Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
I saw one of those in Menlo last weekend, but didn't take pictures because it hadn't been detailed yet.
(Didn't want to show it off dirty!)
But, what of these special colors they previewed a while back? :
Atomic Red:
Ion Blue:
Are your photos the actual version of the rendered colors (seen above) we saw before?
Somehow they don't seem quite as "outrageous" in real life...
I didn't do any color adjustment - definitely those colors rendered weren't the ones that I saw.
Yes the bulbs were just changed looks like -

I guess the stripes, like the Tesla "stripe decals", appeal to some...I'm not wild about them, but if it was the only way to get a Roadster, then I guess I could learn...
10 EPs ?
33 VPs ?
27 Founders' ?
I wouldn't try to total hoping to find a nice even number.
Some cars went to crash testing... Do you count those?
There may be some skipped VINs as well.
Don't stripes usually go the whole way down the front/back to the bottom of the bumper? I think I'd like the stripes on these cars better if they went the whole way to the bottoms of the bumpers.

+1. I saw two of these cars in person in Menlo last week when I was dropping off my car for its annual. The short stripes look dumb. They should have gone the whole way like Cunningham did from the start.

Exactly. They sort of look like rabbit teeth to me; but that's just my opinion.
S-2000 Roadster
#1244
The truncated stripes look almost like they tried to maintain the line along the bottoms of the headlight fixtures ... except that they're squared off and don't match. If they'd aligned the bottom edges of the stripes with an arc that lined up with the bottoms of the headlight fixtures then I imagine they wouldn't look so awkward.
Maybe they only had a few yards of striping left and just cut it into 5 pieces and then tried to fit them on each of the cars as best they could

Canadian Roadster Count
There are now 56 Roadsters in Canada, and there are two Canadian vehicles left including the Toronto Demo car. (Although if someone really wanted one they could "convert" an American car.)
A Very Orange roadster was just delivered last week in Ottawa, making for a total of just four vehicles locally (although only the second one owned by an individual - one is owned by Transport Canada and one by Dymon Solar). As it happens, a friend of mine works with the new owner, so I'm hoping to be able to "meet" it and get a picture sometime.

That has to be the custom build cars still left.
I'm counting 11 cars in the online inventory of USA, another 19 one in Europe, 1 car left for Japan, 3 for Hong Kong and 2 for United Kingdom/Australia, makes a total of 36 cars.
5 of them are lightning greens (just for statistics).

Really??? I thought there were still more cars still being built for Europe/Asia? Plus there are more than 27 on the inventory page (select USA, then France, then Britain and the total is higher).
