    Who gets reservations filled first?

    My Cybertruck reservation number is 113430389 made in May 2020 (tri-motor + all available options). Any ideas where I am in line and possible estimate when I might get it? I would choose an Austin TX delivery. I would hope to get it before 2010 Roadster Sport's battery dies or I die (I'm 76)

    Help with TPMS Sensor programing on 2010 Roadster

    Thanks guys - there is a Tesla SC only 20 mikes away from me as a seagull flies. But I have to take a ferry to get there, a day trip to America as well call it here on Whidby Island. I'll give that a try since I've wanted to check it out anyway. The same seagull would have to go 50 miles to get...

    Help with TPMS Sensor programing on 2010 Roadster

    I replaced all 4 TPMS sensors on my 2010 Roadster sport after I began getting "TPMS hardware failure" warnings on the VMS. After deleting the warnings a few times they stopped showing up but still had no reports available. So I bought a Foxwell 1000 TPMS tool and checked the sensors and sure...

    Broken Windshield Wiper Arm

    The wiper arm on my 2010 roadster sport was weak and lifting in the center. I replaced it with one for my wife's 2008 Subaru Outback (the longer one - it had two sizes) I found at Costco. It works fine, fit the original arm and has much more tension.

    Help: VIN 729 Roadster not starting, VMD-VDS communication fault

    Where is this service disconnect on my 2010 roadster (37,000 miles)? Photo would be nice. I haven't had any issues yet, but I am sure they are coming. Thanks

    Total braking system failure?

    My first real car was a 1967 stick shift Mustang with manual brakes. You learn a lot about physics (momentum and dynamics). It was my left leg (clutch) that grew the most. In my collection I have a 1974 Lotus Europa that originally had power brakes. The system was over complicated and poorly...

    How Many Roadsters are Left?

    March 80A with 1600 Cosworth, Lotus Europa Twin Cam and MGB with Rover V8 (not Midget). All above except Jag and Tesla I saved/built from basket cases. My early open wheel driving career started with a Brabham then through March and Ralt. Got bit by British stuff early and can't seem to shake...

    How Many Roadsters are Left?

    2010 Sport #847 alive and well on Whidbey Island, WA. Never will let it go. You will have to pry it from my cold/dead hands. Have my name on the list for a Cyber Truck but pretty far down the list. Giving up a roadster for any new Tesla because you do not have room is not and option. Just...

    Electric window broken - sourcing parts

    Interesting. My 1974 Lotus Europa Twin Cam has AC Delco (GM) motors for it's electric windows. The Brits were always swapping/sharing parts.

    New Owner

    I don't track drive anymore (70+ years old) . I still tend to drive a little "spiritedly" on the road.

    New Owner

    I am the proud new owner of a 2010 Roadster Sport - one owner 31,000 miles on ODO. I have been building and modifying race and street cars for over 50 years and this is the coolest thing I have ever bought. A true petrol head - electric geek's dream. The regenerative braking is one of the...
