CPO Roadsters for sale in Menlo Park

[smorgasbord]

Here's what was in the showroom today:

VIN 1108:

VIN: 281:

VIN 924:

VIN 994:

Don't know pricing.


There were a bunch more Roadsters outside that might be upcoming CPO models:

Including VIN 1297 (Just before mine!), 555, 1261, 161, 334, 105, 113, 1085, 323, and V19 (which was separated from the others and had a "do not drive" sign on it).

And finally, 1128 was there, but set aside:

I thought it interesting that this custom paint job had the standard paint armor kit applied afterwards.

Very cool to see that - thanks for the pics!:biggrin: Aside from a few certified preowned's that have shown up on cars.com, we really don't get to see what's on the Menlo Park lot from over here.

In the outside pic, on the right, is that a lightning green sport model?

As seen at the Detroit auto show two years ago...

Yeah, I think so. Probably 1085.

Yeah, I think so. Probably 1085.

Scary good, TEG:

Let me know if you want individual pictures/VIN. I think I snapped a pix and a VIN for every Roadster there - except the ones in service.

Anything in Orange? I didn't see any in the pictures

I was there yesterday as well, after 3:30pm. There is an orange one in the back that I believe is for sale. It was there before xmas and parked with the fleet of roadsters. I don't think its a sport.

The singled out red/white roadster, as TEG pointed out being at the Detroit autoshow, interesting enough has a red paint job. The rest of the colors on the car being the white, black, and gray are all decals overlays.

It wasn't outside with the others yesterday morning. Maybe it was in the shop being worked on...

On the multi-color Roadster, are you sure about the decals? Look at my close-up pictures - you can see the paint armor ridge, but not any ridges from paint colors. The "T" logo on the hood in particular looked painted. Anything weird about putting paint armor on top of both paint and decals?

Thanks guys - wanted to get the info for the good people out there. Don't recall seeing preowned lightning green's until recently (e.g., in Honolulu). I would bet others are interested not only in the orange (adiggs) and the fusion red...

I believe white was the base paint color of that striped roadster. Yes, I'm certain those were decals. I saw that car for the 1st time there in December, walked up and it really grabbed my curiosity since it looked like a wicked paint job. I looked close at the color splits and saw the fine lip of the decal. Its the same decal that's used on the headlight that's Red. When I'm in there next I'll try to snap a closeup of the decals.

Its an eye catcher to say the least, a little too busy for my style though.

Does anyone know if Menlo Park has a website for CPO vehicles??? I had no luck looking for it.

Anybody have any idea what their asking prices are for these?

Too bad so many of them are outside getting exposed to the elements.

I'll ask about pricing when I'm back next week for new tires.

Tesla has done a serious job getting the used demo Roadsters into shape before selling them. I've seen them replace windshields due to small pitting for instance. The demos were sold at list price minus $1K per thousand miles on the odometer.

If people who have traded in their Roadsters would tell us what Tesla paid them, we'd have a bottom end to work upwards from.

Another old photo from Detroit auto show when it had all the decals:

What I can tell you is the Tesla is offering VERY low prices to owners (like me) on a trade. I don't want to say how low given that I am still negotiating with them (or perhaps I should say HOPE to be negotiating with them) but what I can say is that they assume a $5000 refresh allowance, an even larger 'Marketing Fee' and then they add their profit. On top of all that they state that they will sell it for a number lower than any Roadster that I have ever seen trade.

Yes, I was very disappointed. I do want the company to earn a profit and succeed so I have very mixed feelings here.

Bottom line: we are all likely to do better, as will Tesla, if we sell privately.

I am posting mine on here tonight.

They are outside only during working hours. I dropped my car off for service after they were closed (they have a key drop box) and all of the Roadsters were inside.

I was at Menlo Park on Tuesday morning and snapped a couple photos of the inventory in the back.

Pictures like this make me think EV-1. /sadface

The Nasdaq Roadster, left in last pic, I don't believe is a CPO unless there's two (this sport version and a non-sport). At least one Nasdaq Roadster is stored there and used every so often the them.

Actually, I think it's cool that more people will get a chance to own a Roadster, feeling comfortable that Tesla has gone over them and warrants them from defects. There are already more Model S owners in the US than Roadster owners worldwide, and that will be close to a 10:1 ratio by the end of the year. And while Model S can be fun to drive, there's nothing like taking a friend for a test ride in a Roadster, and even if he tries hiding the grin on his face from his wife afterwards, his messed up hair gives it away.

I only wish I had enough hair to actually get messed up after driving.

I'm happy for the new Roadster owners. That's not what I meant.

I meant visually, the Roadster pictures...

... remind me of these two pictures:

(The film can definitely make you somewhat emotional, even if you come late to the story.)
