    Roadster 3.0

    I haven't seen a comment yet from owners who have plenty of range in the current version. I don't drive mine particularly far and am not motivated by a range increase. Also looking to the future when my Signature might be collectible. Any comments on whether upgrading might reduce...

    Vendor Aftermarket CF goodies for the Roadster - Feeler - Lets make it happen

    Would love to consider CF door sills for my 1.5. Rubber original equipment is shabby and easily worn. Just lost the knob to my dash light dimmer switch. Anyone know of a replacement source?

    Anyone look at or install Bridgestone Potenza RE 970 AS Pole position tires on the rear? According to specs, they are identical size to the AD07's with 835 revs/mile and come with a tread life warranty. Test results on Tire Rak look good too. I would like to know if these tires create regen...

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    Not sure this is the best place to post, but the first 100+ Roadsters are about to pass out of warranty coverage. Any word from TMC about extended warranty to the early owners? Have you done anything to safeguard against future expensive repairs that could be accomplished under warranty? Jeff...

    window adjustment

    I haven't had mine adjusted and found the hard top leaked a little washing the car, but so did the soft top. Hasn't been a big problem. JG sig47

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    Last week, I took my car in for minor maintenance of the sound system and fogging headlights. I was told I was the first to receive the new fog-free, heated headlights. From my understanding, they have been in the works for a long time. I have been "complaining" about the problem for over a...

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    #47 is doing fine in S. Florida. Just had my fogged headlamps replaced with heated ones (under warranty). Still waiting for an upgrade for A/C. Also need rear tires and would like to hear if anyone has changed from the factory originals to a longer wearing type.

    South Florida Store Opening

    Great store, but too bad the weather was so terrible. I drove my car and left early because I was concerned with high water in an electric car. Probably not the smartest place to be in a flood. According to John Johnston, the service manager, Teslas can drive through 6 inches of water. I...

    Anyone have the hard top?

    hard top I have a hard top and like it for the hot rainy Florida summer. Personally, I like the look of the car with it on and feel that it is a little quieter and roomier than the soft one. Just removed it yesterday and was really thrilled to have my open roadster back. For temperate...
