    2008 Roadster 1.5, Very Orange, +26K miles

    Hey all. Since getting the S, it's safe to say my Roadster isn't going to have nearly as many miles put on it as before, so I'm toying with the idea of selling it. And to be honest, I really don't have an asking price in mind. Would entertain any serious inquiries. Here's the thread from...

    21" wheels now included on Performance?

    Am I losing my mind, or did the website change from the 21" wheels being a $3500 upgrade to included in the price of the Performance S some time today? I ask because I've been waffling on how to finish my reservation and I could swear they are priced differently now. I could just be...

    Gray on Gray or Red on Silver?

    Anyone have either color/wheel combo and pictures they'd like to share? I'm waffling between metallic gray on gray wheels for the "super spy" look, or red on silver for the "super hero" look. Would love to see some photos of either combo. Edit: Nevermind, found the galleries in the sticky...

    Looking for advice from Roadster and Performance S owners

    Hi all. Just got notice I need to make my design choices in the next month to maintain the old pricing schedule. My reservation was placed 10/19/12. I'm a current Roadster owner, and I'm waffling between keeping the Roadster and getting an entry level S, or unloading the Roadster and...

    Anyone selling a carbon hard top?

    Or a very orange? I've decided I can still regularly drive in the winter around here, but want it warmer than it is with the soft top. Hoping someone might have a top sitting around collecting dust that they'd sell for a song...

    Frequent charging options

    So I finally have a way to charge at both work and home. Both are 50a NEMA 14-50s that are pretty much dedicated, so I can do a full 40a if I need to. Most of the time I'll be leaving one location on a full charge (typically 185-187 ideal miles) and arriving at the other after ±40 miles of 65...

    "Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum" via indiegogo

    Not that it's directly related to the car, but thought this was kind of funny (and a worthy project): Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum -- Indiegogo

    Stripped screw on soft top

    The screw for the little tension cord on my soft top stripped out of the hard rubber that rolls over the windows. Super glue worked for awhile, but with the weather being nicer and the top coming on and off a lot more it looks like that's no longer an option. Anyone have any suggestions...

    Variable charging rate?

    Is there any way to set the amp draw to adjust over the course of a charge? Say I want to charge at work for 8 or 9 hours. Is it possible to do 40A for half an hour, then automatically switch to 16A for half an hour (or even off), then back again? Rinse. Repeat. I'm asking because as it...

    220: Two outlets, two cars, one line

    There's a high probability our garage will be the home of a Roadster and an S by the end of 2013. I'm charging 220 exclusively at the office right now, and would like to wire the home garage with a pair of outlets on one 220 line. Does anyone have any experience charging two cars on the same...

    Battery "grinding" sound?

    Anyone else have the battery cooling/heating system make a "lawnmower" or grinding sound, like it's working extra hard? I hear it periodically after my 40 mile highway commute in cold weather, but there's no real pattern. It's usually when the weather is below 40F and I've been running...

    Cold weather tips

    Have had the 08 Roadster for about a month now and we just hit our (Omaha) first night of crazy cold (low single digits). I don't have access to charging at home yet (can easily fill up at work every day and plan to have the charge-at-home straightened out shortly), so I'm soliciting any...
