Here's the energy consumption from a typical journey... 248 motorway and A-Road miles with a 13A charge while at lunch with family (no public charging required);

and here's the current odo after 3 years, 3 months

186 sunshine miles today although the last bit was rather fast and used up the last of the battery
Now topping up on late afternoon solar before pausing for low carbon electricity overnight ready for an early morning drive
another great Roadster example.... lost 5 km range after 3 years and driving 109714 km
AFAIK @dpeilow car was on sale for £50K but don't know whether that's a sport or even what impact that has on resale values.
You'll see a few cars change hands now that the Model S has arrived and I welcome that because the new drivers will actually use the car
In the long term I suspect the value will rise with just ~55 UK cars on the road.
ok...
Motor overheating when racing... really needs to be liquid cooled.
Brakes are not up to super car quality... you need to be able to stop quickly!
Three Phase charging... it's a pain plugging into a 22kW Charging Station and sipping at 7kW. This is really noticeable in Europe where 11kW charging is common and charges the Roadster at just 3.5kW.
Custom Charging Connector... requires adaptors for Type 2 infrastructure (although it's also great that nobody else can use the HPCs so this isn't really a frustration
).Elon Musk has promised us some major Roadster updates this year and it's possible that will include some of the above
