic. This car comes with the original RC car, the 120V and 240V chargers and the owners manual. The car also comes with the original tool kit, soft top and a custom aftermarket waterproof cover.
The new second generation 3.0 R80 battery that was installed in 2023 - this is currently a $45,000 service - is a considerable upgrade from the original as it increased the power storage by over 50% from 53kWh to 80kWh and adds decades of dependable performance before you even need to think about a replacement. Â The car has also had replacements of the TPMS system, high voltage controller and switchpack - all done by Tesla. This is a special motorcar for a special collection.
