Separate names with a comma.
In Ontario we have 1:1 net metering, but the feed-in and grid usage are treated as separate transactions with tax charged on grid use and no...
What exactly is the difference between “off grid” mode and “self powered” mode? I haven’t seen any documentation from Tesla on the off-grid option.
Congrats @pz1975, great to hear that 939 has a new home! The car is perfect for twisty mountain roads, I'm sure you'll love driving it as much as...
I replaced mine with a length of non-stretch Spectra line. Cheaper than cable and available at any marine store.
With the arrival of my Model 3 I'm considering parting with my Roadster. This is a rare opportunity to own Tesla's first production car, only ~50...
Good luck! One word of advice from my experience with longer road trips - try to avoid freeways and take more direct routes on two-lane highways...
@vinko - on the Roadsters we have access to the log files and service menus so we can directly read the Calculated Amphour Capacity (CAC). For...
Error 1144 could also be the wiring harness or the connector. My service centre tried three different fans before they realized the harness was...
Another option is do a range charge and then let it sit in the garage for a day with the cabin heat running on full. You don't need to take the...
I also had an intermittent 1144 PEM Fan error on my Roadster, it would come up randomly and seemed unrelated to PEM temperature or driving...
The battery cooling is more aggressive if you charge in Range mode. It won't run continuously, but it does target a lower temperature than a...
If the car is going to be in storage for a few months you can change the charging mode to "Storage". This lets the charge level drop to about 20%...
How far are you from the service centre? I wouldn't be too concerned about driving it short distances. The pack takes a while to warm up,...
Yes, 4.6.8.33 is the older version that doesn't support 80A pilot signals. The problem is definirely the old firmware.
The firmware version is displayed for a few seconds on the VDS when you turn on the car. Version 4.6.8.40 is the one that enabled charging on an...
Check which firmware version you have installed on the Roadster. There's an update needed to charge off an 80A pilot signal, it's possible you're...
Here's the catalog: http://www.masterflux.com/userimages/Brochure/MasterFlux%20Catalog%20TC-001%20R1-web.pdf
That section of the manual describes the Performance charging mode, not the Performance driving mode. A Performance charge is similar to a Range...
You can add HomeLink controllers in the Settings menu (under the Wrench icon when you have the parking brake on). [ATTACH]
The rubber buffers go on the calipers above and below the brake pads. Another thing you can try is to use your fist or a rubber hammer to bang on...
No, that's not normal. My PEM generally runs at 20F over ambient temperature, and kicks out of Performance Mode when it reaches 113F. It sounds...
Yes, that's it. I've had to reapply it a few times and my rear pads could use another coat again. Next time I pull the tires off I'll use a...
I think the best solution is to stick a buffer on the back of the pad in addition to using those strips on the caliper. I'm using the caliper...
What type of brake pads are you using, and do you have anti-rattle shims? Does the rattle stop when you apply the brakes? The rattle sounds a...
The larger pack will have less voltage drop during hard acceleration so will be able to deliver more power, even without changing the PEM. It's...
I've had the same thing happen to my instrument panel a few times. It seemed to be triggered by hard acceleration but not easily repeatable. The...
@markwj is correct, my Service Advisor confirmed that event logs are sent over-the-air for 2.x cars. Unfortunately Tesla let the data plan lapse...
Same, I haven't noticed a difference in range. I'm sure it's slightly lower, but I don't ever push the range to a point where it would matter....
Dropping the tire pressure down to the Comfort settings (25psi front, 36psi rear) also helps compared to the standard setting (30/40). I think...
Confirmed, I bought four sensors from my Tesla service centre last week. Cost was $26 CAD each, or about $20 US.
Don't worry about the 85%, that's the normal level for a Standard Charge. A Range Charge will bring it up to 95%. The best measure of battery...
Check the underside of your nose, you might already have two holes there. I replaced the plastic bracket with two metal arms that I bolted into...
I have a spare standard plastic mount. It's yours if you want it. [ATTACH]
This PowerPoint presentation from the early years is a good reference. http://www.speautomotive.com/SPEA_CD/SPEA2009/pdf/KEY/K4.pdf
Very bad. Unlike the Model S, the Roadster doesn't automatically disconnect the battery to protect it from fully discharging. If you completely...
Yes, the max power will fall as the battery ages. Over time the internal resistance of the battery increases which means you'll see more voltage...
You have a ways go, it maintains the charge level around 20%.
You could still close one side of the trunk lid to keep the trunk closed and protected. Possibly even both sides if the cable is run through the...
If you want to service your car using a four point hydraulic lift, you'll need spacers for the two rear lift points. The adapters align with...
The height of the windows is adjustable to meet the seal. Here's the section from the Owners Manual. [ATTACH]
Selling a Canadian car into the States isn't a problem, the import restriction is northbound only.
If it's a supplier issue and Tesla still intends to deliver 72A chargers, then they should make it an option. Start by building 48A cars for...
ChicagoNext Chairman Mark Tebbe Got One of the First Tesla Model X SUVs
It's disappointing that Tesla has decided to go with an onboard charger that is less capable than the Roadster. Supercharger coverage is still...
Under the floor of the trunk there are divided sections with room for small tools and an LED flashlight. You can also fit a tupperware container...
Yes, the seat back cushion is velcro'd to the seat frame. You can lift the cushion and slide a foam insert under the leather for lumbar support....
It should, but I've never tried it. Worst case it'll restart in 24hrs at the next scheduled charge time.
When I pack my Roadster away for the winter I usually do a Standard charge and then switch to Storage mode. It takes about two months to run down...
Do you have a rubber inflator bulb for the lumbar support (old seats)? Or does the seat back have a Velcro pouch for foam lumbar support inserts...
The 2.5 front and rear body panels were sold separately as an upgrade on the Tesla Accessories web site. With your VIN number I can guarantee...
