    Roadster 3.0

    My 2010 Roadster 2.5 has always displayed 15 amps when plugged in and not charging. To change the charging amps from the VDS it needs to not be plugged in (charge door closed) or actively charging. Once you set the charging amps while unplugged, it remembers those settings for that GPS...

    What did you park next to? (Or what makes the Roadster look tiny?)

    Not the best picture, but well worth it.

    Roadster 3.0

    True, but wouldn't be nice if in order to increase range the PEM was re-engineered which resulted in better cooling. Just wishing out loud.

    Idea for reducing dirt entering the pem

    Funny, there's an ad at the top of this page (in my view) for Dyson Cinetic Big Ball - "10 year's worth of dust without filter maintenance"

    Spectrum of Roadsters

    Can you describe the drive down Hwy 1? How far and did you have to charge along the way? Sounds like fun. And you definitely need more red - radiant & fusion :)

    Roadster 3.0

    Exactly - if deliveries were to start by the end of this month, there would have been pre-orders already.

    Roadster 3.0

    I hope that the changes include a redesigned PEM for better cooling and less debris being sucked into the PEM and motor. If Tesla did that, it would be worth the upgrade alone. I listened to the 7-17-2015 press conference and what Elon said about the Roadster 3.0 battery pack was that the...

    #1146 DMC Motor Fan Problem?

    I would upload a vehicle log to Tesla and see what thier reply is. If there is a motor fan problem and it goes unchecked it could lead to PEM damage.

    545 towed for the first time....System Too Hot Vehicle Shutting Down

    They are still waiting for a replacement PEM and cable. They showed me that with a leaf blower I can blow air into the vents that are in back, below and on either side of the license plate to help clear the air flow. The SC also offered a PEM cleaning more frequently, not a full annual service...

    #1146 DMC Motor Fan Problem?

    I just had the same issue with my 2010 Roadster, only this is the second time it happened in the last 14 months. The cable bundle that burned was connecting the motor fans to the PEM (it's behind the panel in the trunk). The connector to the PEM burned out and the PEM was damaged. Not sure...

    I have a problem of work with the European Space Agency........

    Raffy - In reading this thread and your article, I want to make sure I understand your circumstance correctly. After ESA (1986-1987), you worked at Ericsson for almost 10 years (1989-1997). In 1989, you started legal proceedings against ESA for wrongful termination (American terminology). Have...

    Roadster HP and Torque numbers

    If you assume linear acceleration, 0.77g equals 0-60mph in 3.57 seconds 0.77 x 32 ft/s/s = 24.64 ft/s/s 60mph = 88 ft/s 88 ft/s / 24.64 ft/s/s = 3.57 s

    Wiper blade

    I use the PIAA 93465 Super Sporza Silicone Wiper Blade with Carbon Fiber Spoiler 26". What better to add than a carbon fiber wiper blade? It goes for $28.99 on Amazon.
