Here is a short map of public places you can still stand in front of a Tesla Roadster, starting with the Petersen Vault in Los Angeles.

Roadster Registry is for owners and lookers alike. If you want to see one in person without a private invite, start here. Deeper history lives under Original, Next Gen, 2027, and Personal. The opening news story, Roadster Registry Opens With a Visit to All Three, has photos from this stop.

Petersen Automotive Museum (Los Angeles)

The Petersen Automotive Museum keeps more than one chapter on the floor. In the Vault, the white 2017 Tesla Roadster 2.0 (Deck Model) (gift of Tesla; museum plaque: number built 1; est. 250 mph / 620 miles; tri-motor Plaid) wears the RDSTR plate. On the David and Ginny Sydorick Grand Concourse and related galleries you will also find Original hardware, including the red 2008 Tesla Roadster Founders' Series #7 (gift of Sergey Brin; 7th of 2,450 per the plaque). Off-site details and tickets go through Links. We do not invent hours or ticket prices.

Personal and private cars

Many Roadsters live in garages, not museums. Personal is where that chapter will grow. Do not publish VINs, addresses, or contact details.

Coming next

2027 is still ahead. When public display cars turn up (shows, museums, Tesla events), this guide gets another stop. Tip Contact or the directory if you know a verified public display.
