Hi All-- My Roadster is getting a new battery at Tesla Fife and I need to put the car in storage afterwards as I live in Germany. Does anyone know of an EV-friendly storage facility in the Seattle/Tacoma area? --Paul

Thank you -- It would be indefinite. I live in Germany and don't want to sell the car.

Greetings-- Does anyone know of a good long-term auto storage facility in SE Pennsylvania that will take EV's? It guess it goes without saying that an electric hookup would be needed :) --Paul

Nope, they used the instructions I sent them (from the Tesla service manual)…

To close this out, I had it taken to Ziegler Exotic Cars in Phoenixville, PA who did the work for me quickly. They were awesome.

Thanks eHorses. The link suggests I only need to have the left half shaft removed? Isn’t the right wheel still locked by the transmission then?

I will be using some to get it out of the garage :) However, the shipper will not accept a car on dollies.

Hi All-- I need to send my Roadster out to Seattle (from PA) for service, and in order for it to roll freely I need someone to remove one of the driveshafts as the transmission is locked. Does anyone have a lead on a mobile mechanic in the SE PA area that can come do the work? The car is about...

Hey J! I from Tesla after 16 years a couple months ago. The car is with my parents in PA whereas I'm in Germany. It's clear from other responses that I'm missing some information and that the car should be drivable without the 12V, I'll get more information.

Thanks all! Fuses have been ordered and will be replaced soon. Yup, now to start making cars!

Hi All— My Roadster is in Pennsylvania (I’m in Germany) and is giving a “ID: 963, DATA: 0x40000000” error and not charging. From a couple threads I see it could be a heater fuse, which I‘d like to try replacing before sending it to the service center. This thread Powertrain Problem ID: 963...

Thank you! Yes, your specs appear to line up with the part description:

To close this out, cause was blown inline fuses. Repair cost $1014.95 + tax. Does anyone know where to buy these 500V '2004266' fuses for the next time this happens?

My car is in long-term storage in PA and the CA non-op registration expires 3/2021. I do not plan to renew the CA registration--must I register the car in PA if it is not being driven? Thanks!
