    2.0 / 2.5 Roadster / Roadster Sport Tire Thread

    I am planning on running AD07's front and AD08's rear (AD07 rears at Tire Rack crazy expensive) - has anyone done this? or any thoughts?

    TPMS Sensors

    I know there are a lot of threads on this, but a simple question: I have a 2.5 Roadster, which sensor do you suggest I buy as the current ones are dying. I understand the 2.x system is crap, but I would at least like to get new sensors in there as I am about to change tires.

    What comes with the Founders Edition that isn’t available in the standard production version?

    Without a doubt, this is the issue with all supercars, having a tire that can absorb a run at >250mph, tires will be expensive if that claim is upheld

    What comes with the Founders Edition that isn’t available in the standard production version?

    Having owned early an early Roadster (1.5 #414) and an early Model S (#26), you are better off with a later production car. On my original roadster I eventually got a 2.5 Sport (#1453) that had much better seats and better entertainment/drive layout. On the Model S, simple features such as PDC...

    Initial impressions: Nitron 46mm NTR Race 1-way shocks

    I just had Rob install the Nitron's on my 2011 Sport that had the Bilstien setup and the difference is enormous. The Nitron's are much more compliant on the freeway, plus I had loads of understeer on the Bilstien's when driving aggressively, that I could not dial out as the front was was too...

    Have Roadster Prices Bottomed Out?

    My 2 cents here. First the Roadster is a fabulous car and IMO will go down as a pioneering achievement in EV history. A car that can go >200 mile on one charge and do 0-60 <4 secs, it set the stage for what was to come. If you want to buy, I would focus on what you want more so than the cost as...

    Goodbye Sig #26

    One of the things I found on the new car is that it has a staggered wheel pkg, I thought they stopped doing that in early 2015? but I also looked at a P90D that was built in July 15, verses my November build and it was not staggered, 245's all around, must but be random?

    Goodbye Sig #26

    After almost 4years and 40k miles I am about to say goodbye to my Signature 26 (P85). Its been a great car, but its time to upgrade and take advantage of all the advances Tesla has made in the past 46 months. I waited until the refresh came out, but quite frankly, both my wife and I prefer the...

    10-Way Adjustable Bilstein Suspension Failure

    Wiztecy - my front dampers are starting to leak also, but didn't you go down the Nitron route with Rob? If so how do you like them and how much did it cost?
