After arriving in China, the Roadsters were left sitting in sea containers at a port, accruing storage charges, though Gruber notes that the charges are being paid for by the seller.





If the trio of all-electric vehicles fail to find buyers in China, Gruber Motor said that they will be brought back to the USA by mid-May where they will be sold to the highest bidder.

“What we do not yet know is if the ESS pack Service Plugs were pulled before shipment, and even more intriguing, if they were, is there any life left in the packs after 13 years of storage. We will not know until they are retrieved and fired up.

“We also do not know how many, if any miles were on odometers from testing/delivery of new Roadsters.
Once, or if the Roadsters come back to the US, they will be shipped to Gruber Motors for a full technical review.”, says Gruber Motor.
