I am looking for another Roadster Sport, ideally with a 3.0 battery and high spec. Must be low mileage and excellent condition. UK RHD spec only to be considered. Let me know what you have via PM. Thanks.

This does explain why my car is more reluctant to lane change at night than it is during the day. Had 4 failed lane changes tonight and there was no other reason for them to fail. During the. Day it worked fine. This is clearly a Warranty issue and Tesla need to Own it. Ive set up a service...

It's funny how this post has aged over the years. I fitted the Shorai LFX19 battery in 2015 and have had zero issues. I sold the car January and the new owner reports it's still had no issues even today. Cracks me up that there are people out there relocating the battery so it's easier to...

I'm not them, you would be best to direct your question to GS directly. However here's my take. I think the issue is finding cases and connectors so for them it's easier to just do a board swap and recycle the original parts. If you wanted to do the board swap yourself (soldering required)...

or you can try this to get your car charging or started. I haven't tried it myself but let me know how you get on. As always, try at your own risk.

It sounds like the 400V controller is dead. Look under the front Bonnet/hood and see if the red light is on on the controller. If its out, its dead. I wouldn't recommend buying another Eberspacher controller as the quality is garbage and they fail regularly. You can contact me on facebook...

I wouldn't advise replacing the capacitors with those TDK capacitors for the following reasons. They list typical ESR, not maximum ESR. Also if you look at ripple current, it's 2.79A at 100Hz and 105oC which is only slightly better than 2.47A of original. What they are certainly good at is...

Top Tip for anyone who runs into problems with the manual door locks after inhibiting APS as i did. I inhibited APS then locked myself out of the car and found out the hard way that my key lock wouldn't open the door again. If you open and close the charge port flap 10 times the APS...

I wonder if that cover would benefit from being deeper and larger? it gets really blocked up. Maybe someone with a 3d printer could make a bigger one.

Has anyone ever spent some time cleaning and polishing the terminals? has it made any noticeable difference? Just bored and fancy a tinker lol.

Im interested in a set of light weight aluminium Rotors, what do they weigh? what improvements have people experienced in performance, handling acceleration? any times etc? has braking improved? any drawbacks?

Because if it can be done for under £5000 its worth it as it will improve acceleration, handling, and range a little by improving efficiency. Its also a nice upgrade that will also add value and have function. I like the idea of reducing unsprung weight on the car.
