    Advice on what to do with my 2011 Roadster

    Yes I've had it plugged in, mostly in storage mode. It went down very low once after a power cut, but charged back up ok.

    Advice on what to do with my 2011 Roadster

    Greetings Tesla community after many years, I come seeking your advice. Two kids later, my 2011 Roadster has been off the road sat in the garage at my house in the UK for a few years. (this roadster), and am shortly going to get a Model Y. Its a painful thing to consider, but I think I...

    Ecotricity Electric Highway

    Hi guys, Sorry bit late to this party, please could someone tell me what I need to buy and where, in order to do what you're doing?? Am most jealous!!! What is this cable with a white plug you've all got? I see Kevin seems to have a very short adaptor plugging into it and P4EV you're...

    Zero:Net - The UK's open Charging Network

    Certainly is. Pleased to say went to Dartington Hall for the weekend and enjoyed the use of the charger there a fair bit. I was confused by its green appearance but I think it was one of yours? I found it on the Zero:net website anyway! Great place to stay. Turned out we were the first to use it...

    UK Roadster insurance

    I'm also with these. In process of renewing, and really ticked off. They're trying to jam my premium up, and it was sky high already. Am going to try the other ones mentioned here... So far have failed to get any other quote whatsoever!

    Ecotricity Electric Highway

    Yeh good point I was thinking about that. The last time I tried I'm sure it was off the first time I plugged it in, thats my normal habit - its the last thing I switch on. I repeated a few times and I'm pretty sure I'd have tried it with it in the on position, but is a variable I'll try changing...

    Ecotricity Electric Highway

    Have heard back from ecotricity. They suspect either my connector wasn't pushed in sufficiently, or that the post hadn't "reset" since the last user, recommending I should have pushed that button. I'm pretty sure the connector was in fine, I did reconnect it several times. I repeated everything...

    yeh looks very similar, though the colours are different. I never knew about that button, whats that do, a sort of reset? I was getting the same effect sliding the switch on the tesla connector.

    Charging in an enclosed garage

    I most often charge my roadster in a very.... snug... garage - this is a factor, the smaller the garage the more quickly the air temperature spikes up. Mine is fine just by leaving the internal door open plus this is handy in winter as it helps heat the house when I get back :tongue: Once its...

    Ecotricity Electric Highway

    Another failed attempt to charge at the Ecotricity point at Michael Woods, Southbound m5. Every time I tried to enable charging the light would flash yellow twice and then nothing. The Roadster never seems to see a signal. Now I'm starting to wonder if its me, though same equipment has worked...

    Congrats! Is that midnight blue or black?

    Saved by the Roadster

    This is definitely a great aspect I've found with the Roadster - the way you can instantly dart forwards gives more options for a get out of jail card, rather than just having the brake. No delay to shift to get all the power, and your foots already there, no other car really has this. My other...
