Roadster - stowage space

preferably someone who owns or has owned a Roadster - can you tell me if the 2 dividers that form 3 the compartments of stowage behind the driver and passenger seat - can these dividers be removed?

or are they fixed permanently in place?

They can fold down flat on the floor of the shelf.

I dont suppose I could ask you ( or another Roadster owner reading this ) , - Do you happen to know or could measure the dimensions of this " load area " behind the driver & passenger seat?

Many many thanks.

Iv decided definitely Roadster, but Jul 2018 white with dark grey interior, 5k miles and £65k or

Dec 2019 Copper with brown/grey interior, 150 miles and £75k

having trouble deciding. Spec is v similiar on both cars and £10k cost difference.

My heart says the copper looks nicer, but my head says take the £10k depreciation that hit the last owner of the white car and lose less when comes resale time as the white with dark grey leather may be easier to sell on than the copper car.

My two cents is that the white really contrasts nicely with th black and grey (my car). My previous i8 was a 2016 coupe in ionic silver. Current roadster is in white. Again I think the white sets off the lines of car very nicely.

Maybe it is of interest:

Fits all space in the roadster perfectly. But it also fits 3 normal cabin size trolleys if selected carefully.

Does the divider fold flat in the latest coupe too?

I do not think that the coupes have dividers as they have rear seats. At least my 2026 i8 coupe did not. If you are speaking about the divider in the trunk, it just lifts out. My coupe did not have the trunk divider but my roadster does so maybe the new coupes do not have this.

New coupes have divider in trunk that is removable.
I would opt for the White roadster. Looks great w black wheels IMO.
