This 2011 Tesla Roadster Sport features a 53-kilowatt-hour battery pack powering a three-phase AC induction motor paired with a single-speed transmission. The car is finished in Arctic White over beige and saddle leather, and equipment includes the Carbon Fiber Exterior Package, a black removable soft top, 16″ and 17″ forged aluminum wheels, heated sport seats, air conditioning, carbon-fiber interior trim, navigation, and Pioneer touchscreen infotainment. The seller purchased the car on BaT in March 2019 and mechanical and cosmetic work under current ownership exceeded $44k. This Roadster has 10k miles and is offered with 110- and 220-volt charging cables, an owner’s manual, service records, spare tires, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.
The Tesla Roadster was based on the aluminum tub from the contemporary Lotus Elise, with which it shared its windshield and windshield frame. The remainder of the carbon-fiber body panels were unique to the Tesla, and it utilized a 2″ longer wheelbase than the Elise. This example is finished in Arctic White and features the optional Carbon Fiber Exterior Package which added a carbon-fiber front splitter, roll bar, rear wing, and a rear diffuser. Additional exterior details include a removable black soft top, an exterior charging port, and LED taillights.
Black-finished 16″ and 17″ forged aluminum wheels are mounted with Yokohama Advan Neova tires. The Roadster Sport was factory-equipped with traction control as well as adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars, and the suspension was rebuilt in March 2024. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs with a regenerative braking system. Full paint protection film was applied to the exterior in 2022, and the TPMS sensors were replaced.
The heated sport seats are upholstered in beige and saddle leather that extends to the door panels. Carbon-fiber trim accents the door pulls and sill plates, and appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, and Bluetooth-capable Pioneer touchscreen infotainment.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a kilowatt usage gauge, and a digital vehicle-range bar. The digital odometer indicates 10k miles, approximately 3k of which were added under current ownership.
A 53-kilowatt-hour battery pack powers a three-phase, 375-volt AC induction motor featuring a hand-wound stator. Factory-rated output was 288 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque in Sport specification, which is delivered to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner single-speed transmission. Work performed in 2022 by Gruber Motor Company in Phoenix, Arizona included a Level 2 Battery Repair & Recovery service, rebuilding the Power Electronics Module (PEM), installing an OVMS with K-line expansion board, and replacing the PEM cooling duct and fan as well as the battery cooling pumps and the rear trunk struts. A 2024 service consisted of replacing the S7 battery sheet.
