@Roadster - :) The orange one I helped sell just arrived (last week) in California. I was happy to hear it made it there without a scratch and a bit sad that I didn't have the motivation to purchase it myself. There are still a handful of Roadster's over here sitting and waiting for a loving...

Thanks @Roadster :) Yes, the LOG file confirms that the battery was very low when this message was displayed. And, like the other Roadster I was looking at here in Japan, it hasn't been in for its service check for a while as evidenced by the "Service required" message and subsequent regular...

@DeedWest - I visited the dealer that has 865 a couple of days ago and got the drive log file. The car looks quite nice. Back tires have zero tread...I haven't seen a tire with so little tread in a long time. Digging through the logs there are a few issues with zero charge and some temperature...

Thank you very much for the comments and information. And, yes, there is a mixture of 50hz and 60hz here. I had completely forgotten about that. I don't see anything in the Japanese PDF that references that fact though so I'm guessing it is something that is dealt with by the car's internal...

Sorry to bump this but....just wanted to check and make sure those values I listed above: Between 102 ~ 104 volts & somewhere between 1 & 10 amps of 15 amps (most are around 3 or 4 amps but there are a few random 9s and 10s). The "energy" column is all 0 Kwh which I guess makes sense as that...

@TEG --> If you are searching for photos, blog entries, etc. about Tesla Roadsters in Japan, the following in a Google search will provide a wealth of returns. テスラ ロードスター In the Japanese alphabet, used for foreign words, that is "Tesla Roadster" :-) Maybe that is what you have already been doing?

@gregd --> Thanks, the voltage and current for those short events was: Between 102 ~ 104 volts & somewhere between 1 & 10 amps of 15 amps (most are around 3 or 4 amps but there are a few random 9s and 10s). The "energy" column is all 0 Kwh which I guess makes sense as that is the amount of...

Actually, I've been using the terminal via my Mac with vmsparser. No allergy to command line but I can't seem to get my head around all the data the way I want to. I was/am working toward trying to figure out exactly what's been pointed out here....that is, did the car simply run out of charge...

Thanks - I wasn't aware of a Mac version. I'll search that out briefly as the Windows troubleshooting looks like it's going to be a bit time consuming....time that I don't unfortunately have. :-)

Thanks - I'm planning on that but I'm primarily a Mac user. I do have Windows installed via Bootcamp and hadn't used it for months. Tried to restart into Windows for that purpose and found that a recent Mac OS update has temporarily tanked by Windows install. It's fixable though...I just haven't...

Thanks, that is reassuring to know. Also, I forgot to note that the drop around the end of March in 2012 coincides with information I have about a battery change at that time. I thought a battery change would result in a sudden CAC spike upwards but I guess that is not the case. The gradual...

I'm still digging through the logs and wanted to ask, again, for opinions, comments etc. related to something that is bugging me. When looking at the charge log I see that the battery has been allowed to drop to 0% on multiple occasions. :-( It appears that there is a gradual drop in CAC each...

Hmm, I guess so...I was confused....or being willfully ignorant. I thought I had found information about adapters for CHAdeMO to Tesla Roadster on the web but clearly I was looking at the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter that is NOT compatible with the Roadster. :-( It is scary how one can see and read...

Thanks again for your helpful comments and information. I've been digging around in the log files some via command line and some via a text editor and direct peeking at the files. "Painful birth" might be the best explanation :-) Regarding charging here in Japan, yes, with an adaptor it would...

I'll take a guess that it's the third one in the row there. I just need to make sure I've culled all the important information from the log file and then make an offer. :-)
