Roadster 472 - S 440
I think it means that they base the price on the original MSRP and adjust it by a fixed depreciation rate based on age (as opposed to actually researching the current market value)

Mine isn't Very Orange but it's also a very loud color being Fusion Red. My insurance company never asked what color it was, and my insurance ended up only being about $30/mo more than it was for the Nissan LEAF it replaced.
Would you mind me asking what insurance provider you have? I'm currently on 21st Century with my CR-Z, and just called, and apparently they have never insured a Roadster. The guy stated he'd been working there nine years and never had this issue...very strange. I'm assuming at this point I'll have to switch insurance companies, but I would love to have the best rate possible.
A new guy question to all owners willing to help - can anyone explain to me how to find the CAC screen in the VDS? I remember reading about it on here over a year ago before my last potential purchase, but I can't seem to find that thread.
Looks like I'm Houston bound today to test drive and check out the condition of my potential new Very Orange child. Wish me luck!
Jimmy, that sounds great! I'll look into them. I've heard great things about State Farm regarding Roadster insurance as well. Looks like I've got some shopping to do.

I've been under the impression that all Roadster come with a 110v cable / charging option. With my 2.5, it's a yellow cord that is separate from the UMC - Roadster plug on one end, and 110 plug on the other.
It looks like everything is working out, and I'm taking delivery of my long-awaited Roadster this weekend!!!!!
If you can't get a HPC from Tesla, you could always try contacting Clipper Creek directly and get a 90 or 100 amp charge station directly from them...you'd need a "Can" adapter from Henry, but you should have a J1772 to Roadster adapter in your charging arsenal anyway...
