This 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport is a non-driving project that is finished in Radiant Red Metallic over gray leather upholstery. The car is equipped with a three-phase electric induction motor linked with a single-speed transmission, as well as a black soft top, an integrated rear spoiler, forged 16″ and 17″ wheels, a push-button gear selector, and a Pioneer head unit. An upgraded 80-kWh R80 battery pack was installed in 2023, and the battery is said to require replacement. This Roadster was acquired by the current owner on BaT in June 2023 and is now offered on consignment in New York by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with service records, manufacturer’s literature, three key fobs, a tool kit, a charger, a clean Carfax report, and a Florida title.

The Tesla Roadster chassis was based on the contemporary Lotus Elise, and this example’s carbon-fiber composite body panels are finished in Radiant Red Metallic. Exterior details include a black soft top, hood vents, a single windshield wiper, a black-finished roll bar, a rear spoiler, a rear diffuser, and LED taillights. Loose lenses are visible inside the headlight assemblies, and close-up photos of paint blemishes and scuffs are viewable in the gallery below.

Forged 16″ and 17″ seven-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama Advan tires. The car features a regenerative braking system assisted by AP Racing calipers up front and cross-drilled rotors at each corner. A service order dated February 2023 notes the front tires need replacement, and curb rash is present on both rear wheels.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in gray leather, complemented by color-coordinated door panel inserts. A Pioneer touchscreen head unit was installed under previous ownership, and factory equipment included cruise control, air conditioning, a push-button gear selector, and a digital vehicle information screen.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a combination speedometer and tachometer. The selling dealer estimates that the chassis has approximately 27k miles.

The 375-volt three-phase AC induction motor is linked with an 80-kWh “3.0 Upgrade” lithium-ion battery pack as well as a single-speed BorgWarner direct-drive transmission. The upgraded battery pack was installed in 2023, but is now inoperative, according to the selling dealer. A replacement PEM fan was installed at that time.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other reported damage.
