@apacheguy & @EdA, Good to see you both still online!

I have not really noticed a difference. We took the car on a ~500 mile trip from Baltimore to Columbia, SC to drop my daughter at USC (go Gamecocks!) last July and supercharged every 150-200 miles w/o issue.

Life has gotten in the way of me actively participating in the forum, but I thought an update was due from a longtime owner. My last maintenance update was the fall of 2016 and since then there have been two issues (aside from routine seasonal tire swaps and replacements) - both repairs were...

Unedited pic from this morning above.

I really never got specific details. The car initially would not let me drive - all kinds of alerts presented on the dash - it then mysteriously cleared. I took it in and they deemed it an "internal high voltage battery" issue and specifically stated it was not the same contactor fault related...

I thought I would summarize my experience with the car after passing 4 years of ownership and nearly 140k miles. I modeled this after @artsci's post back in November. Thanks Rick!!! Range: A 100% charge yields 244-246 miles - a 7.5% decline. I supercharged twice weekly for two years when...

Guessing same...just no detail on the paperwork and I didn't ask. I'll make an inquiry when I'm in later this month to do my seasonal tire swap.

Correct - bushing issue was identified when my battery was reinstalled. No cost on the batter. Grateful for 8 year unlimited mile warranty.

Quick update... My refurbished battery was reinstalled on 10/21 (it was actually back in September but delayed replacement due to my schedule) @ 132k miles. There were no details on the service order as to what was done to it. While in for the battery work, front right bushing showed some play...

Cheers - "free" never works given basic human behavior.

This...or a poll option that says "I'm waiting for the next Roadster."

Ditto here. Not my words and not an exact quote, but fitting... When a child loses a parent, they are orphaned. When an adult loses a spouse, they are widowed. There are no words for someone losing a child.

I drive spiritedly and have high mileage - nothing extreme otherwise.

You know I am committed - ~120k miles at time of incident - ~122k today. If replaced, this will be the second time - first HV battery replaced was at 11k miles. I did have an issue about a year ago (would need to check details) that resulted in some internal components of the battery being...

Ruh-roh Shaggy... Main HV battery issues back on 6/7 that initially presented themselves as a barrage of 12V battery and other assorted alerts (car may not start, service now, etc.). The battery has been sent to Cali for repair and I have been using a loaner battery for the majority of the...
