Problem solved! Thanks 1,000,000!

My Roadster (#835, 2010 2.0) had the heater stop working and I can no longer open the glove box. It seems to be a fuse problem or something else that sort isn't working properly. I searched and didn't see another thread on this. Any ideas or suggestions? The car works fine otherwise.

I say do what makes you happy. Here's mine. I'm very happy with my choices. 2.25 conversion, interior upgrade, and repaint

I heard back from Tesla on their offer for my wife's car (972), which is in Southern California. Very Orange 2010 Roadster Sport 2.5 #972 I post here to update those who are interested. We got an offer in the low-to-mid 50s. It has a small premium/increase if we opt to apply it to the...

Thanks for the kind words on the paint/conversion to 2.25. Here is a link to a set of photos I took after washing #972 today. It standard charges to 150 miles or so. Eric at Tesla Loyalty/Roadster has been a 10/10 on responsiveness and says that normally offers are made within a few...

My wife is considering selling her Roadster Sport 2.5 #972. Very Orange, with carbon, and in very good condition, in the Los Angeles area. I sent a message to the Tesla email today and got a reply in less than two hours. They are going to get back to us, but as an initial matter I appreciate the...

I've been out of the TMC loop for a while but recently reengaged and I am *really* happy to read this! I'll definitely be using Executive Motorwerkz for some work on my Roadster and my wife's. Glad to support them for supporting us!

I don't see why he would. He was honest in recognizing that things haven't been perfect in the past, but the company has had a change in approach that makes us and our cars a higher priority than we were in the past. That's entirely consistent with the email and my interactions with others at...

Today I had the ranger from Tesla Torrance (Mervyn) visit me, to replace the broken bracket holding my 12v battery. After he finished the repair we had a good chat. I will share what he told me, summarized by me. 1. The company has come to appreciate that leaving us out in the cold is not a...

Tomorrow a ranger is coming to my house (LA area) to replace the bracket that holds the 12v battery in place. A few weeks ago they did an annual service and replaced some brake parts. Both of those started with a response to the email. Now I just text the leader of the Roadster team in Torrance...

Carl, I earnestly applaud your excellent work to bring this car back to life. As TEG wrote, my car (835) was originally Radiant Red but I had it stripped down and repainted in a shade of yellow that is used on Lamborghinis, as well as getting an interior overhaul and having the front and rear...

In Southern California Roadster service was relocated to Pomona for the past year or two but my wife was just notified that Roadster service is being relocated back to Torrance (which I appreciate since that is close to us). We each drive the Model 3 pretty often for the comforts (e.g...

The big reason for the falcon doors is that the Model S/X platform is so wide and the doors so big that getting in and out of it is a pain in a parking lot. The falcon doors address that problem. The Gen 3 isn't expected to be so huge, and hence there isn't such a problem to be solved. I...

In the most recent annual meeting Elon said that the Gen 3 will have "a strong family resemblance to the Model S." Gen 3: I was speaking with a sales rep in a store last weekend and he told me the number one complaint he gets from people looking at the Model S is the nose cone. He said that...

Jeez. Is it really all that unreasonable for someone to inquire in this subforum about a used Model S? Obviously he/she could get a new car, or a demo, in short order, but asked if anyone was interested in selling a car of a particular type. Why be so rude and caustic? Is the goal to give Tesla...
