Yeah Lou, it really was a good experience. One thought I had that was unexpectedly refreshing was that when I met Rich B. in Shrewsbury, he knew I had a Roadster, but he didn't say anything about co-owning a garage with a former Roadster technician. He just let me figure it out on my own. I...

I hear you Walla, I have doubled up on the poison bait boxes in the garage, even though I think most of the damage was done when the original owner had it. I'm normally pretty humane, but when they start eating your Roadster, this means war!

I've restarted this thread because finally the time came for me to replace my original factory JVC radio. The ipod to iphone adapter had stopped working ("Unrecognized device" was the message) and the bluetooth stopped working as well. It would sync for about the duration of one song and then...

I also just had the "VMS-VDS comms fault" error. Everything was dead, I couldn't even open the door without using the hidden keyhole. At long last, I bought one of the OVMS modules from Medlock and Sons. It arrived yesterday, and I'm still getting it configured. But Medlock was kind enough...

Got it, Thanks! The annoying message is gone now.

OK, I've been searching the forum for an hour and I can't find anyone explaining how to access the Diagnostics menus. It seems like it's something everyone but me knows how to do. Apparently there's a PIN for it, but I can't figure out how to be prompted for it. The wrench button reveals...

🤣 I can laugh about it now that it's good as new. After I went back to the accident scene, on the way home I saw more dead coyotes in the northbound lane, making me think they were a pack that was chasing one-another. No roadrunners!

Thanks Lou - Sad to hear about Watertown not being an option anymore. Once they loose their one guy whose been there since the beginning, they lose the capability that's essential to us. South Connecticut is a long tow truck ride if something serious goes wrong. Hope to see you out there!

I was heading to golf early one warm morning in November, doing about 75 in the left lane of Interstate 495 in Mass, when this dog-like thing came rocketing out of the grassy median right in front me. I didn't even have time to twitch. I felt the thud, then began to hear the crackling of carbon...

Anyone notice the high bid now sits at $90K? Wow!

Good Catch! It looks like the listing has been removed.

2010 Tesla Roadster | eBay This listing describes #938 as "4WD". Pretty sure it isn't! I do like the non-metallic paint though.

Wow! That's how they posted the result. Is that a record, even for when they were new?

I had the same error a few months ago, and my Tesla SC was able to find me a new PEM, probably from all the old Roadsters that are being traded in and cannibalized. Not cheap, so prepare yourself for that. Gruber is probably less expensive, and I might have more faith in his rebuild over...
