Separate names with a comma.
Robotics and Material engineer, though now I am mostly involved with rocket propulsion and spacecraft, with a bit of drone stuff on the side....
Ditto here for a set, I'd arrange collection in the US rather than post international probably.
Yes, it took six months in the UK, Tesla were not helpful. Autoglass tried for ages to find one from them, and in the end found me a VX220 screen...
Here is EU 277, a 2011, R80 (3.0) Roadster Sport, just after a wrap in Deep Space Purple (flip colour), the location is the UK's rocket propulsion...
Just tried to input my data, but got an error "Unable to insert vehicle. The system administration has been notified. We aplogize for the...
XLR8's comment about being terrified about taking the car to the SC is something I and am sure others feel also. Using the PEM to control the...
@petergrub , what would it take for you to design an after market battery pack, not necessarily of the capacity of the 3.0 pack, how far off do...
Why not ? It would help catalog useful threads etc eg PEM based and make retrievalnof information easier especially for those folks who struggle...
And whilst it does depend a little on the SC local to you, generally most folks are finding that it is taking on average a year plus to get a...
The other issue is the painting, the roadster has a high quantity of carbon fibre parts, if you paint these parts and stick them in a normal oven,...
Here is: SFZRE3B11A3000277, near Oxford: 1. complete VIN - as above. 2. 2.5 - but actually mixed specification 3. UK 4. Black leather / storm...
Three of us up in Oxfordshire, two in fact regularly on the same campus (Harwell), if you're ever up this way.
Ouch! Thats pretty pricy, you buy direct from the manufacturer in Italy or via their country representatives for about $180 dollars, with a three...
Though to add, it will be one of those cars which is a pleasure to drive. It's basically a bad ass go kart, which is relatively simple to...
Personally I think the parts which are more concerning are the vehicle ECU/management systems, bespoke control systems, heater controller and...
I'd suggest getting a new moulding for the rear defuser, modify it to include the new aperture (and preserve the original) and include slots for...
Like XLR8 says if you maintain the car, are willing to do some servicing yourself and look after it, then it's pretty robust. I drive mine more or...
Agreed, and if the CAC drop off stablises that would be okay, if not great, but what bothers me and I'm sure it's true of everyone who has...
Agreed, I think the product does exist, and I'd be tempted to get a pair, however the fake touting that they were "bought" by the seller posing as...
Yup, and it gets worse, I started off with 347 also last June and I’m now seeing range charging sub 302miles, a drop of 13% in 14 months. That...
Did a range charges last night. Range shows now 302, that's a drop of 45 from the original 347, or 13% in 14 months. This sucks.
Its a good point, but I suspect we'd need to get identical cells to be certain and without cracking a 3.0 pack to get them that be difficiult. I...
Umm not sure even where to start but take a look at this: LHD Roadster UK for Sale £80k - 2010 Brabus Tesla Roadster Sport 3.0 LHD Carbon pack |...
Rumours of 3.0 taking at least 12 months now, I went for the 3.0 over the 2.0 replacement as part of my battery replacement agreement, it cost £5k...
You know what is really interesting in that data sheet is the the mechanical durability specification - it states “ Mate connectors up to {25...
The fans whilst IP68 (sealed for water ingress) still leak, and eventually the bearings start to seize, I had one which seized sufficiently to...
1146 errors suck. But as @dpeilow and I have significant experience of this, they can be rectified fairly easily. The problem as @petergrub...
Interestingly I was at Williams Advanced Engineering manufacturing site today looking at their battery facility for Formula Electric, and they...
Not possible to repair, the assembly is sealed at manufacturing level, the problem with most LED small light assemblies now is that they are...
Ah yes that fun saga :confused: I had my Roadster wrapped earlier this year, and on reattaching the side repeaters, one failed (guess LED early...
I noted that the Roadster chargers have all disappeared from both Plug Share and Zap Map, probably a conspiracy. The Type 2 will depending on the...
Been there, or very close to it last year after getting my 3.0 pack fitted. Did a range charge, topped out about 329miles, drove to Manchester...
My SC in Gatwick, UK, replace fasteners progressively during every annual service for my Roadster. As far as I can tell, they've now replaced...
Temps can be accessed via OVMS and via the diagnostic mode on the car, but as @gregd says best shared via PM, I'll be in touch shortly, the issue...
Personally, I probably would avoid putting anything on the boot lid unless you have a spare boot lid! The problem with composities is that it's...
Don't see why? It's not a 24v bus, it's 12v - it's a rare car which has a 24v secondary circuit, big trucks and buses etc operate at 24v, but the...
Sort of, but I'll write one as I did it recently to adjust for fitting a hardtop.:)
Its easy to do both, to be honest you're going to have to take off the stablising bar (at least the mounts you can leave the drop links to the...
And if you remember that situation I had when the car went from showing about 48miles remaining to abruptly dropping to "cannot calcuate range" -...
Obviously you know I’ll sign it too. Figure with the snow etc and little use over winter I’ll be seeing similar drops in CAC now to sub 199...
It’s a great deal technically (see 3.0 battery thread though for comments), I bought my UK spec Roadster Sport in 2016 with the battery...
I'm the second owner of my Roadster, the brakes were stock when I bought it. Original discs (rotors) and pads probably second set. I've replaced...
Well sure, folks do worry, that's the nature of being at the (semi) cutting edge :) However, the Plexiglas does look fantastic, its just the...
I think that if you do this, the car will throw an error if you're lucky, and if not then may decide the as you say increase the current to match,...
Try some contact cleaner on the switch - you may need to remove the switch panel - but often the contacts between the pads on the switch accumlate...
You could always bypass in the control panel - introduce a secondary switch to turn power for the headlights, would be easy to interface with the...
Ditto here
Well you could, in a kinda steam punk motor driving the existing potentiometers which sit behind that panel, or you could just tap into the...
Those comments about the Model S made me wonder whether there are similar date sets available for the S, particulary for those with batteries we...
Yup short tail, I now have some guidance on how to fit the hard top as per Tesla SC setup. Car is about to be wrapped, so I'll take a look at...
