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.
