Does anyone know what changed form version to version, i.e. 1.5 to 2.0 to 2.5? I'm looking to build a comprehensive list.

VIN #500 was the last 1.5Does anyone know what changed form version to version, i.e. 1.5 to 2.0 to 2.5? I'm looking to build a comprehensive list.
...The biggest change was 1.5 -> 2.0 (at VIN #501) where they switched to a new motor/PEM...
...Soon afterwards they introduced the sport variant....
I think in 2006 they may have made 10 EPs.
I think in 2007 they may have made 14 VPs.
I think in 2008 they may have made 17 VPs, 27 Founders' and 100 signature models. (Plus around 400 more regular production models.)
The Sport model was available at the start of the 2.0/2010 models. #502 was a Sport:
My New Roadster 2.0 Sport
I recall the transition from 2.0 to 2.5 was a little "squishy". It didn't happen at a model year changeover like 1.5->2.0 did....
Version 2.0 VIN#'s 501-?
More like 964-1464 (hmm, that is exactly 500...)Version 2.5 Vin#'s ?-2500
...
Version 2.5 Vin#'s ?-2500
...
Directional forged wheels available in both silver and black
...
Power control hardware that enables spirited driving in exceptionally hot climates
...
PEM improvements for cooling
...
Yes, hopefully TEG can add some organization.Hasn't all this been done before?
Some of the EPs, VPs, Founders and very early sig 100 started out with 1.0 drivetrain, but got upgraded/retrofitted with 1.5 as soon as it was available.So 1.0 was only the prototypes, and the first actual production Roadsters were 1.5? Interesting.
I believe that "Directional forged wheels available in both silver and black" were available for at least 2.0 and maybe 1.5. I believe that the change at 2.5 was just a different design (I thought just cosmetic).

Actually, this was a feature of the January 2009 price increase on the 2008MY which affected cars somewhere around VIN200 through VIN500. So this was, in fact, considered the standard wheel for the majority of the 2008MY cars. As you say, the iconic forged Tesla wheels became an added cost ($2300?) option.As they got close to 2010, they switched to a standard cast wheel as seen here:
And they made the forged wheel optional.
