Great report and glad Carl could help. Question - is the VMS accessed inside the car by the passenger footwell or is it through the front above...
This signature car just sold on BringaTrailer for $182,000 a couple weeks ago. It had over 3x more miles and an accident but better standard...
What an amazing story and a beautiful car you have there. I have a 2008 same Twilight Blue and it is the most fun car on the street I have owned.
What is your ideal range on a 110v 12a where you don't range charge?
OK - Friday 30 mins before was supposed to be somewhere I thought I would just pop on my new Visium. So excited - what could go wrong?! 30 mins...
Yes - I purchased it site unseen and have enjoyed daily driving it after spending some money with Carl's shop in Seatle to make it perfect for my...
No hard feelings at all. I respect and admire your work. I believe "the best data wins". I always try to listen like I am wrong. That said...
Correct
GeoTab found that the the two biggest factors affecting the life of EV batteries are battery cooling and frequent high power DC charging. Age and...
I too gave up trying to get it to work on my 1.5. I have a small remote that fits perfectly in the little area where the front trunk release is...
I looked into this as well. I do have 2 circuits but would have had to remove the GFI in the wall which is not to code so I decided to hack the...
Last night I replaced the three-prong plug on the 110 volt Tesla charger. I removed the ground fault interrupt. The temperatures were in the 50s...
I use 240 volt. Sorry for typo. I did replace 110v plug to remove GFI and charge on a cool night so we will see in am
Yes - those errors were on the 110v - I should have pointed that out. Here in the US, our AC lines are 110v is 60Hz I assumed that it got higher...
Guessing a little from Carl's error codes since it doesn't have explinations for every one but you will see above ERR | error code 925 6 bytes...
Great tip on the diagnostics page for vitals - thank you! Forgot about that. As for losing miles overnight it has been very mild. I can...
I think you are probably right about the 16a / 220v but I also think the GFI was part of my problem (lots of reported fails here). I always...
1) OVMS = No (I know - I know) 2) I have nightly charged every single day for months and it was always between 181-185 on 110v and 177-181 on...
Couple of things. We have the new and improved Dryer Buddy that auto switches (great family owned business/product!). That 30 AMP dryer plug...
Quick update 2 days ago on 110v lost 20 miles of range on a charge = 165 ideal 1 day ago on 110v lost another 10 miles of ideal range =155 miles...
No I was always looking at ideal range and I do switch between 110 volt and 240 v. I used 240 v 16 amp when it's hot out and I want to initiate a...
I purchased my roadster 1.5 back in January and am loving it. I have put many mods including preventative PEM work. I usually only charge 110V...
Just got mine yesterday. Will probably try it this weekend when I install my new rotors thanks to Titanium Dave!
Mine should be here in the next 10 days - excited and thank you for posting.
OK - unplug the 110v. Remove any extension cables if you can. Now open / close the charge door all the way like 15 times (I think 5 is enough...
Not sure about catching dirt but agree that the wind by the ocean would be a problem. I have a couple 3 LB soft hand weights I am experimenting...
I have a DD for really rainy days. I use it to protect against the sun and the occasional rain cloud but I am sure you are right if it was a...
This folds up very small inside the car (don't have to fetch soft top out of the trunk, remove everything on top of it in the trunk, get it out of...
OK - couple other reviews I have been meaning to post. First off - I love top down driving but when I get to work I don't want to put the soft...
Thank you! For the record Carl has encouraged me to be "brutally honest" I get nothing for any of this. I do have my own small business 22...
My car lived in Seattle and is now in St. Louis. It was never range charged and never on anything but the standard 110v. It only has 10k miles....
Yes - I did
As many of you know I purchased #314 in Seattle and drive it immediately to Carl's shop Medlock and Sons. The car was pretty much perfect / stock...

I stand by my statement. For battery longevity/health (if that is your goal). The enemy of a battery is depletion, heat, and vibration. The...
Change at lowest amps possible for your driving situation. Avoid range charging. Keep plugged in. I only use 240 for cooling an hour then back...
My attached pictures were both ideal range but that is a good clarification.
Wow that is amazing! To rack up that many miles must be a record. On the other hand 95 miles is probably 1/2 of that in reality if you drive it...
Just amazed at the engineering that went into these cars. I have a 08 1.5 that regularly charges to 188 - 185 standard charge miles. I think...
I love love love my single din deck and it sounds AMAZING with Carl's upgrades - I need to post. Just been slammed at work and have 4 college...
The housing looks interesting and like a good innovation. Can't tell if they have the set screw that allows you to rotate the light so when it is...
Pretty cool stuff - thank you!
In the months of research before and after I bought the roadster I read 3+ years of this forum. In all that time I saw references to how...
If you own a home you might consider a home equity loan or line of credit and using the funds to purchase a car There are several lenders that do...
I received a email from the seller that the country is shut down for 30 days and they are having trouble getting the supplies so all shipments...
My research is that you should use a 240-volt low amp charger so that the cooling can initiate with the air conditioner. 14 amps low Either...
Too bad you don't live closer. I have done it so many times I could do it blindfolded now! GL and let me know if you get stuck or anything.
I can still confirm 2 weeks later that these work amazingly with no resistors so long as you align them correctly (must be vertical) and you...
https://electrek.co/2020/03/25/elon-musk-secure-tesla-first-store-roadsster-patents/ Looks like Gruber motors contributed to the story and it's a...
There is a lot to unpack there. I would say try to get some seat time for your folks in a M3 performance or something more readily available....
