    Roadster 203X

    I put my name in during the reveal. I believe that was in 2017 (?) Got my money refunded in 2019 when it became apparent that formerly “fun“ Tesla didn’t care about early adopters anymore. My guess is most likely Tesla will cancel it. I’d love to be proven wrong though as it’d be fun seeing it...

    Phantom Braking getting worse - any ideas on how to stop it?

    Interesting. Had a 2015 Model S and *never* experienced PB. On my brand new S-refresh Ive experienced it several times now. It scares the *hell* out of me (and the people behind me!) to the extend that I’m very reluctant to still use AP. I used to keep my right foot near the brake when using AP...

    HW4 cars with FSD Beta?

    HW 4 Model S refresh plaid with 2023.20.7 here. Still no FSD. My understanding is that FSD does not support HW4 yet.

    FSD Beta and HW4

    Consider yourself lucky. You got your HW4 FSD incapability for FREE for three months. I paid $15,000 for it! 😬 I think you got a great deal!!

    How long to get the $50k deposit back?

    Took about a month for me. But that was 3 years ago. Signed up during the reveal in Nov 17. So glad I decided to cancel.

    Roadster vs Porsche GT3

    Porsche GT3 exists and is renewed every few years. 5yrs old new Roadster does not and will not for at least another 2 years. I’d definitely go for the GT3 if I were you.

    Who needs a roadster when you have model s plaid?

    The question I have is: which one will be available first? My bet is it’ll be the Model S. They would never want to release an inferior Roadster and as it seems little progress has been made (zero announcements whatsoever) I guess they’ll “upgrade” the Roadster design with the new battery. And...

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    The fact that the media window keeps coming up on the console screen at power-up! I think it’s ugly and don’t want it polluting the screen/map (which I *do* like). Why can’t the SW simply remember the last windows config?

    Mildly worried about the deposit

    I'm curious. At just 200.000-250.000 and low volumes (sports cars == impractical) why do you believe the Roadster will be very profitable? My feeling is there's not much money in it for Tesla (other than marketing value, which they're actually already enjoying today - long before introduction).

    Mildly worried about the deposit

    Personally, I'm not so worried about my deposit. Although of course you'll never know, my gamble is that if Tesla is forced to sell the shop, it may go for a (relatively!) cheap price, but the buyer will take on the liabilities. I *am* worried about what this means for the Roadster development...

    When do you expect the first deliveries of the 2020 Roadster?

    Really hope you’re right and I’m being overly pessimistic. Especially as I don’t really have a plan B... That’s a big part of the reason that my reservation and hopes are still with Tesla. I would hate to take the refund only to see Tesla making a big splash a week later... :mad: Would love for...

    Will you put a personalized license plate on your 2020 Roadster ?
