    TESLA Roadster Sport in Bricks - IB002

    Last night my adult son and I assembled ours. It's quite cool, with your choice of V1.5 shift lever or later push buttons. It even has a battery and PEM, but the trunk, while it has a pivot mechanism, does not open to see what's inside. The pivot just enables the trunk to slope down. We removed...

    Pics of people taking pics of Roadsters

    So, that's not dangerous to attempt? Or did you do something special?

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    Most of those are not commands - see The OVMS Console — Open Vehicles documentation for a list. The closest you have is a "module" command, but not a "module?" command.

    Reported Range went down after charging!?!

    OVMS V3 user here, Roadster V2.5 with R80 battery upgrade (2020 version) Got home from Tesla Takeover with relatively low ideal range left (25Miles Standard, 58Miles Range), and decided to do an OVMS Cooldown charge first. Look at the screenshot from the OVMS message history. At one point...

    New Tesla branded chargers with original Roadster?

    The Atascadero charger is an old 70 amp clipper creek unit. They removed the Roadster pkug and attached a J1772.

    New Tesla branded chargers with original Roadster?

    While traveling to/from the Tesla Takeover last weekend, I had problems charging at two different destination chargers. One is the old ex-RaboBank charger (was 70 amps) in Atascadero, the other at the Adeline Inn in Paso Robles. In both cases I attached the adapter to the plug, and then attached...

    First 3.0 Battery Upgrade Failures

    What, if anything, do we know about the differences between the 2016-2019 and 2020+ 3.0 battery upgrade packs/cells/etc.?

    New Roadster 4.0 Battery developement with Model S cells

    Good point, as without Battery, PEM, VDS, and motor, what's left over is basically the glider as sent to Menlo Park from Lotus in England. But, a Roadster with a water-cooled Model 3 motor/PEM sounds pretty enticing to me and would probably hold up fairly well in the resale market if it works...

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    Sounds suspicious to me. I bought my 2011 Roadster new from the Menlo Park assembly/showroom. It had 25 miles on the Odometer. Zero sounds like someone reset the odometer. And if they've been sitting that long, the batteries are probably long since bricked. May be recoverable, I don't know.

    New Tesla branded chargers with original Roadster?

    208 Volts indicate that they have 3 phase power coming in. A link: 208 Volts Is a Weird Voltage. Where Did It Come From? - Thermal Corporation That it's only 12 amps could be that's all they wired up for, and set the charger accordingly, or that they set the charger up to not draw more than 12...

    Taking the CA DMV License Test with a Tesla

    When automatic transmissions came out, did the DMV flunk people who weren't showing up in stick shift/manual transmission vehicles?
