How long is the type 2 cable and what power (amps) is it rated for? Live in Sweden so might be interested. But I also have an broken extra original charger I have had thaughts of converting to type 2 myself.

My Roadster has always been connected to power and in standard-charge (Like 83-85%) something since new. Not so hot in Sweden but the CAC is 155,5 and that is roughly 97% capacity from new. It has only been driven 8070 miles since new (13000km) I get like 191 miles (309km) in range on standard...

Tesla Roadster Sport 2.5 säljes i Nacka - Blocket this is a nice one in sweden. It has 150,5 on the CAC for the batterycapacity and that is really good. (I have not seen the car but have spoken to the owner and seen picture of CAC reading.)

I think most Roadsters (unfortunatelly) in the future will end up at museums or private collectors. In that setting it may not be worth for the ”caretakers” to have them in drivable state. So they probably will have dead batteries. I also think the value will keep rising because of that...

Regarding different km-reading when charging. I think it displays it a bit confusingly different in the instrumentcluster and also compared with the VDS-screen depending on which mode you charge it in. So the mechanics might have changed the charge mode that maybe could explain different...

Tesla cars definately comes i different sizes!

Sent a mail to: [email protected] the 1:st of february. Got a reply on the 9:th of februari that my Roadster (in Sweden) now is visable at my account:).

Does the charge cable has to be disconnected from the car to be able to take the logs?

I used ”Gojaks” to turn the car around. To be able to use the towring behind numberplate. And winch it up on a flatbed truck.

Here are pictures of how it looks. Mine was also broken one one side (In the 2 top pictures you can se that the oval axel in the center hole is missing one one side). The lever easy gets bent and broken when one tries to take it out from the trunk. I ordered a new plug when I discovered that...

Had the same "firmware mismatch" i april. A restar of the VMS did not help. Tesla put in new software and everything worked after that. But now I have new problems with a lot of errors.

I have no idea why it reads 0. Maybe because it is not charging at the moment?

186-188 miles in std charge. CAC 155,51, 2.0 produced oct 2009, original battery. Car has only run 7400miles since new. Always standardcharged on low amps household socket. Cold climate. Former owner only has rangecharged once and always driven carfeully. New PEM two and a haly years ago. So...

Mine have been kept in Standard mode for 10 years from previous owner. Very seldom driven during the years, only 7450miles. Live in cold Sweden and still have roughly 97% capacity in the original battery. Have CAC 155,51 and get roughly 187 miles range in Standard charge. So I would say judging...

Have one on the key since I bought my Roadster used last summer. Probably someting they gave to the original owner?

No one really knows why it happened. But next time I got the advice to use a newly formated and empty USB to get the logs. Actullay the Tesla SC didn´t charge me anything for the job, including the small service that they did on the car. Excellent customer handling! Our best guess is that...

Today Tesla put in new firmware in the car and the problem now is solved. Gruberpower can also help if you end up with the same problem. You can take out the VMS yourself and send it to them and they can fix it.

My Precious!

Grubercompany have looked into it and they think the car only needs an update of the VMS to solve the problem. This is the explanation I got. "-The firmware.rc file sits in a folder called /flash on the VMS, but that folder is copied to the log file every time you download a log file. Use 7Zip...

Here are som more photos of what the display are showing

Thanks for all the advice! The first log i got on the red USB was probably corrupted since it was only 6,2MB, then I tried a new one immedeately after and it was more normal 9,2MB. Then tried with another USB and also got 9,2Mb. So my guessing is that something happened during the writing of...

The red fault lamp still was lighted with the VWS disconnected. Should I try another way of rebooting it?. I know there is a command in the servicemenue to shut the VMS off? Could also take away the batteryplug i guess. But not sure in what order things has to be done. I think I can reach the...

Disconnected both big cables on the VMS for 30sec. But nothing changed unfortunately. The switch on the chargeport seems to be ok since I get another red charginglight if I open the chargeport and it goes away if I close the chargegport.

Took the logs from the car and now the car got softwareproblems! Hade a 60km drive last day and charged the car during the night. Descided to take the logs in the morning. Maybe made a really bad decision and took an original red Tesla USB (from when the car was new 2010, newer used it myself...

Previous owner and now I always has it connected and set on standardcharge.(86-88%?) always on a std householdsocket low amps. Like 2kW. I think when we looked at the logs it had only been rangecharged twice in it’s whole life. Mostly because previous owner only used if for shorter trips. It...

During 10 years nu dramatic. Ordinary service, brakes all around due to car been driven so little. (Only 11500km in 10 years) Window lift motor replaced. TPMS standard issues. And finally a replacement by the PEM that started failing when Tesla had it in their care (service). So they took...

When looking at the mailadress it has xxxNAxx in it. Could this mean that it currently only is a service for North America owners? I’m from Sweden, 2:nd owner. Have not got any e-mail. Have the Roadster visable in the Tesla app. (Only Tesla I have is the Roadster) and it seems like I could...

It was very slooow workers doing the job. So they probably did it very carefully and with a bit trembling hands and a lot of waterbreaks.

You have seen this link for a kind of modern update for the 2.0/2.5? Finally! A modern stereo for single-DIN Roadsters

Visited it last week. Had a COC on 132 or 134 if i remember correctly. (Remember transforming it to 83% capacity on my calculator) Checked the errorcodes and saw the common TPMS-errors + one a bit more worrying saying ”Extremley hot...” and then I couldn’t read any more from the display...

Schhhh...don’t mention it so the car can hear it. It might get upset and start throwing errorcodes at you

I thought I share this deligthful moment with you friends. Nice to realize that my nice Roadster has sort of grown up! I mean many cars go to heaven when they become 20. So it maybe is in the middelaged then? Or for beeing a modern electric car its definately becoming a veteran!

No, just a 10 year old std-cartrailer. Loading area 16,5x6,5 feet. The only thing is that the Roadster is really heavy at the back. So have to have it loaded rather much forward compared to other cars. And the Pick-up (VW Amarok) is 6 years old but only done 34000miles. I have also registred a...

Nice to here there are people working on Roadsters close to Sweden! No problem going there if I need some help, since I have a trailer for it

A theory. The misaligned duct made the fan struggle harder =drawing more power/amps =the connectors then was burned/overloaded so then they had/have less good mechanical contact than before. But then I read that they have changed the connectors but this overload could have happened anywhere in...

A simple solution could maybe a 12V relay with direct feed from the 12v battery to fan(s) to ease the burden on the power coming through the PEM/connectors? (The power from te PEM would only control the relay) Will probably not work if the fans are not a simple on/off type. Since the fans...

Check this thread. Could be worth contacting the mentioned European companies that work on Roadsters. They might have knowledge of ”crashed cars” with functional batteries or other alternatives. Independent Roadster Service & Repair Shops

At least i Sweden Carfax is pretty much useless. Since i doesn’t include accidents, salvage title and so. And the Swedish register uses registration plate no if you want to search. So not so useful knowing VIN here. Think it is the same i most of Europe. No big ”database” to find information...

Mine is 10 years. (Bulit 5 oct 2009) 7300miles, Sweden (cold). Mostly garagequeen. Very careful previous owner. Never rangecharged or driven hard. CAC 155,5 =190miles i std charge. So I would say as good as new.

Ha ha. No I Think the car was "on" when me and the former owner was sitting in it and looked through all menues and we did a very short testdrive right Before that Picture was taken. My usual consumption is like 170 when driving on slow roads. And after recent drives now got 307km in standard...

The pricetag for errors on the choosen method 2-4 could be a bricked battery (40k$ + a lot of extra work/problems/time for you personally) or an injured person...in any case you would probably regret it for your life that method 2-4 failed in some way. I would ”play it safe” go for alt.1 and...

Or/and a soft cloth, rubbersealing, plastic bag or similar might help seal the gap a bit, during the short trip to the servicecenter.

Could the Workshop have a mis-calibrated AC-fillingstation? They THINK/READ they have filled a certain=correct amount of refrigirant but they actually has filled too little/too much?

I Think I have read something about a Company called "GS Technology" i Switzerland or something like that. Anyone elese know? There are also some that say that "Autoskadestuen" in Denmark does some repairs on Roadster. Got a post on Facebokk from someone working there saying that they work on...

I have read the thread about the wrecked ones. But was also curious of how many was sitting in garages not used and those not used because waiting for sparepart. Someone said that in HongKong almosr 1/2 of them were stranded with dead batteries. I know of at least one here in Sweden (out of...

Out driving rather cruising today. Speed 50-90km/h. Outside temp 23C. PEM new/cleaned since <1000km. Temp M 50-70C Temp PEM 36-42C Battery 23-31C All within ”blue” but PEM closest to yellow. Read a lot regarding eveything on this forum but want some input from you experienced owners/drivers.

Out driving my Roadster today attending a Tesla gathering. Got the question ”how many are left”? Made me start wondering. Since reading on this forum and others. Seems to be few cars out there actually driven. There seems to be rather many out there with bricked batteries and/or with defect...

Wow! Fantastic job from Gruber! Or to be frankly. That is the difference from plain unskilled ”parts-replacement-people” =Tesla... and really good engineers/mechanics =Grubers. That ”understand” really how it works, how the signals goes and logically ”following the chain” to see where the...

CAC 155,5 after 10 years and 7100miles and still with original battery. So some of the original batteries still looks to be very healthy. Std charge gives me 306km (190miles) range ln the display now. Has not been in warm climates and always connected with the chargecable (Std-charge). And...

Thanks warden_clyffe! Soon 10 year birthday! Wonder what it want except fresh electricity and new TPMS?
