A real “time capsule” has been spotted in Ukraine – the first generation Tesla Roadster in the Sport version. The car looks as if it has just arrived from the past decade, as until now almost no one had seen it on the roads of our country.
This electric sports car was a legend in its time: a compact coupe based on the Lotus Elise with a battery instead of a gas tank and a Tesla badge instead of the classic British logo. For the years 2008–2012, it was a real revolution that laid the foundation for all modern Model S, 3, X, and Y.
By the way, old-timers, are you here? Because back during Yushchenko’s presidency, there was a similar specimen in Dnipro. One of the local millionaires brought a Tesla Roadster for his collection – at the time, it looked like science fiction, since electric cars on our streets were almost mythical creatures.
So now, when another Roadster Sport has been found in Ukraine, it can be said that the history of electric cars in our country has much deeper roots than it seems at first glance. Watch the video of the Tesla Roadster in the TopGir Telegram channel
