    Jeremy said at the LA rally that it was "won" three times. Problem was they did not bet the max amount which is required for taking it home.

    Hope the casino takes the car out for a spin once in a while. The car must be driven.

    It had some scrapes on the bottom of the front spoiler(pretty healthy IMO), but that may be from the rough entrance/exit at the MP store???

    Was just there and the car was WON!

    A Roadster was parked by the charger and when I went in and asked where the slot car (pun) was I was told a woman from NY had won it last Sunday. They were taking pictures with the car and winner today. (I missed that but my car saw it while it filled up)

    She took the car ($140,000 list Sport) instead of the $80K cash. I checked the miles at 107 and advised the Valet to top it off before shipping tomorrow.

    What a crazy coincidence I was there this week.

    Will post pics later

    Well that foils my plans...

    At least someone will get to enjoy it rather than having it sit there forever with the battery lifespan clock ticking.

    Maryellen Cobb, a resident of New York, recently won a Tesla Roadster while playing a penny slot machine at theCosmopolitan of Las Vegas resort. The zero - emission hybrid vehicle was valued at approximately $150,000.


    Penny slots!?

    By the way TEG, it's VIN 1012.


    PS
    That's my car in the background.

    As I recall it was Quarter slots, and you had to play 5 at once ($1.25) for a chance to win the Roadster.
