Roadster

Since the last service, i have on the little LCD display at the odometer miles and at the central screen kilometers. When I go into the settings menu it looks to me like I change the setting on the central screen only, but not on the little LCD screen. The manual, is not available to me right...

I own an original very orange roadster. I only have 5,000 miles on it, I am contemplating the 3.0 upgrade to retain the value of the car. I am concerned that it might effect acceleration. Tesla is not able to answer this question. Any answers here? Thank you! G

Sad to announce that I've sold my 2011 Roadster Sport as of the end of this month. I think many of you were aware that I'd been considering selling ... new area of the country, heavy snow part of the year, and an X in the driveway - I just wasn't driving it like I should. Like it deserved. I...

Going into MyTesla today, saw the following note related to Tesla update today of supercharging and referral program. Background: I am 2nd owner on a Roadster. I have not owned S or X before. I have a Model 3 reservation. It's good to know that I can get unlimited supercharging on a future...

Since I haven't seen something like that on the int. forum... here's a link to a guy in Austria who right now developed a prototype for 3 phase charging of the Roadster (less than 20 kg and no big transformer....) EV-Lade Technologie – EVAB if those guys can offer a reasonable price (there's...

Here is the VDS I took my 1.5 to the drag strip and learned a few things. First is my car has lost .2 seconds in the 1/4 mile over the last 7 years. Horsepower also dropped from 241 to 235 as well. I assume this is due to battery aging and hopefully will return (plus some) with the new...

Just came across this sad sight for sale. No information in the posting other than it comes with "lots of parts". Tesla Roadster

I totally admit to being apple biased... Pioneer launching 5 new aftermarket CarPlay receivers including 7-inch single-DIN model Think it would actually clear the air vents?

Are the sideview mirrors on the Roadster (specifically a 1.5) the same as a Lotus Elise of the same vintage? Want to bring a Roadster inside a building that's doorway is just a couple of inches too narrow, and I was thinking of having the local Lotus dealer remove the mirrors and reinstall them...

Sold to a gentleman and his wife from Arlington, Virginia on 5-17-2017. I am happy to pass this magnificent Roadster, ' TESS " ,onto a younger family, who can continue to; " ENJOY the RIDE ". Dean

After I was "pushing" going uphill a bit harder, I had the Message "Power System Service required" (together with "FAULT") I could not find ID 1456 in any listing. (cooling of HV and Battery?) Car drives and charges normally. When dismissing message it goes away but comes back after a while...

CHANGING OUT ALPINE RADIO IN TESLA 2.5 ROADSTER FOR XTRONS ANDROID HEAD UNIT Some of the information mentioned here has been mentioned on other threads - I wanted to try and put it all together so it could be easily accessed. I wanted to add more photos but it seems I am limited to 10 per...

Starting up a thread for us to compile photos and links to the rarest of rare sales & marketing gems that Tesla produced throughout the years. Here are a few to get things started... Roadster #2500 Build Book (discussed here) 1:18 Scale Models (discussed here) Sig 100 Laser-Etched Glass...

Hi everybody, I got a new failure displayed. HVAC: Coolant Pump OverCurrent. ID1441 press to dismiss works, but it comes up again after a while. Any suggestions what to do or how to repair? Thanks, Frank

As we all do, I've got the TMPS error on my Roadster sometimes. What's Tesla charge to replace them? Thanks.

This is speculation, but here is what I just experienced: I put new tires on the car, and they didn't pay attention when they remounted them... They swapped the rear wheels left/right. I told them my sensors would be out of wack, and they need to fix it. They said "no problem we can reprogram...

Building a Lotus Evora with a Tesla Electric Motor

Tesla co-founder Martin Eberhard is back with another electric vehicle startup. According to his LinkedIn profile, he’s now chairman and chief technology officer of a company called InEVit Inc. According to a trademark application from InEVit, the company aims to commercialize energy storage...

Any one need one of these? Offers?

I just saw a facebook post (reliable source) that Tzero 2, alongside a number of Tesla Roadsters, a Model S, an EV Smart, and an ACR Viper were destroyed in a building fire at Gruber. They were all being stored, fire is not related to a car. Does anyone have more information?

I check the Tesla Shop pretty frequently. Lately I have noticed that a number of parts that were out of stock are now available for purchase again. Carbon fiber door sills, carbon fiber hard tops, the Roadster High Power Wall Connector, and others. I just ordered the carbon fiber interior set...

So quite simply, can anyone please tell me what the difference is between Very Orange and Magma Orange? I know the Magma Orange was offered near end of life for the roadster (2012ish) in limited markets (Europe and Asia, but not North America). But specifically, what is the comparison of the...

So....been patiently waiting for the right car to go on the market, but, yes that patience is wearing thin. The longer I wait, the more research I do, the more restrictive my requirement are becoming. Not to go into all of the details of that, but the one major requirement was it HAS to be...

While I was tearing the insides of my dashboard apart today I came across an electronic box in the space forward of the running boards. It was in a plastic bag - I knew the previous owner had something like this and said that I can remove it. Well I did and then afterwards nothing would work -...

There seems to be a lot of conjecture as to where this is located. I have/had an Alpine IVA-W520R head unit - it is almost ready to be sold as it is now out and I'm in the process of installing a new Android 6 head unit. Anyway I have just noticed that the fwd left channel seems to be out. It...

I have a NIB HPWC for a Tesla Roadster Looking for a new home. Anyone looking? Make me an offer.

Anyone know where this is (if there is indeed one) on a 1.5 and is it remotely user serviceable? thanks

This Roadster has 77k miles on it and is a "Sport" model. If I bought this it would be a daily driver. I did an extended test drive and noted two things and would appreciate feedback. This particular Roadster has a slight shimmy at about 35 MPH. It could have been as low as 20 MPH, I'm...

One of our customer's Roadster had a fatal battery error (car would not turn on). I forgot the numerical value of the error code, but the nomenclature was "Sheet 9", which I assume to be the 9th sheet of 9 sheets of cells in the battery pack. Of course, the car was locked in Park, so we got a...

I have my 2010 2.5 Fusion Red Tesla Roadster( it is not the " Sports" model ) for sale on Autotrader and I am considering an offer of a 90 day , $4000.00 battery repair warranty to the purchaser of the Roadster , which is presently for sale @ $54,900.00. During the first 90 days of ownership...

Haven't purchased a OVMS for my 2010 v2.0 roadster, but wonder where to purchase it or if it is still available. Is v3.0 a hardware or software version?

Has anyone ever encountered a problem where you disconnect the charging cable from you roadster, close the charge port door, and the vehicle won't let you put it in gear to drive away because it thinks the charge port door is still open? i've checked that the door closes securely and that...

Customer gave me a 2008 roadster but the battery will not hold a charge is it worth investing any time or money into this vehicle it's got under 20k on it

What are the wheel specifications of a EU 2.0 Roadster sport (or are all variants the same)? I am interested in OEM values of PCD, offset (ET), center bore, wheel nuts/bolts/lugs specs etc.

While detailing my Roadster I pulled the bonnet release handle to clean the underside and the windshield wiper arm fell into the gap. The arm must have been broken some time earlier and leaning against the rear edge of the bonnet, so shame on me for not noticing. The last time the car was...

Anyone run into any issues with their rubber seals degrading and potentially causing more wind noise? There is a rubber seal on the upper driver side windshield that is deteriorating, not sure what the options are to replace the piece (do they even carry these in stock?), or some quick...

I think I posted about this last year, my gear shift buttons are showing some wear. I was wondering if anyone's had them replaced with new? (And the cost associated with that) - also wondering if I got the parts if this was a possible DIY job? I'm hoping someone here maybe has taken this...

Hi all, has anyone else seen ideal miles increase after charge completion? I have noticed it three times now, and wonder if this has any significance. Once it went from 180 to 185, the other times just a couple of miles. My CAC is 155.54, standard charge usually ends up in the mid 180's, and...

Hi. I have a couple of long roadtrips in my roadster each year. I always reset the trip counter before I start and have noticed that when it passes 1000 km it starts to count from 0 again and the Wh/km meter jumps to 99.9, and stays that way. Anyone else seen this?

Over the past 2 months the public has been allowed to view and vote on which 2 Tesla Roadsters would be auctioned off at a wine auction on April 29, 2017. While there is no definitive choice yet, as the voting is still being counted, one of the 2 Roadsters will be auctioned; one of the...

What does the abbreviation DMC mean?

Quick question to the more experienced Roadster drivers... I understand that driving in rainy weather carries a cost in terms of range, due to pushing all that water out of the way. Not counting the effects of wind, what is the range cost for driving at 65 mph on wet roads, vs the same speed...

I purchased a Tesla J1772 adapter cable years ago when they first came out - never used it. Tried a Leaf J1772 charging cable once just to test - no go. Just got a cheap Duosida charging cable to replace the Leaf cable that blew... the Duosida cable works great for the Leaf but no go on the...

This concerns me. I searched TMC for past posts about whether or not the Lotus Elise windshield fits the Roadster and couldn't find any information. I assume it does not? How much did Tesla charge you for a new Roadster windshield and install? I don't need a new windshield yet. Just got a 9mm...

Elon just tweeted again about the new Roadster. His tweet stating that it will be a true convertible. This is all great, and got my heart beating quickly, but it raises a few questions. First, would most Roadster owners be interested in trading in their existing car for the new one (assuming...

I know Tesla didn't do model years, and instead did revisions (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5). However, bluebooks, auto-sale websites, etc, all work off of model year. So it would be helpful to know what I can list my car as. My car is a 2.5 with a construction date in December of 2010. I believe the...

Hi everyone, Looking for another Tesla for my "Green is Beautiful" photoshoot in the Bay Area. This is to benefit charity and is just a fun project. We are looking for any model except for Model S in black, white, titanium and red. Please PM me for more details.

In case anyone is interested, there's a new trip planning tool being developed for the Model S/X which runs locally on your phone or tablet. There's no direct support for Roadsters (yet), but I found it does a reasonably good job at simulating the Roadster if you select the Model S/60, and...
