Roadster

I have the Single Din 2010 2.0 Model Planning to buy Amazon.com: JVC KD-R370 Single DIN In-Dash CD/AM/FM/ Receiver with Detachable Faceplate: Car Electronics Anybody know which adapter or harness i need to buy that will work with this model? Thanks in Advance!

Hey Guys i wanted to replace the wiring that goes behind the crappy jvc single din model that comes with the 2010 2.0s. I noticed some of them had some tears. If i want to replace all of the wiring that goes behind the stereo do you guys have any part numbers for the antenna, wiring harness, gps...

Looking for recommendations on which brand/model luggage lock(s) CAN owners are using on each respective adapter. The CAN-JR looks like a straight pass-through but the CAN-SR appears to rely on the top of the lock loop to be seated in the recessed channel to prevent it from turning so fit seems...

I was planning to do some leather work for the dashboard and also on the leather seats, the leather guy said i would need to remove the seats and dashboard for him since he's scared of working on Teslas lol Do i need to disconnect the 12V battery to remove and replace these items (want to be...

We talked to our primary insurance carrier which insures three of our family cars about adding our 2008 Roadster. They told us due to the age of the vehicle, and difficulty getting parts, they are not able to add this car to our vehicle list. Any suggestions?

I was going to attempt to remove and redo the leather on my dash, found the write up on how to open everything up but would love it if someone knew any roadster techs or if you've done it before, can pay for your time...

The tire shop today only had this size available in Michelins. Would there be a problem if i went down to this size on my roadster vs the recommended 225/45/17? Thanks!

I think one out of my two Roadster key fobs is broken. Had the SC replace both batteries during a service earlier today. One key fob works just fine. However, on the other, the Tesla "T" lock button does nothing. On that same fob, the middle unlock and lower trunk release button are actually...

Once the motor hits the first yellow the car backs off the power, gets slower and slower (no error message). At Laguna Seca it would blast up the hill once, but I could watch the current (A) number back off further and further the second time up the hill. Flooring it from a stop - weak...

I'm a proud owner of a "new to me" 2010 Roadster Sport. The car came with the 240 Mobile Charger but it's missing the adaptor to plug it in to the wall. Just curious if there are any Roadster owners in the SF Bay Area near Peninsula that have the 14-50 adaptor for the Roadster UMC I can borrow...

Forum member "Spiderguy" came through again, and organized a Roadster fun drive including loaning a few from his Roadster collection to lucky TMC mods. We took on the twisty roads of Mt Hamilton leading up to Lick Observatory, then had an early supper at the Grandview restaurant at the end of...

Tesla referral program members have been alerted to a new incentive program that could earn them a next generation Roadster. An update to the Tesla App’s “Loot Box” shows that referrers can get 10% off the price of a Founder’s Series Next Gen Roadster by referring 5 more Tesla owners. Each...

Has any fitted any aftermarket reverse parking sensors. I searched as best as could in the forum but could not find any information... Be curious to know what is out there... Jonathan

Anyone near Hudson Valley NY or north New Jersey willing for a test drive? I wanted to see if the Roadster could be a future weekend car. I'll buy you a beer. (after the test drive of course)

As I patiently await the release of OVMS 3.0 so I can remotely make use of its thermal management features, I was hoping someone could document what's needed to perform a "poor man's" cool down of the ESS. From what I've gathered reading previous posts, the car needs to be plugged in and I...

I'm asking for some guidance. The roadster cut a corner due to traffic, and the right side bottom panels all got damaged by the curb. One black mudflap is broken, the other three damaged. Oh, one (standard) rim too. We took it to Amato's, the only approved Tesla repairer in San Diego, and they...

I drove my Roadster to my daughter's for the TMC Connect weekend, and plugged it in to charge for the return trip. The fans came on, coolant pump started, A/C for the battery, etc. She asked, "Why is your car so loud?". She thought about it for a minute, then in a moment of inspired...

My 2010 roadster has always had this issue and I'm not sure if it happens on ALL roadsters or just mine. On a flat road, when I decelerate the regen braking kicks in and you see the Amp gauge swing to charging (OK, that's all pretty much as you would expect). When you do the same thing but go...

I didn't drive my car for about 30 days. It sat 'dark', in standard mode, with SOC falling from around 84% to 27%. It really hasn't been driven much this year (weather exceptionally wet, and too many kids activities requiring >2seats). So, yesterday I plugged it in and gave it a full charge. It...

I've tried before as another thread: Has anyone already set permanent power to the Roadster windows, to engage power windows also when car is unlocked but key removed ? It's not simply routing permanent 12V to the windows instead of the swicthed 12V. I tried such, which did not help...

I know others have done it, but I guess now it's my turn. I just picked up a Model X P100D. I have driven a Roadster for several years. I figured I would give a comparison based on my initial observations. Roadster is the quickest kick in the pants and the most fun I've ever had to drive. My...

Hi Everyone! I had my buddy buy me a Roadster from the Manheim in Hayward and unfortunately it didnt come with a charger :( The car has like 5 miles remaining on range and really want to get this thing out on the road. If anybody can help a brotha out let me know! I do have a Model S Connector...

Been away. Now I'm back. Any suggestions for things I should check before my warranty expires in August? 2011 Roadster base. Glad to be back.... Also just bought a Model X with Ludicrous mode. Best, T

Hi folks, So I'm trying to understand why it seems to take 30-ish % more time to charge my car than what I calculate it to need. Scenario: charged from 69% to 85% SoC (per the logs) in 1hr 32 minutes. Charging was at 30 amps / 240 volts (7.2kw), in Range mode. This was after a 70 mile...

Looking to maybe buy a tesla roadster... I was wondering how is life after warranty? Any good Support? What to look for when buying? How much is maintainance like? Thanks..

I did the REFUEL track day at Laguna Seca Speedway last weekend - 1.5 Roadster. Good fun. Oversteer out of turn 11 onto the straight, corrected...the tail started coming back as expected then suddenly snapped-back straight. Wasn't pretty - figure that left a mark on the track. What is going on...

A colleague of mine is looking to sell her red 2010 Roadster which was one of the 250 special edition European edition, purchased new. It has a carbon fibre roof and the usual soft top option, rear parking sensors and has recently had a new motor and PEM. The mileage is 9681 - it really has...

Essentially background plus test drive - not much new for regulars here on TMC, but a good short intro for new folks: Tesla Roadster 3.0: the electric car that sparked a revolution, revisited Also nice to see some positive attention for the Roadster generally as a piece of automotive history.:D

Hello everyone, new member here. I've been itching to drive the Tesla Roadster since falling in love with it back in 2008. I know Getaround and Turo used to have some Roadsters available on their sites, but couldn't find anything more recent. I live in the Hudson Valley region in New York not...

Greetings TMC Like many before, I have been lurking here trying to glean information before "going electric". Short personal vignette: My wife and I are in our late 60's - still working. We spent the last 5 years rebuilding an ocean going sailboat that had previously circumnavigated with the...

I just bought a replacement soft-top because after 8 years the stitching along the front and back edges was coming out and the foam on the inner layer was disintegrating. That means I have the original one to discard. Anybody need a soft-top bag? Or maybe a replacement for one of the...

I just had a Pioneer SPH-DA120 installed in my Roadster Sport, replacing an old Kenwood head unit. It really transformed the experience in my car - it feels much more like the Model S center pad, but in a Roadster form factor. People can hear me on calls much better with the mic from the Pioneer...

Selling for $120, compared to the normal $180. Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 R

Hi folks, my Roadster is fully out of charge and unfortunately in a location where towing it may prove difficult. My only option is to connect it to a nearby 120V outlet using the 120V/15 Amp spare charger (https://shop.teslamotors.com/collections/roadster/products/mobile-connec...). None of the...

So Like I said I bought a Roadster in Vegas and he says it's a 2008 Tesla Roadster 2.5 sports model with 288 hp. This is his vin number which makes me believe he has the 56C motor. I really can't find the differences between these motors anywhere but this is his vin number 5YJRE11B081000394...

Hi folks, I'm trying to wrap my mind around the Roadster's Ideal Miles display, and how that corresponds to the state of the battery in Range vs Standard vs Performance mode. This is for both charging and driving. So, 6 combinations. By digging through logs and poking at the car, I've...

Tesla Roadster next-gen: Elon Musk considers 0-60 mph target under 2-second for ‘Maximum Plaid’ The E-man's been tweeting again... Gary the snail will really need to up his game.

Still alive, courtesy of the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20070819071723/http://www.teslamotors.com:80/buy/buyPage1.php As a non-original owner, my respect for the original buyers just went up! Today in Model 3 land, people complain about giving Tesla an interest-free $1,000 loan.

I am 6'4" and I wanted to know from others around my size how they fit in the roadster?

Has anyone run into "Vehicle Alert #972: DMC FW: Accelerator Error fault"? I got this half a dozen times yesterday. Oddly enough, right after leaving the local Service Center for work on my trunk latch. Each time, I lost power and regen, and found the car coasting. Had to pull over, switch off...

I drive my Roadster every day for work, which means that I will have to go to service 2 a year according to the display of the car. Tesla have a service center pretty close to my house, but are to lazy and stupid to educate a person to be able to service my car there. Instead they want me to...

Driving home today (2010 2.0) I got the following error DMC FW: ABS Error warning ID1103 Data 0x00000400 Now have no ABS, traction control or regen. I have turned the car off / on a few times and opened / closed the charge port 7 times (can not remember if that clears some codes on the...

I have set up homelink, and can open the garage from far away with the remote that came with the opener. From the car on the other hand, I have to be right next to the gate for it to open. So I'm wondering if the antenna is connected properly or where it is so I can have look.

Selling my 2008 Tesla Roadster. Vin #104. Car has 59K miles 160 miles ideal range New stereo with bluetooth cell phone integration Great condition. Let me know if you have any questions. Bob

I previously posted about #483's journey from accident victim to head-turner. To recap: Before: After: Left unfinished was her interior, which had worn out after 120,000 miles. The leather was cracking, the color didn't make sense with the new exterior, and the broken door sills had...

Beautiful warm sunny weather today so I went out to the paved trail along the river used by joggers, walkers, bicyclists, and rollerbladers and had a lovely 2-hour walk. Got back to my car and as I was driving away there was a couple in the parking lot and the man said to the woman, "That's a...

I was scanning the Model 3 thread More efficient to open a window or use the A/C ? about whether it's better to use the AC or open the windows, and started wondering what the impact is of driving a Roadster with the top off. I understand that around town, there is no aerodynamic effect. But...

So, looks like I'm making a quick trip to SFO and San Rafael, CA this weekend to look at a roadster for sale. Looks like Saturday would be the day I will get to see the car. Was wondering if anyone in the area that has a good working knowledge of roadsters would be willing to check out the car...

I have a 2010 Roadster that I bought a few months ago. Shame on me for not doing a thorough job of researching the pros and cons of owning one. I love the car, but there are no service stations close by (I live in Naples). The closest one is in Dania Beach. Another problem is that I can't...
