2008 Tesla Roadster (#26 Validation Prototype)

2008 Tesla Roadster Description

Validation Prototype #26" (one of the first cars ever to be sold to the public by Tesla!) If you're looking at this posting, you probably know everything you need to know about this incredible machine, but see the excerpt from Car and Driver's article on the 2008 Roadster at the bottom of this box. We do not have any additional accessories or features, so no, there is no hard top, no extra battery, no upgraded anything. You'll be getting the standard battery and it's original charging unit. This car is in great shape, it was used briefly for a short (less than 3 miles) daily work commute, but hasn't been driven since December 2015. Hasn't even hit 25,000 miles yet!
