The Tesla Roadster chassis was based on the contemporary Lotus Elise, and the seller states this example is one of 26 built that is finished in Brilliant Yellow Metallic. Features include a body-color removable roof panel, a single windshield wiper, a rear diffuser, hood vents, and LED taillights.
Staggered-diameter wheels with painted pockets were mounted with 175/55-16 front and 225/45-17 rear Yokohama Advan Neova tires in preparation for the sale. Braking components include AP Racing front calipers, cross-drilled rotors, and a regenerative braking system. The seller notes that two wheels were replaced, and that the brake pads and rotors were also replaced in preparation for the sale.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather, while carbon-fiber trim accents the center console. Appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, a vehicle information display, a three-position aluminum gear lever with perforated leather trim, and heated seats as well as Blaupunkt speakers linked to a JVC stereo with navigation.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and an LCD screen with a battery range readout. The digital odometer indicates 17k miles, approximately 30 of which were added by the seller.
The 53-kWh lithium-ion battery pack is paired with a 375-volt AC-induction motor, and a cooling system with electric fans is located in the front trunk. Factory-rated output was 288 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a BorgWarner single-speed transmission.
