i ended up selling the CF hardtop to someone locally. i just listed the taylor meshtop (made from a donor OEM tesla softtop) on eBay.

I just listed my Taylor MeshTop on eBay. it is a conversion of an OEM Tesla SoftTop so properly meets the Tesla windows, etc.

i have a "clear" tesla CF hard top (so unpainted showing CF pattern, not clear plastic) with paint armor and mounting HW and tesla bag that i am going to list for sale. (also some goes for a taylor mesh top made from a donor tesla soft top.)

for low (unit) volume applications, i'd consider using one of the variants of 3M flourinert as the cooling fluid. i've previously utilized it as a pressure compensation liquid (in conjunction with a bellows) for the electronics compartment of an deep sea oceanographic instrument i...

they attach with a set screw (i added photos to the listing showing the set screw and also the light pipe for the illuminated portion. i don't know about the later ones breaking.

FS: roadster OEM front license plate mount i am pretty sure this is the original front license plate mount (front license plate required in california and some other states in USA.) in any case, it came with the car. i ended up buying a 3rd party front license plate mount. i don't know how it...

FS: roadster hard top thin storage sleeve (NOS) this was the thin storage sleeve that comes with a roadster hard top. i never opened it as i bought the optional padded sleeve. i just opened the package to take the photo above, so this item is essentially new. item is located in san...

FS: roadster 2.0 aluminum climate control knobs these are the earlier style of illuminated aluminum climate control knob. i replaced these at under 1000 miles with the later style that i found aesthetically preferable. item is located in san francisco. will ship priority mail. i have set up...

FS: tesla roadster 2.0 lock set (damaged) the ignition key in my 2.0 roadster became sticky (hard to turn) and tesla replaced the whole lockset (said it was something wrong with the ignition lock.) not sure if it can be fixed or how hard it would be to repair. sold AS-IS. item is located in...

FS: tesla roadster 2.0 canadian VMS computer my 2.0 roadster was a USA model that spent its first 861 miles living in Canada. when it returned to the united states, tesla replaced the VMS (apparently due to firmware differences relating to cell network connection, and daytime running lights...

FS: tesla roadster 2.0 OEM shock absorbers and sway bars these are the original shocks and sway bars for my 2.0 roadster. these were taken off the car when i upgraded to the adjustable suspension at around 1000 miles. item is located in san francisco. just the parts (without packaging) weigh...

FS: tesla roadster 2.0 set of interior black trim panels this is a set of black (seemingly leather or faux leather) interior panels for my 2.0 roadster. my roadster was ordered with carbon fiber interior trim option but those were not ready when the car was ready so they shipped the car with...

FS: tesla roadster carbon fiber trunk this trunk was on my roadster until it got slightly damaged (you can see the small crack in the photo where my finger is pointing) and replaced. there is also one small crack on the bottom of the tub, but i had previously not even noticed (also in photos)...

i have a number of roadster parts to sell but the parts for sale forum takes you to a selling partner (panjo.com) which both messed with my photos and also requires that you set a price where i just want to more informally list the items and have folks make offers. i guess the alternative is to...

we just bought two of these (basic model, assembled) to install at our office. i thought they were 50A, but looking at their site it seems to be a bit higher: "enable J1772 charging of your vehicle up to 240V 60A (output current limit is user-adjustable)" we are waiting on one final cable...

i love my OVMS and it comes with real apps on iOS and android.

sounded like traction control to me too.

i looked at a couple of older threads about 2.5 roadster compatibility but did not get a clear sense of what worked and what did not work. can someone tell me if i replace the original 30-pin cable that came with my roadster with the newer lightning connector cable, which (if any) of the...

though i am in san francisco, i'd go for a set of mats if they added some more padding and helped reduce noise (and carpet wear) a bit more

finally got my OVMS installed and working (big thanks to bennett and mark for going the extra mile to get me going!) it is an amazing addition to the roadster! if you have a roadster you should get one of these for certain.

i'd like to buy a roadster UMC as well.

is that the burlingame facility? looks like my car in the background of the video (dropped it off on october 22nd for a few days of service.)

is the fix just a firmware update or does it involve hardware changes? my roadster is going in for minor service (GPS stopped working after annual service a few weeks ago) in a couple weeks so i'll ask about getting it then. thanks!

Montgom626's is sold. anyone else have one available? thanks!

tesla has replaced sensors and antennas multiple times on my 2.0. the TPMS system on the 1.5 is different than that used on the 2.0/2.5. the 1.5 TPMS is (generally reported to be) reliable. the 2.0/2.5 is not. they are both built by the same company.

i have to get my 2.0 roadster serviced approximately once a month to deal with intermittent TPMS errors. very frustrating. i have been told by a knowledgeable tesla employee that there are no problems with the 1.5 TPMS systems. (apparently the earlier models have the race version of the TPMS...

i've had an exciting new failure that i've not heard of before. a week or so ago i noticed that my charge port would sag a bit when i plugged in the HPC cable for nightly charging. after bringing it in for service at menlo park yesterday, today tesla informed me: ho ho ho. fwiw, i also...

has anyone tried the MPS PS2 ZP? after having had one flat tire, the lack of a spare of any sort makes the run-flat idea somewhat appealing. i'd be willing to trade some rolling resistance for increased peace of mind.

i was told a roadster battery retail cost was $34.5K (i believe this is without installation)

i am apparently mistaken. words fail me.

no offense, but is this a joke posting? i am having a hard time thinking it is serious given the way it is written.

fwiw, 2.0's at least until VIN 561 had a "full carbon fiber trunk"

i saw a car getting its double din upgrade at menlo park this week. the owner had opted to install a different head unit than the standard one. i asked how they handled that and the service manager said they just deduct the cost of the head unit. he mentioned they prefer the same brand of head...

i had assumed the $1600 was the installed price but failed to verify that so couldn't really complain. - - - Updated - - - i did feel the radio was easier to hear and i was lowering the volume a bit. historically, i don't even try to have phone conversations in the roadster. maybe i'll see...

today i retrieved my car after the installation of the "stage 2 interior sound kit" on my 2.0 roadster (i had previously had the "stage 1 interior sound kit" installed.) i also had the "cabin area HVAC tube upgrade installed. first thing to note is that the stage 2 interior sound kit was over...

more than a dozen fiskers burned to a crisp after being submerged in seawater during storm sandy: Jalopnik.com Updates: More Than A Dozen Fisker Karma Hybrids Caught Fire And Exploded In New Jersey Port After Sandy

in a parking garage adjacent to the federal building in SF (my rental car is parked next to the roadster... of course the only time i see a roadster in this parking structure -- and am able to park next to it -- my own roadster is at tesla being serviced!) [for some reason i am unable to upload...

i am sorry if this question is already addressed and i missed it, but how does the top interface to the tesla windows when the windows are up (i.e., is there a gap like on the lotus-derived original taylor mesh top)? thanks.

i dropped my roadster off for service today and they said the ESA was coming but not yet released. there was mention of the retail battery cost (presumably not including installation labor) being $34.5K

i dropped off my roadster (2.0 with stage 1 soundproofing kit already installed) at menlo park this morning for service including installation of the stage 2 kit. they mentioned that i was (to be) the first install of the stage 2 kit at the menlo park location. i'll report back when i pick up...

did tesla ever officially announce/release the "ESA"?

my understanding was that the roadster paint was intentionally not hard but rather relatively soft in order to accommodate the flex of the CF body panels.

i'll be curious to see. i just scheduled my "stage 2 sound kit" install (along with the foot vent thingy) for october 22nd -- i am excited. :)

good candidate for my idly contemplated shorten the roadster by the length of the trunk project...

and i definitely fall into the category of someone who bought a sports car as a side effect of wanting a long range EV in 2010. i also live in the city so the model S is simply too large to be convenient. thus i am "stuck" with trying to civilize the roadster beyond its design intent. i...
