Analyst note
The Roadster sits roughly 10% above the Coupe, at around $440,000 against $400,000, with the usual spread for mileage, ownership count and service history. Supply is thinner — 520 cars against 1,262 — but open-top hypercars historically lag closed cars in collector demand, which caps the premium rather than widening it.
