I placed my order for the Plaid on January 27th and my estimated delivery date is just "March." Tesla hasn't contacted me recently. I don't know what time the announcement was made and at what time you could order the car but I'm pretty sure I completed my order less than 24 hours after the...

Yeah, that would be great!

This loss of performance SUCKS!!! I would be happier if they had never given us the extra performance and then put us thru this BS of taking it away! I've thought that I might buy a new Roadster in the future but it looks like you could spend a quarter of a million dollars on the car and then...

I had put it in Ludicrous+, the display showed "Ready" and I made enough runs to where it showed that it was "cooling." I've never selected starfield which might do the job but that wouldn't explain why it displayed one day and not another, right? Next time I make some runs I will go to the...

These are the numbers I got when the car was new. Bought it in December of 2016 and these runs are from February 2017 using my old Gtech meter.

So how do you get this screen too display? It came up when I made these runs a few days ago but couldn't figure out how to see it yesterday after making a bunch of runs in Ludicrous+ with a fully heated battery and a 100% charge. It felt pretty good yesterday but I virtually never heat the...

Is there a way to download or at least see a record of our performance runs or screen history that gives that battery info, longitudinal accel, and motor power from our cars? I've got an old G-tech meter that I used on the car when it was new. The bracket was broken and the replacement bracket...

"What are you referring to when you say 11.2, 11.7 and 12.00?" In your picture above, the longitudinal acceleration (Long_Accel) is shown as having a peak of 12.0 m/s2 where mine was a sluggish 11.2 and the Drag Times car showed 11.7 m/s2. The equation "9.83 m/s2 = 1G" is for gravity. If we...

How are you (and others) getting your performance data? I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the best acceleration I "noticed" was 11.2 when Drag Times showed 11.7 and your car showed 12.0 IIRC?

THAT is terrible news! Based on what I saw on the recent Drag Times video I expected MORE performance not less! I got the update a few days ago then got it out on Saturday to see how it did. It kinda sucked. I liked the new simpler launch mode but the performance was not good. In fact before my...

I bought my car new in December 2016. My auto dimming mirrors don't appear to be working. (I'm not a fan of auto dimming mirrors because they never get dark enough for me on any car I've driven). In an effort to test the system I covered, with my hands, what I believe to be the sensor on the...

I picked up my new model S December 23, 2016. The windshield is distorted maybe half way up and on the right side only. Anyone else have the same problem? While I was waiting for my car to arrive, others on the forum were talking about their new cars having distorted windshields. I suspected...

I did confirm that we tried charging the car using the timer and the OVMS in Advanced Charge Control mode with no success. I did a cold reboot of the VMS, (that was unpleasant at best!), with no success. I didn't get the job done in ten seconds, (I don't know how you guys do that?), I hope ten...

I "think" we hooked up another owner's OVMS in an effort to solve the problem? I'm waiting to hear from Dennis Pascual to confirm this. Assuming it did not solve the problem, does that point to the possible answer to the problem? Thank you

I will give the cold VMS reboot a try. Thank you!

Sounds good to me. How would we do that? Seems like the later thread "Charging Timer Doesn't Work" is the most descriptive?

The compass and elevation do show correctly on the screen. I just did a partial charge of the battery. I then went to move the car and it wouldn't go into gear. No evidence on the display or the dash that anything was wrong. I shut it off for a couple minutes and everything was fine. I was then...

Below is what I wrote after they diagnosed the problem. Maybe they were wrong? I just tried charging the battery using the timer. It read: Charging Problem ID:981 Data:0x00010000 The light at the charge port door was blinking red. Pantera Dude, Jan 9, 2014 When I took my car in for the 36K...

Thank you! It's nice to hear from someone who has experienced this. I'm the second owner of the car. The problem started two or three months after the warranty expired. They would not honor it. They gave me the verbal estimate of $5500 to replace the battery. If I only knew then what I know...

It was in fact the APS of auxiliary power supply. I found the old thread "Timer Not Working" from 2013. I "think" another Roadster owner came over to my house with his OVMS and it didn't solve the problem?

I don't "think" that was it?

That might be it? Auxiliary Power System? Would there be such a thing within the battery pack and could it cause the problem?

The problem began with the car not charging as scheduled and that went on for a year or two? I believe it was the second to the last time I charged it, (I haven't been driving the car so I don't charge it often), it overcharged itself, and I believe it said something to that effect.

I don't have OVMS but if that would solve the problem, that would be very good! It seems like I brought this up a couple years ago and the subject of the OVMS might have come up? I "think" someone might have suggested that it would not solve the problem? I could be mistaken which would be a good...

I don't "think" it was ESS? VMS maybe?

The car doesn't start charging as scheduled. The acronym was not GPS or Pem and it is a part within the battery pack that they don't replace, they replace the entire battery. The estimate was verbal, no paperwork. I don't know about permanent damage, there is no evidence of that, which I can see?

I am unable to charge my 2008 Roadster with the timer. I have been charging it manually for the last two or three years. While charging it recently it overcharged and I was then unable to move the car for a couple of days. I took it in for a repair estimate a couple years ago and they said I had...

Why not list it on ebay?

When I open the rear trunk before entering the cab, the rear trunk light doesn't come on. I have to at least open a door before I can get the trunk light to come on. What gives? Do I have something set wrong? I don't have the same trouble with the front trunk. Suggestions?

Great info! Thank you very much. I will follow your advice. :)

Congrats on the 100D Isn't it, "mind boggling?" !!! It seems that "maybe" I'm getting to the point that my brain isn't getting quite so "scrambled," when I punch it from a standing start. LOL

That's what they WANT me to think! LOL Thank you, I had no idea this was such an "ethereal" issue? <grin> The reason I ask is that I've got a new model "S" P100D and want to get the "Ludicrous Plus" update that I saw on the Dragtimes video. The update is: v8.0 (2.52.22) All joking aside, how...

I picked up my new car on 12-23-16. I've only received one update since then. I park my car in the driveway and it appears that my wifi signal may not be strong enough to provide an adequate connection on a regular basis? My last update looks like this: v8.0 (2.50.180). On the screen I see...

Good info, thank you guys!

I understand no full size spare. I even understand no mini-spare, but no tire inflator/repair kit? And this for a car without run flat tires? It sounds like Tesla sells a kit, but do they include the kit in any of their cars? Do buyers in some states or parts of the country get the kits at...

Yeah, I knew it wasn't going to be a track toy, but what it does, it does VERY well. LOL Thank you guys!

Someone out there must have a pretty good idea? This is assuming no wind or wet roads and no elevation gain or loss. How much of that range would likely be at the 155 mph limit before, (or if), the electronics reduced speed to protect the battery or other hardware? I hope it would go farther...

Mach Schnell, you are in for a treat! I picked up the P100D today and it has some kick! :D Kick like I've never experienced before! Unfortunately it has been raining a lot down here so my full blasts starts were limited in number due to the wet roads, but the ones I did left quite an impression...

Cool. :D

I hope so too! It kind of sucks that for the most part the closer to the factory you are, the longer it seems to take to get your car. Oh well, whatever it takes to make Tesla successful. I DO want them to be successful. :D So far so good!

You lucky dog! Thank you. Is it Friday yet? :D

Good news! Not "great" news but at least it's good.:D I get my car on Friday at 1:00. I was hoping it would get here sooner but my visiting out of town family DOES get to go for their rides! "And All Will Be Right With The World!" Ordered 10/31/2016. Started production 12/14/2016. Ended...

Problem solved! I got it opened using Chrome.

Is anyone else having trouble getting into My Tesla? I'm on a different computer at a family member's house. At the bottom of the logon page I see "Done But With Errors," after putting in my email address and password. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Nice color! I have the same on the way. FWIW I got notification from My Tesla that my that my car was in production on 12-14-2016. I just got the email today, three days later.

Great!!!

I know that feeling! LOL

We're pulling for you! Unless you get in front of us of course. LOL

Mine has taken longer than most but it was 36 days from confirmed to in production. You can probably get a pretty good idea as to how long it might take by looking at the Google sheets and find someone that was in a similar position last quarter. Apparently the 60's get built before the 70's...

How do you rate? LOL My car, (Costa Mesa delivery), was confirmed ten days before yours and is still in production! Maybe I should have ordered something with a smaller number? <grin>
