Sell my BRZ for Tesla Roadster 2.x?

I'm considering selling my BRZ and getting a Tesla Roadster 2.0 or 2.5, which means 2010 or newer. I'd sell my car for more than an unmodified car but it will be super tough as people like to mod their cars themselves, even if it means paying labor to do so. Thought is still up in the air at this point. Since I have about $18k in parts into my car, maybe my selling price would be around $34-$38k. KBB for the car is around $21k, then add the parts, most of which I didn't paid retail for, and that comes to about my ballpark guess as to what I'd sell it for. Telsa Roadster 2008-2009 is about $60k, but the 2010 2.0 and newer models are going for $80k because they are much nicer inside. I could also part out my car completely but that would take forever to sell all the parts and so much work, probably a couple years to sell all the parts.
Hummmmm.....

Buy a house and pay it off if you have that much money to invest in depreciating assets.

I suspect at that asking price you would be sitting on it for a very long time.

Youre not going to sell for that much.

with all of the depreciation factor in, i think you better hold on to your brz for as long as possible.

you can list it at that price, hoping someone looking for the exact same set up stumbles upon it. Sort of like the "move me out" price for homes. Sometimes you get lucky.

Old technology, high repair price. For $65k you can get a brand new Porsche Boxster S!

Already have one. Next step is kids as they suck $$ dry.

I'm also considering keeping the BRZ and getting the Tesla model III, the model that's coming out in 2017 that will start at $35k and supposedly compete with the BMW 3 series. 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.
