Very Orange Metallic 2010 Tesla Roadster

Capturing an EV Icon: Austin's Very Orange Metallic Original Tesla Roadster Shoot

An Austin based client contacted me to shoot this Very Orange Metallic, original Tesla Roadster. I had almost forgot that these existed.

Given that the chassis is essentially a Lotus Elise, I knew it would be a rough ride. It was. What caught me off guard was the acceleration. I don’t often drive electric vehicles and forgot how that torque is applied. I can’t even imagine what a Tesla Model S Plaid would be like.

Along with the photos, I built a custom for-sale website for this car as it never went to auction.

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
