A Tesla on the auction block

Not what I'd call cheap but still looks nice. Under carriage damage.

Wonder how long it as been/will be sitting there unplugged. Hope they don't "brick" the battery!

Has anyone put an engine in a Tesla yet?

Current bid is about 25k, why bother? For not much more you could buy a regular Elise ready to go. I wish they had shown photos of the damage.

I'm sure a Tesla would be cool, but the price of the exotic parts is a bit scary. I did a little searching, and this is what the coil for a Tesla looks like:

Sure, it looks wicked cool, but I bet that sucker is expensive!

i'm thinking it's been sitting under a pine tree - look at all the crap on the cowl/heat exchanger under the hood/trunk. thats what all my cars look like, and my yard is full of pine trees.

yes, it's called a lotus

Well, yes the Elise of course.

But I have a strange desire for an LSx powered Tesla. Might that be just about the only car that nobody has put an LS in?
