2008 Tesla Roadster - Loaded

2008 Tesla Roadster - Radiant Red
Miles: 22,000

I'm the original owner, although the history on the car shows 2. I transferred it into my trust 2 years ago.
I drive it everyday. Amazing car.
Personal circumstances force me to sell it, otherwise I would keep this car forever.
It has Navigation, upgraded stereo, leather interior and carbon fiber upgrades.
I am also including the following:

High powered home wall connector
240 mobile connector
110 mobile connector
J1772 mobile adapter
Radiant Red Hardtop

Total cost of the accessories if bought separately is over $4500.00

Tesla is an amazing company that provides incredible customer service.

I still have 1 year left on my warranty, but it has been completely hassle free.

$74,500 for all that doesn't seem that bad...

Oh.no... I met Marco. Nice Guy... I know he loved that car. He and I were at the Oakland airport launch of their charge stations about a year ago. I bet it's in great shape.

Odd license plate choice for that car, though.

[TEG]

Yeah, I guess he is thinking ESS (battery pack) output, not PEM to motor...

I detailed this tesla so he could sell it. He tried to get out of paying me, not returning any of my calls. So be careful if you purchase it from him. Get everything in writing and dont take or believe any verbal promises from him. By the way the car turned out awesome and when I asked him what was wrong with the detail he could not give me any reasons. I have run across guys like him in the past and they say there is something wrong with the detail to get out of paying. Gives you a glimpse of what kind of guy he is.

Does anyone know how much impact 24.5k miles has had on the overall lifespan of the battery? This seems to be one of the highest mileage Roadsters I've seen posted (with the exception of the 200k Roadster reported by Elon in the Analyst Meeting online last week).

[wiztecy]

From my understanding it really depends on how hard the batteries were driven and the overall state of charge (SOC) of the battery.

For example, if the owner did mostly "range mode" charges and charged the battery up to 100% and drained it down to 2%, the batteries won't have the same lifespan as someone who uses a "standard mode" charge and keeps the batteries between 20%-85%. Secondly if performance mode was used and fast discharging of the batteries occurred for the majority of the time, that too would have an impact as compared to someone who drives the car like a daily commuter and not like a race car.

The real evidence will be in the car's logs.

Also the SOC is a sign as well, meaning that you won't get 190 to 195 ideal miles in a standard mode nor your 240 - 245 miles in range mode if the batteries have degraded.

Does anyone have a link to the 200k mile Tesla? I'm curious what his charging pattern was and if he had the original battery as well as what his current SOCs are.

It would be very useful if the current owners of cars that are up for sale could post the car logging for all to analyze. It would help greatly in reassuring people that might be "on the fence" about the condition of the car.
