It may be too practical for me though being it's a 4 door sedan car. If they make it in a 2 door then perhaps. ;) I've also considered buying another Lotus Elise, but the prices are high since it's summer so perhaps I'll look around again in the winter.
Get a lotus!

The new Tesla is going to sell like hot cakes, better get on the presale early. I'm considering investing in Tesla heavily as well.

Have you driven a Roadster? They're cool, but not production-quality vehicles. The 2.0+ is much, much better but personally I couldn't live with one.

And as far as bang for your buck selling, you're best to part your mods out. I know you know that. But I doubt you'll get any interest at the price you're talking about.

I already had one so I already know what they are about so at least I'd know what I'd be getting into if I do get one.

I almost bought stock in Tesla when they went public and it was the only time I considered buying stock, but chose not to. I chose poorly. ;)

Yes I'll be preordering a Tesla model III once pre-orders become available, or at least that's the decision I'm leaning towards out of all my options. My second option I'm considering is buying a Zero S electric motorcycle. Test drove one and it was pretty nice. So easy to ride and still fast. Only maintenance would be brakes and tires.

I almost got to drive the roadster at a drive event but they mixed up my reserved spot. :( I had a Elise for a couple years so that's sort of similar, but not the same obviously.

I'm torn here. The T3 could be awesome especially if its AWD. I very much want to get into an electric sport vehicle next. Currently its either an unannounced Tesla coupe, or a BMW i8. My goal is one or the other in 4 years or less.

Stick to the BRZ.

Why do you buy and sell cars every year or two(guessing from your sig)? It initially seems like you get bored with cars quickly, but then you're considering getting another lotus when you already had one before. It's confusing. You should probably be going for short term leases to appease that desire while limiting massive financial loss. Or buy older cars for much lower value to appease the desire. Essentially you'd be throwing away 20k in such a transaction like you describe.

You know me too well and I agree that I think I'll keep the car. I should keep and pay off at least one car in my life. ;)
