    2008 ROADSTER WONT MOVE- THE ANSWER?

    I appreciate the comments and certainly agree that the west coast is the roadster hub with lots more knowledgable people. What I've been learning is that there was a mass exodus of the Love Child engineers four years ago and that's when the more significant issues for the Roadster started...

    The Roadster has been at Tesla Paramus, NJ for a month now and everything seems to be hush hush on their side. 2 weeks ago i was told that the car needed an $1100 board that will solve the problem possibly 70% and 30% that it wouldn't.
