With only 27 of these registered in Canada, it was a first for me to be close to one of these. What a sharp looking EV: The kind owner was near and we talked for a bit. I was not aware the charge port has only 4 pins (Ground, 2 charge pins and pilot (no proximity) but that didn't seem to bother him. Apparently, some have converted to J1772 to enable allow charging at common level 2 chargers. His range still exceeds 300 km using 18650 cells The EV will be eligible for B.C. collector plates within 2 years enabling a possible insurance discount. Of course I invited him to join the forum, hopefully that comes to be.
If you build a spaceship, you can have a Roadster formerly owned by a rich celebrity for free! Oh, wait, was the clear.png image you attached a photo of that free Roadster from deep space?
Just an error on my part...gone now. As much as I would love to drive one - noting how low the seats are to the floor, my back would not be too happy. Easy to get in, but getting out would require a major effort. (At least this one located here on Earth)
They had a Roadster in the Murray White Rock Hyundai dealer, in the showroom, last spring. Don't know what it was doing there or who owned it. I thought I took a pic, but couldn't find it. Sure was a small thing.
My daughter owns a Lotus Elise which was the chassis that the roadster was based on. If getting into the roadster is any thing like getting in to the Lotus I can vouch that it is both literally and figuratively a pain to get in and out of. While I have owned sports and race cars my preference now is for a truck or SUV for ease of entry and exit.
