The very one. I didn't know about the orphan thread. Interesting find.

Thanks for the replies. It was showing 180 miles, fully charged, when I sat in it. I assumed that was standard mode. Haha -- I should ask! I'll call the tech who last serviced it on Monday and see if they have the CAC. I read the latest service report and it was pretty benign. I...

Tires looked good.

This Roadster has 77k miles on it and is a "Sport" model. If I bought this it would be a daily driver. I did an extended test drive and noted two things and would appreciate feedback. This particular Roadster has a slight shimmy at about 35 MPH. It could have been as low as 20 MPH, I'm...

Hi -- I'm kinda new to the TMC forum and a bit unfamiliar with the culture. I'm looking at a specific Roadster and wanted to ask the local brain trust about anything specific to watch out for, general trends on Roadster prices and so forth. I didn't think it a good idea to start a new thread...

Coming late to the party.... is this car still available?

SF Bay Area. I'm an easy bike ride from the Deer Creek headquarters. Next question, if anyone knows. Does Tesla ever CPO the Roadster? There isn't a link for it on their webpage.... is that just because of lack of inventory? Maybe I should just get my a** down to the local store and ask to...

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. IN the BMW "i" groups the range gauge is derisively referred to as the GOM or guess-o-meter.

I too am considering a Roadster and this thread seemed as good as any other to ask a couple of questions. Thanks in advance. 1- In researching differences between the various models I saw a reference to the "VDS was moved to the center console." No clue with the VDS is. Yes, I searched the...

Brake "fail" was a warning not related to the climb; likely related to a known issue on the 12V system. Here's a theoretical top speed of the i3 when the battery has become depleted, per my calculations. Assumptions of the calculation are documented here. One of the assumption is sea level...

For me, it was the lack of a 12V battery on the early cars. I can't recall if it was added with the 2.0...? I've heard of other issues, but this is the one that stood out in my mind that I cared about, so, its the only one I remember without doing research. If I was in the market for a new...

Personally, I think the Roadster 2.5 is the only version that has the most potential of rising with time. I say that only because some of the earlier models had some Gremlins. But as others have noted, yeah, buying any car thinking the price may rise is not a good strategy. If you love the...

You may want to change the thread title to "Still available." Just saying. geosynch

'Tis a lot of liters! And it's sitting at a dealer who has about 100 pounds of cluelessness on what they have parked in their lot. $79k is a good price on an 85 and I'm willing to bet that it could be had for less, since the dealer probably just wants it off their hands. Unfortunately for me...
