Updated Roadsters are available now in Europe, Asia and Australia, while they last.
As I own a late model (produced November 2011), I should have one of the "updated Roadsters". I will have a look under the car to see if I can locate that "rear snow cover".
New options and enhanced features of the updated Roadster include:
- Exclusive encore colors - Cosmic Black, Galactic Gray and Magma Orange - with new, complimentary interior colors
- A rear snow cover and improved motor and inverter systems for even better performance in snow and ice
- Improved air conditioning for driver comfort in the hottest months
- Xenon headlamps ideal for rural night driving
- Enhanced front windscreen seals to make the cabin even quieter
- Two new Mobile Connectors available for charging in Europe and Japan
- The Tesla IEC Type 2 (Mennekes) Mobile Connector enables charging from Type 2 stations and outlets, the most common EV charging infrastructure in Europe
- The J1772 Mobile Connector enables charging from a developing infrastructure of public J1772 charge stations in Japan
