My Roadster has the JVC KD-NX5000 single-DIN navigation head unit installed. The hard drive has died, causing the unit to click incessantly and...
When filtering the "trim level" for the Model X, you've only got the option for P90D, P100D, and P100DL. When selecting these options, the...
They switched to binary?;)
Did you consider any head units that are equipped with a remote control? Both of the singe-DIN JVC units originally available with the Roadster...
Oddly enough, the email they listed in the body of the message is not the email that that message came from, nor the email that a trade-in request...
I should have asked to keep the original part. I wasn’t confident in the diagnosis, but I wasn’t in a position or mindset to argue. The GPS...
The screen assembly. Hopefully VDS was the correct TLA.
In the end, this problem set me back over $2k. Service said that the antenna had to be replaced, and then the whole VDS had to be replaced. I have...
I just had my annual service on my 1.5 and the date came back wrong with the elevation showing NA. Is this the issue, or did the GPS module fail?
There were some parts that the technician could access without removing anything, and other parts where he had to remove the trunk and rear...
Mines in the shop right now for this very problem. They’ve replaced so many parts, but the problem seems to be the cable. A bracket appears to...
Is that a US signature (out of 100) or a European signature (out of 250). The European signatures should all be 2.x, so it would be compatible.
Pull the logs and check the cac over time. Also, give it a full charge and drive it down to below 10% in one session (one key turn). Then charge...
Has anyone tried the new(?) Yokohama Advan A052’s on the rear? They look to be an update of the A048’s, but with a much increased tread wear...
I use an older version of this: MagicMount Pro Magnetic Phone Vent Mount for the Car
Can you share the VIN?
The double-din radio was an option on the 2.5. It wasn’t standard, so some (most) have it, but a few don’t. Essentially, there were maybe 500...
Remember that checkbox you clicked when signing up for the forum? The one where you agreed to the terms of service? You might should read that....
The “capacitor plague” should have ended by 2007. It’s an interesting story of espionage and betrayal, along with multi-billion dollar...
Of it was actually a 3.0 battery, I’d jump on it. I’d expect the battery to be much easier to recover. I believe the 3.0 is stable at lower...
I believe I just responded to your email.
CAC looks to be 122. I’d have to check the logs for ideal miles, but I’d assume somewhere around 145 to 155.
I had the opportunity to look at #464 this weekend. It’s a beautiful car and I’m great shape. I didn’t even notice the squeaks and rattles that...
You’re in the Roadster section. Are you asking about a Roadster?
The only Tesla specialist in Austin is Tesla. I’d be happy to take a look it it this weekend for you.
The back is exposed on the 1.5 seats.
Historic "Tzero" that inspired Musk to create Tesla's Roadster burned down in a fire
Depends on the radio. The one with navigation has a hard-wired 30-pin wire, while the other JVC radio Has a normal usb connector.
There were two different versions of the original HPC; one made by Tesla and one made by Clipper creek. Let me see if I can find the photos. ETA:...
I’m sure the Clipper Creek version is repairable, but a parts readily available for the original Roadster HPC (built by Tesla)? I do agree that a...
It’s just the reverse. There aren’t really that many variables. For North America, anything under 500 is 2008, and anything over is 2010 or 2011....
There have been a few times when my car wouldn’t write to the usb drive. It seems like some process has locked up, usually when a prior attempt is...
That hasn’t been my experience. A door and rear quarter panel were each under $1,000. However, painting and installation of the rear quarter...
We’re in the Roadster forum here, so there’s no phone app (unless you’ve purchased and installed OVMS), and there’s no way to remotely trigger the...
Which rims? I don’t know how much it costs so refinish a wheel, but Tesla sells the base rims for $300.
Clicking can also be a rattling brake pad.
What’s the purpose of granting carpool access to electric cars? If it’s about the environment, then doesn’t it make more sense to keep older...
First of all, you’re in the original Roadster forum. You’ll have better luck in the new Roadster forum: Roadster 2020 The price really comes down...
It’s a common and oft-repeated myth that car manufacturers must make parts available for 10 years. The rumor spreads for every brand. I haven’t...
Somewhere between there; most likely. Keep in mind that you won’t actually have “supercharging,” but maybe DC-fast charging from some other...
I thought the adapters were only necessary for two-post lifts.
I’m fond of saying, “anything is possible with time and money.” There’s no such thing as “former” when it comes to salvage. It’s a salvage title...
I don’t think the “trade in” part of your question has been addressed. My understanding of recent trade-in quotes from Tesla is that they’re...
I don’t think you could swap the driver and passenger seats in a 1.5; the lumbar support is connected differently and the passenger seat doesn’t...
The plug end of the cable is known to fail but it’s easy to replace with $3 worth of parts from Home Depot. Mine is still working fine, so I...
My understanding is that the MC240 is built like a tank and incredibly reliable. The UMC is the unreliable one.
The MC120 isn’t bulky. The only problem is that the GFCI plug has a habit of going bad. It’s easily replaced.
What’s the light pattern flashing on the unit? My bet would be a poor connection. I’d disconnect the power to reboot it and then drive to an area...
Can SR and a new Model S/X/3 charger. That will probably cost you less than a used Roadster charger.
Are you sure you were in Range mode? Usually it will stop showing you the distance when it drops below ~24 miles or so, and instead says “unable...
