Apologies in advance if this has been asked 100 times. . . I can't seem to figure out how to set the date on my display. Right now, the display thinks it's January 28th 2003. I've tried EVERYTHING. Does anyone know how to set the date correctly? I can set the clock, but not the date...

Moderator note: The first three posts in this thread were consolidated from multiple threads. I think it's safe to say that Yucca Valley will be bringing on a Supercharger in the coming months! It's about 30 mins from this existing one in 29 Palms which is kinda far for most of the action that...

I find bits and pieces on this but nothing that really goes straight to it. So. . . We don't need to bring the car in to service it every year? I don't even know how to top off fluids, rotate the tires, or check the 12v battery. . . So I guess I do those activities as part of some other...

I tried to find anyone discussing this and couldn't seem to find it. I have a 2017 Model S. I brought her in for annual several weeks ago. I got a Model S as my loaner. The car was otherwise stripped from what I could tell. The loaner had this cool Caraoke function on the touchscreen that...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I wanted to see where we're at right now. . . There's a reason why new Superchargers no longer say "For Tesla Use Only" like we have seen in years passed. The new ones all now say "EV Charging Only" like in the below example (250 kW Ehrenberg, AZ)...

This is extremely strange. . . The only record I can find of this thing's existence is on my GPS. It's not on the Tesla Supercharger website, and it's not on supercharge.info. . . There's nobody talking about it anywhere that I can find. It's so strange! Anyone know anything about this...

Sincerest apologies! I know this thread/link already exists, but I can't find it anywhere. The supercharger use (kWh by site) is what I'm most interested in. I've seen the link before but I can't find it anywhere on the forum or anything. The link/list looks something like this:

Weather was nearly identical in both trips and the freeway sections of the routes were identical. Both trips immediately followed a full-range Supercharge (238 mi is what I get on my 2017 75). Yuma > San Diego > La Jolla Trip #1 Left the Yuma Supercharger and drove around town for the...

My heated seats run great for about 20 mins and then they fizzle out. I tried to see if anyone else has observed this exact problem and I couldn't seem to find it. . . I want my seat to run and run hard until I tell it not to. . . Instead, it heats for exactly 20 mins and then starts...

I would love to have a record of where I’ve charged (and how much) over the life of my Model S (for the Roadster, I’m assuming geo-capture isn’t possible). Obviously, my “home” charger (for me it’s at work) will have, by far, the most kWh charged and number of stops. But it would be cool to...

Has someone done a business case for this? If so, my apologies b/c I haven't been able to find it. . . My 60 charges to 207 at 100%. I know I'm leaving about 45 +/- miles on the table for those last 15 kWh that already sit under the floorboards (correct me if I'm wrong?). If I had 250 +/-...

I’m the second owner of a once daily-driver 2011 Roaster 2.5 with about 70K miles on it. The car recently came out of the body shop for some minor cosmetic surgery and is now in absolutely perfect condition. I also replaced the leather seats and all the interior carpeting. Mechanically all is...

My apologies if this has been discussed, but I did a search and didn’t see anything on it. . . About a 18 months ago, I was in a 2014 Model S P85+ loaner while the Roadster was getting its annual. On a road trip, I ran the battery down to -2% rolling up to a Supercharger. When I plugged it...

After owning the car less than a week, I had a near heart attack as I looked down on my app one morning and it said my trunk and rear right door were open! The car had been parked on the street overnight, so I’m freaking. I ran out to the car and all was well. What the heck? More recently...

I only need the actual charging cable for my newly acquired mobile charging set. All of the accessory items are brand new and the images below are of the actual items. They are all posted on eBay if you'd like to take that route also under the username JohnnyLounge21. You are welcome to...

I have a 2017 Model S 60. When I took delivery last week, the orientation included showing me the tow hook in the frunk and then he put it in the trunk so it wouldn't "slide around." It still slides around back there. . . My apologies if this has been asked before. . . But where are you...

Spare Mobile Connector 110V Roadster ($400) Charged with this mobile connector for several months in 2013 before setting up a high-speed long-term charging solution. Sat in clean/dry/protected storage for approximately 3 years hence. Tested last week and works great. Will ship for $50 after...

There are 3 main things that I wanted my Roadster to have (in order of less importance to more importance). Bright daytime running lights that make it look more aggressive day and night Much better sounding system in the cabin, a much better head unit and a much better integration with my...

I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this. . . However, the only information I'm finding on the subject is for the Model S. I'd like to do something fun with my brake calipers. After getting the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the rear of the car done @ Costco (Thanks Henry for all the...

I've been really proud of my little set up. I got a NEMA 14-50 receptacle installed @ work especially for my Roadster. I riveted the charger to the wall (it's in a public garage so I just wanted it secure). I figured I'd never need it to go anywhere. I've always left it plugged in. Today...

I'm relocating from Chicago to San Diego in exactly 2 weeks. I'm getting the smallest U-Haul and putting a flatbed trailer behind it and bringing #1190. I've never towed anything in my life. Any tips, tricks, warnings, thoughts and/or guidance? Thanks in advance!

Every car I've owned, I turn on the parking lights during the day b/c I think it looks nice on the vehicle. As the years have gone by, I began to see cars doing this automatically - at least with their front lights (the first I noticed was the Corvette maybe 10 years ago - front 2 orange...

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert the Roadster to power steering? Has anyone done this? It is even possible? Just more curious at this stage - it would be a cool option especially if you could turn it on and off. My GF couldn't pull out of parallel parking spot on her own and it...

First - what are these things called? I think the "door sills" are the part above the part I'm talking about below made of in Carbon Fiber (this is not a picture of my Roadster, BTW). Any recommendations on how I can get this (the stainless part) to look better? I spent a couple hours...

We know CHARGING in Range mode isn’t the best for the battery and shouldn't be done very often. What is the downside to using Range Mode to DRIVE as far as battery longevity? I recently needed to squeeze as much mileage out of the Roadster as possible to get to and from South Haven, MI and...

I recently took delivery of Roadster 1190 (2011 2.5) and it's beautiful. There's a couple things I'm going to need to do to get the car perfect (glass top is on the way, a better detailing, etc.). But for now, I'm very happy. The battery seems to have good capacity for a well driven car (25K)...
