Thank you Zack. The North Shore Safety: PGFP-A11 is still available 30$ with shipping to California. There are slight differences in layout (the wires are in a different order, but color coding is the same. The weatherproofing is different). The roadster is now charging at 110V.

So the batteries in series give you the voltage. The batteries in parallel give you the current. The total (series x parallel) gives you the battery capacity. So if the smaller car size holds a smaller battery, and the voltage is fixed, then the amperage will be lower and hence smaller power...

Buena Park CA store opens at 9 am, an hour earlier than most other So. Cal. stores. I arrived at 8:30 about 300-400 in line. 9:10 am a guy who was in line since midnight had his order in. There were 5 or 6 employees taking orders and I got done just after 11 am. The line then had 150-200 people...

Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season (rear) I let the rear tread get too low (um, far beyond what is legal or safe). The nearest tire store did not carry Yokohama. So on my 2010 Sport model with 9500 miles, I decided to try Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season for my 3rd set of rears. They are "Ultra High...

I had the problem of the trunk occasionally not opening on the left side using the key fob and the internal switch. One day it failed to open at all (on the left) after repeated tries, so I slid my hand under (it was open on the right) and pulled the emergency release cord, which also failed...

If the smaller, more powerful battery still gave the same peak power, I would go with an even smaller battery that could take me just 200 miles. Lighter is better. (Sport)

Cowbells My idea is to install cowbells. My car is so quiet, I can surely hear any stray pedestrians who wander in front of me, as long as they are wearing them.

If I knew how to add pictures to the thread, I would do so. Here is a link to my pictures, or click on my name and go to my album. Tesla Motors Club Forum - beakmeister's Album: SoCal Greenspeed 11/15/09
