Separate names with a comma.
I have a custom set of super bright LEDs that Carl put together. I haven't noticed any difference in radio reception, which is to say FM is OK...
Range charging makes the CAC go up. If you haven't done it much, it might make the CAC go up really a lot. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's...
I think I haven't posted an update since October, 2019 so I'm really overdue. This includes new data for four cars: 670 (mine), 33, 209 and 1180....
I tried that but the VMS didn't reset. The light also didn't come on when I opened the door, so presumably it had lost contact with it.
During the pandemic I haven't had much use for driving the Roadster, so it's mostly been sitting in the garage. Back in August it started having...
It's been a year and a half since I last did an update of the data, so it's clearly time to do so. Anyone who wants to be included in the new...
Yes. And it still says "Production is expected to begin in 2020."
Is there even a such thing as a Signature Sport? Weren't the Signature cars the first few made, while Sport wasn't added until the 2.5 Roadsters...
My 6'3" son doesn't have a problem sitting in my original Roadster. It's not as bad as you think, your legs just stick way out in front of you...
They're still selling Founders Series reservations, so they haven't sold out of those yet. There were supposed to be 1000, right?
Two years from now for start of production sounds about right. They decided to use the plaid Roadster powertrain in the Model S, and that won't...
Sooo....in Tesla time, 12-18 months from now means "lucky if you see it in 2022." I'll wait. But I'd rather not have to.
There's a wonderful thread on this very forum from a few years ago where someone does an engineering study about using the jets to reduce the...
Not exactly. Weight = mass * gravity - volume * surrounding medium density. That is, you have to subtract the buoyancy force. So, since air...
Air has mass, obviously. Ordinarily, it has no weight, however, because it's floating in the atmosphere (that's why all the air doesn't just fall...
Piffle. I'm at 166K.
In this case, it absolutely matters. The reason is that they achieved the greater range with more efficiency, which means more ideal miles per...
I've seen the same thing: getting to low SOC, parking, and then having the reported charge level drop a ton. I assume that it's just not very...
I've gotten my Roadster up to max speed (~125mph) exactly once, on a track. I'll buy the new one with no intention of ever coming near the top...
Of course it was a risk. I was intentionally exaggerating when I called it free. That said, having driven a Tesla for a while before making the...
If they were 100% ethanol, I could think of a use for them. :-)
I bet that an economic crash will affect the market for a $200K car much less than it will a $40K car.
So if we're telling TSLA stories here, as an early-ish Roadster owner they offered to sell me shares in the IPO. I took them up on it and got...
What are those cans of gasoline on top for?
I'd think that the worldwide shutdown of nearly everything can't be good news for the Roadster. Not that they were ever in danger of hitting 2020...
When I ordered my Roadster, Tesla gave me a range of possible delivery dates. I mentioned to them that my birthday happened early in that window,...
It should be not too hard, if you can find the battery. They're pretty rare.
It'll be bigger than the original Roadster, that's for sure, and I've managed with that for 10 years. I'm more worried it'll be too big, not too...
As someone else pointed out, 221 in range mode would be horrible. I'd expect a car with that age and mileage to have a CAC of 180-190, which...
It's been about three months since the last update, and it looks like I'm going to get an interesting log that shows lots of use and very little...
To be clear here: by "worse" I mean "hold as much charge." If you mean "rate of degradation" then it's hands down worse for the 3.0, it's not...
None that I have data for are worse than a new original battery (not to mention whatever state it was in when it was replaced). The lowest CAC in...
I suspect that it's just a problem with the CAC algorithm not really knowing the battery's capacity. I've seen it more than once where I'd get...
The original Roadster had many more color options than the other Tesla cars. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that continued to be true of the...
I'm sure Carl can do it. It'll be better than new (literally; he uses better parts). I'm not sure about the price, you should ask him.
The coolant pump runs when the battery is charging, when it's hot, or when it's charged above a certain level (i.e., range charged). Here in...
Maybe it will come with a G-suit option. :-) (I'm kidding, I know that they're really only useful for pullups where the blood drains to you...
Yeah, mine was in today's batch, too. Who knows why they're dribbling them out like this. As with all things Tesla, pretty much inscrutable.
My Roadster has been my daily driver for over 10 years and 160K miles. I think I've had more problems than most people. It's had a failed PEM...
I'm an original owner, and I didn't get the email. I even checked my spam folder, no luck. I'm not selling anyway. But it's nice that they...
Kind of. It's not a glitch in my software so much as Tesla's. It's only got 132 miles on the battery (in the 630 days). The CAC recalculation...
Two different people sent me logs today, so that was a sign that I should really do the update I promised a few weeks ago. Things mostly continue...
The new CAC is about 214.5. I don't remember the warranty details, but it doesn't matter because you can't get a new 3.0 battery anymore anyway.
I've owned my Roadster for nearly 10 years, and it doesn't show up in the app (but my wife's Model S does). I assume that there's just no support...
It's been almost 5 months since I updated the graph, so it's time to do it again. If folks want to send me their data, I'll try to get it out in...
It's not quite that bad. I'm about three years in, and while it standard charges to 190-something, standard mode is 20% less than full, rather...
My 3.0 is at about 177 and also showing just over 190 in a standard charge. I'm getting close to 50K on the new pack. Another year or so and it...
If the explanation you are providing is correct, that the 2.1 number is for 0-100 Km/h and the 0-60 mph number is still 1.9, that means that the...
I wonder if when they install a refurbished pack that they just reset the CAC to new, and the algorithm learns the value over time. That would...
