A 2008 Tesla Roadster with just 600 miles is being offered for sale by a private seller, presenting what is being described as an unusually preserved example of Tesla’s first production vehicle. The car is listed with an asking price of $199,999 and currently shows more than two weeks remaining before the listing closes.
According to the seller, the Roadster has had only one previous owner and carries a clean vehicle title. It has not been previously registered overseas and remains left-hand drive. The listing identifies the car as finished in white with a gray interior and configured as a two-seat convertible. Power is delivered through an automatic transmission, with rear-wheel drive and an electric motor producing more than 185 kilowatts, or roughly 248 horsepower.
The odometer reading of 600 miles is central to the vehicle’s appeal. The seller describes the car as potentially the lowest-mileage original Tesla Roadster in existence, noting that it spent many years in storage. Because of that extended period off the road, the vehicle recently underwent service in 2025 to return it to proper operating condition.
That work was completed at Gruber Motors and included new tires, a battery update, and additional service intended to restore the car after long-term storage. The seller characterizes the Roadster as similar to a barn or warehouse find, emphasizing originality rather than continuous use.
The listing notes that service history is available and that an independent vehicle inspection has been completed. Despite the recent work, the car is being sold without a warranty and is offered in as-is condition.
Interior features listed include leather seats, sport seats, air conditioning, power windows, electric mirrors, and an AM/FM stereo. The Roadster has two doors and no traditional engine cylinders, reflecting its fully electric drivetrain.
The seller positions the vehicle as a collector car, pointing to its low mileage, originality, and the broader interest surrounding Tesla as factors that could support long-term value. The listing also references anticipation surrounding a future Roadster model as part of that appeal.
