I thought the price was pretty good for a hand made aluminum piece. Ordering one for my brother's electric Smart Car.

While not a Tesla part, I thought this was interesting....and amusing! Electric Car Custom Badges | Etsy Canada

So one person can prove they have a bigger.........

Yes, that's the one. It was with me for the last year and a half, but time to move on. djp took excellent care of it, and I continued that. Nice that the car is staying in Canada.

Car is sold and staying in Canada. I had many people ask me about bringing it into the US and registering it in their State. My advice would be to find out all about that now. If you wait until a car comes up for sale that you like and then start looking into it.......it will be sold before...

Sale pending.

Why is it still listed as “for sale”?

No, I didn't see anything like that on the car unless it is in a non-obvious place. I know when I brought a car up from the US to Canada using a shipping company, they knew the rules and regulations, so hopefully you will get at least some answer through them. The owners manuals seem to say...

A few more pictures. And the price has a little room for movement, so if you are interested make me an offer.

Significant price drop. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to sell the car, so the asking price was a bit of a trial balloon. Pretty sure I do want to sell it now, so I've dropped the price to $69,000. Oh, and it can be imported and registered in the US.

Price drop. I wasn't sure I wanted to sell this car, so the price was a bit of a trial balloon. But now I think I do, so I'll drop the price dramatically. New price: $69,000 US. Rick

Of course it comes with all the original guides and owners manual that store in the metal case under the passenger seat; that's a cool feature (necessary since they don't fit in the glove compartment).

Thank you for that. I also confirmed it. Of course any potential buyer would have to do their own homework.

Posted in the Classifieds, but thought I'd mention it here. It is a very nice one. 2010 Roadster 2.0 - upgraded

I put an ad in the classified section for my Roadster. No sense repeating it here. I do think it is one of the nicest, most fully equipped ones there is. Some people on the forum know the car....."djp" was the previous owner. I would appreciate it if anyone knows about getting it registered in...

I have no idea. I would assume so, but really don't know. Maybe others on the forum would know.

A couple more pictures.

Certainly one of the best condition and most fully equipped Roadsters you’ll find. Fully upgraded by Tesla (headlights, sport suspension, double DIN dash). Exterior Premium Electric Blue paint 3M VentureShield protective wrap on most body panels subject to damage Opticoat paint protection...

I didn't mean "original battery" as adding value, I actually meant it as reducing value. Good information, thank you. I love the car, but am getting worried if it needs a serious repair to the electronics at some point that the parts just aren't available.

The value of these cars seems to be all over the place. Normally when I consider selling a car I can do some research and determine pretty well what the selling price is going to be. Ignoring the $1M ones, what would a very good condition one go for in the US? Original battery with CAC of 148 (I...

Parked next to its distant cousin.

I did open and close it many times quickly and that didn't seem to do anything. Maybe it is a more minor reset?

It is charging! I rebooted the VMS this morning and that seems to have fixed whatever was going on. It is charging with the yellow 120v cable now. I may try my 240v charger later as I've never tried it before and should make sure it works. But for now, I'll leave it drinking in the electrons...

Here are some pictures of the charging cable plug. The test/reset works, and there was power into the PEM fuses with it hooked up, and nothing with it not hooked up. That tells me it is working, but maybe not?

Just checked some more things that were suggested. I did have the charging set to start at a certain time, but changed that to "start on plug in" when I started this trouble-shooting. LIM%=15, MIN%=15, MAX%=18. Charging screen: pilot signal ON. Everything else looked OK, but not sure what I was...

No power on the AC1 connection. I removed, cleaned, and reinstalled the purple wire. No change in the symptoms.

I just checked those fuses and they are good. The ones I checked previously were the very large, bolted-in ones. I checked for power at various connections in the fuse box. I got no power at the AC1 or AC2 (with respect to the black B- ground) without the charger plugged in. With it plugged in...

Where is this purple wire? I'll try leaving it plugged into the 240v outlet, but the 120v has been working fine for a year. Strange that the charging port lights are white when the plug is in but not connected at the wall. Then turns blue when plugged into the wall. So obviously part of the car...

Yes, verified the outlet has power. How do I disconnect the battery to keep it from draining? Sorry, but not clear from what I'm reading. Mississauga is the one I would go to.

Fuses are both OK. Maybe I get it flat-bedded to a Tesla dealer and hope for a good experience?

I see the fuses. I assume I measure the voltage with the charger connected? And measure the voltage at each end of the fuse with respect to the ground lead? Thank you very much again.

Do you know what the voltage should be at the various pins on the yellow charger cable? When it is plugged into the car, but not the wall, the charger door lights are white. When I plug it into the wall they turn blue. So obviously some part of the car knows that the charger is plugged in. I'll...

Watch the voltage where?

Oh, I also have the 2 "cans" but don't see how they will help me right now.

I appreciate the quick replies. I opened and closed the charging door many time.....nothing. I have the yellow 120v charging cable. And I have a Tesla brand adapter/charger thing. Sorry, don't know what it is called. Basically it plugs into the car and has a control unit and a bunch of wall...

I'm panicking a bit here. I always keep my car plugged into 120v outlet, using what I assume is the yellow cable that came with the car. As it generally takes care of itself, it is always charged when I get in. Not today. Haven't used it in a couple weeks or so. Got in it today and it says it...

Not sure about the "better price", unless the $69,500 is Canadian $'s.

No, that is not my car. And yes, djp's car was sold some time ago.........to me! I did look at that car at Shift. I would have bought it but they sent it out to Tesla to be checked out for me after I looked at it and forgot to let me know when it was back. Yes, despite my emails reminding them...

I just put my Visium top on today; the weather is getting cooler so I won't be taking the top off. Took me about 15 minutes to fit it since I took too much apart when I took it off. Fits perfectly and can be snugged down and tightened up if it starts to rattle. Love the more open feeling with it...

A very simple way I've used in the past was to touch them up with model paint. The small tins of Humbrol left over from my plastic model building days. Not perfect, but standing beside the car you couldn't see the touch-up. This was on a Ferrari wheel, so was probably the cheapest fix ever on a...

I’m using the 12v source from the previous radio, so I don’t know what is going on. I’ve found 2 different pins in the radio harness (the part in the car) and both are about a volt lower than the 12v battery, and drop significantly when a load is put on them. If I could run a wire directly from...

And does it have 12 volts when the car is asleep?

Where is it?

I've been playing around with trying to get this to work properly, without success so far. The issue seems to be that the constant 12 volt supply from the connector in the dash drops to around 8 volts when I hook up the radio, so the radio won't work. I hooked it up to the 12 volt accessory...

Is this supposed to be connected somewhere or is it some sort of diagnostic connection? It was up tucked away and dropped down when I was poking around there.

I decided to have another look at this and improve it. There is so little space for the air to get in to the blower that it can't be good, even though my temperatures were OK. You can see from the side, if you picture the lower plate in place it is almost sealed. There are some small gaps that...

How can the life of electrolytic capacitors be 7-8 years on a shelf and "even shorter...in a car"? That would mean that pretty much every PEM would have failed by now.

No. If you look at the picture you’ll see that the snow shield (I think that’s what it’s called) blocks that area off completely from the wheel area.

Being the curious type I took the rear plastic pan off the bottom of the car to check out the blower. Everything looked pretty good (but I cleaned the connectors and re-Deoxit'd them). But with the pan on it looks like almost a sealed compartment, so where does the air come in for the blowers...

I was reading reviews of Deoxit on Amazon and found this: "DO NOT USE ON SEALED AUTOMOTIVE WEATHERPACK TYPE CONNECTORS. It DESTROYS the rubber seals inside of them. Was looking to clean and protect the weatherpack junctions on my truck and watercraft. It destroyed the rubber seal that keeps...
