#1124 - Red - Seattle - Salvage Auction [SOLD]

[NigelM]

The ending just got happier! Yesterday I dropped #1135 off for service in Seattle. As I pulled in, I was surprised to see #1124 in there as well. For privacy reasons I won't comment on the new owner or plans, but I think the end of this story looks like 1124 is not lost!

It's not a secret that Tesla has been buying smashed Roadsters.

I'm glad you're alive. Sorry for the accident. Insurance going to do right by you? If yes, are you going to get another (used) Roadster? Or possibly getting an S?

Any accident you can walk away from is a good one... Applies to airplanes and roadsters.

Having walked away from a 150 in worse shape than this poor roadster, i wholeheartedly disagree that there can be a 'good one'

Yeah, I guess the damage looked bad on the outside, but the important chassis components were still in relatively good shape.
I suppose with all that body damage, they could just pull off all the red panels and put another "color" on instead... :wink:

I was just wondering the other day-- how many Roadsters have been truly totalled (permanently lost to the driving population)? Sounds like another data mining project for the incomparable TEG...

Most of the 'totals' I tried to track eventually were resurrected...
I suspect the number that are completely gone is actually fairly low.

So is there anyway to acquire these uses parts? Like interior pieces and such? Or a certain wrecking yard that picks up just the tesla's ?
