Clean, low-mileage examples are currently valued between $60,000 to $80,000, driven by the excitement surrounding this model's groundbreaking features and heritage. As collectors seek original paint and specific halo colors like Performance Blue and Soultronic Orange, documentation of the vehicle’s service history, battery warranty status, and any firmware revisions is crucial. Given the collector-tier interest, it’s strongly recommended that donors consult a qualified appraiser to accurately assess their vehicle’s value and document its provenance before making a donation.
