Separate names with a comma.
My first reaction when I saw this picture was, "Are those a bunch of 3/4 scale models?"
I also own both cars. A Boxster S since new in 2007 and the Roadster for the last two years. Other than the obvious quickness difference there...
#0681 is packed and ready for her trip to Gruber's in Phoenix. I had an interesting time getting her out of the garage today. I pulled the ESS...
Theoretical Mathematics, CS, and Aeronautical Engineering degrees. But want to be retired and own a brewery.
This sounds like a bunch of whining to me. Roadster owners can't get parts. Tesla won't repair our batteries: they will replace it for $29,000...
I'm only 5' 7" tall, so I don't have the longest arms, and I was able to reach it and disconnect it rather easily. I don't understand why...
This sounds all well and good, but WHEN is battery day, and HOW MUCH will the "night and day difference" cost? I'm in the process of sending my...
I would say, "Hang in there." Us Roadster owners were basically left out in the cold on service once the MXs came out or thereabouts. Like...
Psychologists will tell you there are five phases of grieving: Denial; Anger; Bargaining; Depression; and Acceptance. Although that is a normal...
This is great information. (I knew I would eventually figure out how this car works.) So does it matter when I check the SOC? Obviously...
BTW - I heard back from Peter Gruber and he said the car has "a resistive brick, #96. The decline started Saturday evening on June 13th and has...
So what does the MIN % mean? I thought it was the maximum the car would charge the battery based on the lowest brick. If this is the case, and...
I'm the kind of person who can take bad news, so if she has cancer I won't cry....in front of any of you. Seriously though, I understand the...
Looking at the SOC it shows: LIM 41% MIN 41% MAX 85% Is the best way to balance the battery is charge it at 240V 24A and let it sit for a while?
The 1065 was when the neighborhood power went out as I was charging. It was not my GFCI nor my breaker. The power goes out here somewhat...
Oh I've done that Greg, but I don't know what these codes are: 1065 65535 53 104 953 So this pig still can't tell you what time it is... l0l
So the latest is I pulled the logs and called Gruber. Gruber had me send them the logs and are looking over it. In the mean time, they suggested...
I downloaded the VMSParser and have the executable on my desktop but when I launch it the command promt screen shows up for a second and then...
So newest data point: I put about 35-40 miles on it yesterday, brought it home, let it cool down, and then put the charger on it. (Standard mode,...
Henry asked me to post this in this thread so all can take advantage. My questions are in red bold print, Henry's are in blue underlined print,...
Sorry - this should be IDEAL range not estimated range. The charge stopped at 120 IDEAL range when I used to get 180-185 IDEAL range.
Am wondering if someone can help me with a question about charging. #0681 (2010 2.0 w/ original pack) just spent 3 1/2 months in the boy shop -...
Does anyone know if there is another rotor option for replacing the Roadster's horrendous brakes, now that it looks like titaniumdave has gone...
I'm looking for a dome light assembly and the trunk light assembly. Do you have those available?
I went to their web site but they don't list the price. Can you give us a 'balpark' of what this roof costs? I love the soft top but wouldn't...
Welcome to the club Asimo. Love the white - same as mine.
I was under the impression the Roadster had different frit on the windshield than the Elise. The windshield will fit but you won't be able to...
I've actually had good results using the [email protected] email address. The SC in Pensacola has gotten back to me within two work...
Shawn - I am totally aware of this and have talked to the Lotus parts guy about this exact part number. What he told me is he's seen two...
Thanks to all who have posted about replacing incand lights with LEDs. I have a different problem: My dome light didn't come with a bulb or...
It's still a bargain at less than $800!!!
So Lou, I've gone through a bunch of different ceramic coatings (F-11, ExoForma, The Last Coat) and my opinion is the quality of the paint they go...
Of course someone bought it: He offered it at 80 percent off!!! Original listed price was $3,997.55. So it was a BARGAIN at $799.51. l0l And I...
Well I hold a Top Secret with Special Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) access security clearance and have since 1987, so I think I can be...
You are correct CarNut - I should have said "getting in and out." l0l
I did the same thing about 18 months ago. I hope to drive my Roadster for the next 10 years, or I get too old to be able to actually get into it.
I looked at this HPC on ebay and have a question: Would it be better to buy a more modern charging station from Clipper Creek, or this one? I...
A couple of times - when the key remote was not working - I unlocked the door using the keyhole in the bottom of the driver's door. That set off...
Does anyone know how I can retrieve the PIN from my car? I bought it used and the previous owner had no idea there even was a PIN for the car....
The #1 comment I get in the Florida panhandle is, "I've never seen one of these in real life. Plenty of pictures, but not one in person." I too...
No. For the back of the door Lotus went with a squared off stripping for the Elise and the Roadster is rounded. I talked to two different Lotus...
What has been your experience with hearing back from Tesla using the [email protected] email address? I've emailed them twice looking...
You are correct Mike: the SC will do anything I want/need with the exception of the HV system. Tesla's policy is if there is any HV work needed...
I think you are on to something there. The Decatur SC said I needed to ensure the ONLY tech they had with any experience on the Roadster had to...
Do you have a model number on this? I can't seem to find it on OpenEVSE's web site. Unless they don't make it any longer...
The SC manger in Jax said Tesla gave the discretion to the managers on what they will/won't do with Unsupported cars. He told me he is willing to...
Pardon my ignorance, but what is "the R80 upgrade?" Is that the $29,000 3.0 battery upgrade?
My buddy was looking for a Roadster 2.0 or Sport and remarked that he doesn't see any white ones (like mine) available for sale. He asked if I...
I am the owner of 0681 which was wrecked (totaled) in 2011, rebuilt overseas, and brought back to the US in 2012. Since 2011 the car has been on...
I'm the new owner of #0681 and am in the process of getting Tesla to service the car -- which I know will take a while if it happens at all... My...
