Three Tesla Roadsters found abandoned in shipping container after 10 years could be worth over half a MILLION
THREE Tesla Roadsters have been found abandoned in a shipping container after ten years – and they could be worth over half a million pounds.
The electric sports cars were manufactured in 2010, have never been driven and appear to be in pristine condition.
Car experts believe that the batteries might be affected as the cars haven’t been driven for so long.
Apparently, the three high-end models were abandoned in a shipping container at a Chinese port.
They found a Roadster Sport in a Radiant Red finish, along with an entry-level model and another Sport, both in the Tesla Very Orange paintwork.
All were packed with unopened boxes in the boot.
The Teslas were bought by the same person and shipped to China, SupercarBlondie reports – although it’s unknown why the buyer abandoned the expensive EVs in the first place.
Gruber Motors is offering the three Roadsters as a set, but they are also open to selling them individually.
The Tesla specialists say they are being upfront and honest with potential buyers about the condition of the cars.
“What we do not yet know is if the ESS pack Service Plugs were pulled before shipment, and even more intriguing, if they were, if there is any life left in the packs after 13 years of storage,” it said on the listing.
“We will not know until they are retrieved and fired up.
“We also do not know how many, if any, miles were on the odometers from testing/ delivery of the new Roadsters.”
The cars will be shipped back to the US by mid-May if the seller does not manage to find new buyers.
This comes after an incredible car graveyard in an abandoned mansion was revealed in a video online.
