    Tesla Graphical Log Parser

    Thanks for the info. Yeah, I do resize the TeslaGLOP to maximize its size on the screen. I know that I can also use the non-graphical parser to get data like TeslaGLOP exports. It is very useful to be able to look around in the data using TeslaGLOP and then use the other parser to pull out the...

    Trunk release issues

    I've had similar problems and have the actuator hardware from Tesla and directions on how to replace when I get around to it. One hint from my experience: Once you get the trunk open after it's been stuck, tie a relatively thin strap or rope to the manual trunk release inside the trunk. Then...

    Tesla Graphical Log Parser

    The parser is great. I just started using it again for the first time in a couple years and am wondering if anyone knows: 1) Running it on my new Windows 8 notebook, the "Export Graph" functionality fails. Does anyone know of a fix or workaround? When I hit the ok to save it to the desired...

    Roadster trunk latches problem

    Thanks. I assume you mean: I didn't find that with my search before starting this thread and just found it now based on looking at your posts. Maybe a moderator should combine these threads, but it would need renamed since the previous thread started talking about the hood (front) latching...

    Roadster trunk latches problem

    I thought I'd seen a similar issue in a thread here before, years ago, but searched and couldn't find it, so: 8 days ago my trunk stopped opening. I think it made the usual clicking noises the first couple tries, but then the clicks stopped happening. Same results with a key or with the...

    The 12 Volt Battery

    Yeah, I found the charge port door opening and closing work-around on my own. I believe it just took one open close cycle for mine. Before I found that, the key unlock button would take minutes to unlock the car with the 12V battery dead or close to dead. I went a few months with a dead 12V...

    My 3-day Old Roadster Towed Back to Store

    I had a similar problem (or another problem, leading to this problem) happen within the last 3 months on my 2010 2.0 Roadster Sport. Background: I moved my Roadster from Virginia to Guam almost 3 years ago. Guam is very humid during the rainy season (not sure whether Hong Kong or Guam is...

    Kevin Sharpe's decreased Roadster range

    What is the "disconcerting drop in range" you refer to here? The linear fit seems to show a gradual reduction in range. I would think that nearly any place you zoomed in on (in time), you would see similar multiple mile drops and increases. On the plots, everything would look a lot less...

    Charging Question

    Anyone have any first hand experience, to give us input on this? I also thought that the Roadster should charge fine again if plugged in within a reasonable amount of time (I'd expected at worst within a couple days would be fine, but not waiting as long as months).

    Changing Drive Mode On The Fly?

    I believe that, on this point, the 2.0's and 2.5's are similar, or the same.

    Fisker Fires

    My employer shipped my Roadster Sport for my move last November and the shipping company required no extra cost (nor extra preparation) for it beyond an ICE and they knew the make and model before quoting the cost. I hope there is no significant change in what they will charge before I ship it back.

    OVMS Firmware Update Procedure

    FYI - A problem I saw: I couldn't get the hardware to work properly with my laptop. Sometimes the programmer GUI wouldn't see the programmer, and when the programmer GUI did see the programmer, it mis-identified the type of the part to be programmed. These problems persisted over multiple...

    Open Vehicle Monitoring System

    Problem finding vehicle firmware file to download: I followed the link on: http://www.openvehicles.com/ to get to "Vehicle Firmware 1.5.1" and it sent me here: https://github.com/markwj/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/tree/master/vehicle/firmware How do I get the firmware file from...

    Random Roadster Sightings

    What am I misunderstanding? Aren't most/all of the Tesla's in the UK RHD, and aren't there many more than a couple dozen Tesla's in the UK?

    Thermal Cooling running off of 110V?

    There are other threads that talk about this, but I don't remember what they decided about cooling when charging at 120V. I looked at them when I moved and started charging at 120V, but since it seemed to be working well when I first got here, I didn't look too closely and didn't bother trying...
