I asked them to put it in the trunk so I have it. I just didn’t want it installed on the car to keep the original look.

The touch screen immediately showed over 300 miles.

The spares were provided when I bought the car. I think they were sourced from a Lotus supplier. They appear to be correct but could be just a bit too small. I also have the broken ones that were original equipment.

Thank you. The Rocklin, California service center did the install. I originally booked it for Fremont but switched to Rocklin, which seems to have caused an issue with getting all of the correct parts to the new location (even though I made the change weeks before the appointment). The new...

It seems like it should be really easy to install new knobs for the fan speed and air path (i.e. HVAC controls) on the center console but my initial attempts have not been successful. I have pushed pretty hard and wiggled the knob back and forth with no success. My next steps would be to either...

Signature 100 #54 is now back on the road with a 3.0 battery. Limited use so far but everything seems to be operating as expected, except the TPMS module isn’t reading tire pressures and is throwing a fault. It took 2.5 months to figure out how to get all of the right parts to the right place to...

btw - That car had a functioning 2-speed transmission, which was lots of fun and one of the few times "the public" got to experience the car that way.

VP 11 was definitely there that day (Thunder Gray). I can't recall if there was a second car. There was a different car planned but it had an issue on the way up North. It was a long couple of days for the team transporting the car.

I suggest you have someone look at your logs to see if that sheet is consistently running hotter than the others. If it is then somebody should look at the car for a clogged cooling system or to see if the cooling tubes were installed in a way that they are not flowing properly (i.e. since the...

I can't recall the exact delivery sequence but there were a lot of deliveries out of sequence at the time for various reasons. You were very close to the final assembly location, which makes a delivery much easier. Some cars had component failures or paint issues that needed resolution. Etc. You...

Your records are correct TEG. I made the original delivery myself. I think it was the metallic black, which would explain why it looks a bit like Thunder Gray in the picture in direct light. That was also the last car built with the 1.0+ powertrain (i.e. 1.0 powertrain with 2-speed gearbox with...

Check with Pete Kang at Works. WORKS-About The website doesn't say anything about Tesla but Pete has extensive Roadster experience and might take the job.

I laugh out loud every time I hear your wife in that video too, Mark. I wish you luck in finding a good home for your Roadster. Thanks for sharing the picture. :-)

I think they just desired to do the right thing for early customers. There wasn't an easy solution, they continued working on it, and came up with a creative solution that didn't require complicated rearchitecture. It wasn't announced sooner because they truly didn't know if there was a solution.

I agree Doug_G. Just make sure you are charging at a high enough rate that the car has time to sit at full charge and balance. When people use the 110V connector for primary charge the battery will often go out of balance because the car never quite makes it to full charge.
