    Model S roof rack for sale

    Did these work? I thought it was impossible to have a rack on a 2017 Model S with Sunroof...(That's what Tesla told me - they used to retrofit, but no more ?!?)

    Roadster Hand Brake cable replacement?

    Hi All, Has anyone replaced the Roadster 1.5 handbrake cable? My roadster is in for a full battery replacement (after 111k miles, hooray!) and they said the hand brake cable is frayed and rusted. They want to charge me over $430 to replace it. That seems very expensive for a part that should...

    Roadster Parts for Sale Listings

    I have an original 70AMP HPC for my Roadster (#287). Is that what you need? I do not need it as I use a NEMA 14-50 now for the Roadster and my Model S.

    BSM Contactor failure - unable to charge...

    With mine (#287), I had the same problem (warning messages, again) all week, but this time it would not charge - red ring of death appeared. Luckily we had a sunny and windy dry day. I opened the trunk, sat it in the sunny wind for a few hours, then drove it at 90mph a bit to really dry it out...

    "Trailing Arm" replacement

    Has anyone had to work on the Roadster suspension, and needed a trailing arm? My independent mechanic showed me how the wheel shakes after being fully mounted and recommends I don't drive it before it is repaired. But we are having trouble finding the parts and tesla will take at least a few...

    Titanium undershield for Roadsters?

    Have any better under panels become available? Hi all, I have a 2008 Roadster (#287) and the under-panel is rattling like crazy. The holes where the screws go seem to be deteriorating. Are you aware of any products designed to strengthen and quiet that part? It seems like some basic...
