How many Roadsters will be produced?

[TEG]

There are now 56 Roadsters in Canada, and there are two vehicles 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.

I think these ones were specifically built to be sold into Canada:

• 902
• 903
• 904
• 905
• 906
• 907
• 908
• 909
• 919
• 920
• 922
• 923
• 928
• 937
• 938
• 939
• 942
• 945
• 973
• 988
• 1015
• 1028
• 1029
• 1030
• 1035
• 1036
• 1069
• 1071
• 1081
• 1109
• 1116
• 1137
• 1139
• 1145
• 1182
• 1224
• 1258
• 1262
• 1281
• 1287
• 1343

Don't know about the other 16...

Okay... gotta ask... how did you get that list?

God an TEG are moving in mysterious ways.

 

[TEG]

Cobbled together from various web searches. Not an 'official' list.

(By the way, almost half of them are Sport models.)

You're either a genius with Google, or have way too much time on your hands. Or both.

 

[TEG]

Well, I am certainly not the only one who has figured out how to make lists of exotic cars that got registered based on simple tools found on the web.
If you are persistent it isn't that hard.

I just received an email from a representative in the DC store; "Tesla is down to 11 Roadsters out of 1400 for the entire North American market."

Doug_G, you haven't noticed that TEG is the God of Internet search? You need to spend more time here at TMC.

(having a life is vastly overrated)

Yes, I have given up any hope of catching up to his number of posts.

Reporting the information Tesla Italy send me, there are 21 configurable Roadster slots left (in all Europe I think, not only Italy). Adding to that, you have time to order a configured Roadster only until 29th of November.

 

[dpeilow]

Yes the same email went out to the UK list

 

[Dragon]

Voices say there are only 11 configurable Roadsters left by now.

 

[TEG]

By the way, I think Tesla leased some Roadsters, and so the stores might get some back that could go into inventory as used...

Was told that Lotus will be making EU versions to the end of the year.

Down to 8 cars in the US. Only 1 of them is actually new!

That's not counting one of the remaining last 5 VINs, which I believe I saw at Menlo a couple weeks ago. With racing strips and CF, it was fugly though.

I have a leased Roadster... I have the option of turning it in when I get my Model S... but at this point, doesn't look like I will. The way it stands now, I will be holding on to the roadster until either: (1) they make the "new" roadster, or (2) they make the Model S Super-Sport (not yet officially announced). I have a feeling there will be fewer Roadsters returned at the end of their lease than you might have otherwise expected.

 

[Mycroft]

kgb, you just might change your mind after going for a test drive in the Model S Sport.

There are now 56 Roadsters in Canada...

I noticed that this Ontario Roadster appears to have a plate that was on a Lexus before:

I guess maybe they transferred it from one to the other?

I wonder if "NE1HRT" is "Anyone Hurt?" like for a Paramedic or something like that?
