    How and where to pull plug / power to the VMS?

    I just had to reboot my VMS. Followed the directions and it works like a charm. But what causes the VMS-VDS comms fault to occur?

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    The Mecum audience has not been very supportive of EVs. Don't be surprised if the reserve is not met.

    Roadster 1.5 clicking noise from the front

    If they replaced the bushings with polyurethanes, that will account for the squeaking. Dish soap should quiet them down.

    Jacking up the Roadster, revisited

    I've been using this one for the past 4 years along with a rubber hockey puck for padding. Works great...

    Brake disc specs?

    Unfortunately in socal we don't deal with wet. I've used the EBC Yellows for years on on my 76 Jag as well. Very happy with them. Never tried the carbotech.

    Best charging practice/set up for a Roadster (1.5 in North America in specifically)

    My OVMS unit connects at home via WIFI and alerts me on my iPhone app of any problems. Also alerts me at the start and end of every charge cycle. I can see it wherever I am as located as long as I have service.

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    Thank you Nybob for the excellent directions. I had to figure mine out myself as there's no documentation with board. The only challenge I experienced is that the new board does not have an ANT3 post, but rather a ANT2 post in a different location. Once I figured that out everything went...

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    Since the rollover to 5g and the discontinuation of 3g this week, I have noticed intermittent connectivity with my OVMS app. Do I need to upgrade my Hologram Sim card? I believe the current one is 3g. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Friend on Limited Income wants to buy a roadster - give me the good, bad and ugly

    I turned 76 yesterday and I consider my Roadster to be part of my daily exercise program. I may be 76 in calendar years, but I don't feel a day over 40! A man is only as old as the car he's driving!

    Carbotech Brake compound thoughts

    I use the EBC Yellow pads on my 2010 Sport and love them. I live up in the hills, and need something that does not need heat before it starts working. Seems as though my pads/rotors are always cold due to regenerative braking.

    Single-DIN non-flip-out CarPlay headunit for Roadster 1.5?

    I have the Pioneer AVH-3500NEX single din unit with the flip out screen. I used my trusty Dreml to cut off 1/8" from the outer end of the wiper stalk and glued the end cap back on. You cannot see the modification and the screen opens and closes with no conflict. Works great. Only drawback is...
