Hi, I'd like to add some notes to error ID:287 "Powertrain Problem / Service Required" which came up yesterday after I had been driving in fierce...
Hmm, I sort of see what you mean from the photos. But trust me the "before" looked dirty and old, and the "after" looks as good as new. I probably...
I know there's a couple of threads about headlights and issues with peeling covers etc., but I couldn't find anything about the odd patchy rainbow...
OK, thanks for the clear replies. My natural brute-force inclination to send keepalive wake-up messages via OVMS every 15 mins is probably not...
Short version: Anyone got accurate information on when the 12V outlet is on/off on a Roadster 2.5? Can it be forced to stay on using a service...
Best picture of my car I've ever seen This was from "Cars & Croissants" New Jersey on Sunday. It really brings home to me the difference between...
There was a recent raid on the "Dark Net", as documented e.g. here: Silk Road 2 seized in international dark web drug bust (Wired UK) From the...
+1 to that. I commuted a few months on the NJ turnpike with the stock (Halogen) lights - the oncoming traffic is so heavy and bright that it looks...
One of our neighbours is a partner in a company which tricks-out vehicles for law enforcement & fire departments. This is how he dropped his...
We <heart> OVMS Last night after a particularly chaotic trip to the local swimming pool and a subqequent car swap, my better half managed to lock...
Great - thanks. Also +1 for the lego guy, now I've got "Everything is Awesome" stuck in my head again! Can you tell me - which stereo unit is...
I don't know about "differently" - the NJ Service Center seems to treat everyone pretty well. I have been really impressed with the last few...
Standard mode jumped 165 to 187 miles For the past year I have been driving the Roadster every day, but not far, typically 20 miles/day. I...
Thanks, I had already checked that and it is set. Everything under "Settings" seems to be set up to receive the alerts, which made me wonder if it...
OVMS alerts going to wrong device [This is probably iPhone specific, I'm not an experienced iPhone user and only have one for OVMS... sorry for...
"divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived..." This very interesting thread deserves a table on the Wiki. I'll start one at some...
Sorry it took me so long to catch up with this thread! This is a well-known celebrity from Princeton. He was at the Hamilton Supercharger event in...
My Roadster just went in for the 36,000 mile service last week (before the 3-year ownership threshold). So my comments: It cost me $600...
Nigel, very cool, thanks for writing it up, and I have to tip my hat to you for putting in the effort with this project. Thanks on behalf of the...
I got sidetracked by other projects and funding was cut to this, so I didn't buy anything. I think it's still sitting sadly in my amazon basket in...
Checked the hub - that line looking like a crack was just a streak of grease or something. No damage. Thanks though.
Thanks - will try that. From a quick googling it sounds perfect. I noticed that in the photo too but didn't know what to make of it. Will take...
I want to fix this rust: [ATTACH] Any suggestions? I know this is not Roadster-specific but given that it's almost the only visible...
Sorry if I missed it but have you mentioned Tesla Motors' reaction to stuff like this Parrot installation? I'd love to do this. Looks amazing and...
Thanks for the correction! Also to Doug for fixing the thread title. I think I was really wishing it was the Kramer from Seinfeld, followed next...
Kramer is fond of hyperbole but has only been on air for a few minutes so far, already has said "Driving a Tesla has change my life!" and "The...
Sorry for the delay - yes, he has a 1.5 and has not had any problems AFAIK. I'll ask him to weigh in here. EDIT: I saw from the 1.5 tire thread...
Another TMC member, who lives near me and has a lot more experience with performance driving, has put the DZ101s on both front and rear. I...
Good points - in the end I went with a very low cost tire; Dunlop Direzza DZ101s and only replaced the rears. My Wife says she thinks they feel...
I think they did the same for the Roadster didn't they? i.e. demo cars would get $1 discount per mile driven... But maybe not the age aspect. I'd...
Nice article. This has been picked up over at "valuewalk" .. At least you're given the credit:...
Thanks for the insights, guys... This makes sense to me but I also have an email from a tire guy (admittedly, he's trying to sell me tires)....
For me, OVMS unlock only temporarily unlocks the car. After a minute or less it re-locks. Is this normal? I scanned the documentation but can't...
That's beautiful. Thanks for posting - I wouldn't have believed it was possible, especially at that price. I'm thinking of wrapping my rear...
I think the need arises when you have two sets of wheels - I've got one set for summer and one for winter, and I swap them myself. Every time I...
I looked at these; a few people I've talked to said I should not mix types (I assume your fronts are still AD07s or AD08s). Have you noticed any...
My Roadster went into the shop today for a week - probably doesn't need a week but I'm going away so I asked them them to keep it. And now it's...
I don't think anyone on this forum would call this CNBC coverage less than amazing. Possibly "game changing". I've watched CNBC pretty much all...
And so far, LeBeau has really done a great job, at least on the on-air parts I've been watching. Very balanced. I think he did mention that the...
To CNBC's credit they are currently (Tuesday a.m.) running a LIVE test drive of the Model S with the auto reporter, Phil LeBeau. So far he seems...
Extreme Brodering From a comment I made on the engadget coverage [1]: P.S. I will not actually do this, even if TEG, Bonnie and Doug all...
Nice! Next time I go scuba diving, I might just intentionally half fill my tanks and drown halfway through the dive. That's Extreme Brodering.
Great videos 7racer, thanks! I think I want your life - sports cars, trampolines and exotic vacations :-) Having looked through the specs I am...
Thanks for linking to those videos; both are great! Footage is pretty good too. So now I'm a bit torn, and might choose the GP just because I'd be...
Having looked around a lot (thanks for all the pointers), this seems to be the best one for my needs. Surprisingly expensive at $300 but probably...
Actually the type of thing I am looking for is something which loops foverever, but at any time you can recover the last hour of footage. This...
I've long wanted to record video from my Roadster dash but not sure which cameras are good for us. Any suggestions/experiences? I did search...
RexT from Connecticut, wherever you are, I tip my hat to you. link to comment: That Tesla Data: What It Says and What It Doesnt - NYTimes.com
Exactly the same happened to me yesterday - Roadster was outside at work at around 17F or ~ -8C and had zero regen when I took off. A first for me...
Just a quick thank you to MPT after he recently updated my OVMS firmware for me. New version works a treat and I'm having a lot of fun controlling...
