Three new Tesla Roadsters were hidden for 10 years

Recently, we have witnessed situations where cars were hidden in barns for many years. First of all, we are talking about older cars that are often in bad condition. However, news comes from China about shipping containers with three brand new Tesla Roadsters that have been hidden for 10 years.

The cars are in pretty good condition, if we consider that they have not been driven and maintained. This small collection consists of Tesla Roadster Very Orange, Very Orange Sport and Radiant Red Sport. According to available information, all three were bought by the same customer and transported to China, where he abandoned them for unknown reasons. During the ten-year period, a storage debt was accumulated, which the seller will now pay.

Any car that has been standing for a decade, regardless of its original condition, can suffer serious degradation, but a ship transporter is not a bad place. Electric cars don’t carry with them the same problems that characterize vehicles with an internal combustion engine, but that still doesn’t mean that Roadsters will be roadworthy when their batteries are charged.

Now these three cars are looking for new owners and the sale has been announced by Gruber Motor Company.

Starman, where are you?

You may remember Starman, the doll Elon Musk sent into space in the Tesla Roadster. It was the beginning of SpaceX’s success and a new way to spread the message that one day humans will travel to distant planets.

You may be wondering, where is he at the moment? Well, thanks to Whereisroadster.com, we can find out his position in space. It is currently moving towards Mars, at a speed of at least 27,000 km / h. The current position is as much as 377 million kilometers from Earth and about 320 million kilometers from Mars.

When it comes to the condition of the car, it is not good. Scientists believe that due to radiation, all materials disintegrated, such as leather seats, glass or plastic. The only thing that could withstand high levels of radiation are aluminum parts. The cameras stopped working a long time ago. So far, Starman has completed about 2,6284 orbits around the Sun since launch.
