Hi all you experts...novice here. Just had OVMS module installed, configured, and set up my online password etc. It was working fine, could see car, on the phone ap, can see on open vehicles.com, and can see OVMS module and talk to it from phone (eg the url 192.....). Then suddenly it stopped. I...

I added my experience to the existing thread at Backup Camera Install :: Any help/pointers?

HI I had alluded to my experience on another post, but never provided details, and there was a suggestion to add to a camera thread so here goes. Not being as brave electrically as some on this site I went for the wireless solution. I found a completely wireless, solar powered back up camera...

I would have taken someone for a ride....signed up for it actually. THe organizers just wanted "current cars"....like the roadster I am driving isn't current. Yeah right. I totally agree taking someone for a ride stimulates interest, which all of us fan's of EVs benefit from ...(not to mention...

Well that was disappointing. Was excited about attending the event, registered. Was excited to be one of 2 Tesla Roadsters at the local event. Drove over. Went to sign in and Ariene the organizer for the event (which is a oxymoron evidently) said (even though the event was advertising the...

WHen I first bought the car I (naively) thought I should take it in to be "Checked out" by Tesla and firmware updated etc. ONly managed to get someone live by calling in on SALES LINE then someone answered. Long story short and why its not my first choice to go back to the service center in...

Thanks !

HI newbie follow-on question, I only had the front fans turn on once so far (and didn't notice how long) but how long should the back fan run? there are 2 noises, the little yellow fluid circulating that turns on when ever anything turns on in the car (from doors opening to starting to...

And we are close to wine country ;):cool:

Hope you or someone opens a northern CA shop soon....lots of tesla's up here but service well, seemingly a challenge even with 3 options......

I have the roadster on the online account at tesla after ownership change, downloaded ap but it doesn't appear there, so to the ap the roadster doesn't exist. I am curious also if anyone in this forum has (as also asked earlier in this thread) been able to get their roadster to show up in the...

oh, yeah I also agree with your comment re variance which I take to mean "driving habits"....I could feign being affronted by the "variance" comment...was someone implying I have a lead foot perhaps? little ol' me???? (sorry I-280 is just made for passing by cars with a little lead in the foot...

Oh Thank you....the ID 420 error disappeared and hasn't recurred yet (so with my newbie threshold exceeded will hold off on taking out anything....until it reappears anyway!...along those lines for that potentiality... ahh....hope you don't mind another newbie question..what is/where is//.the...

Hi helpful folks out there in the community...have been enjoying my little blue baby... did a couple of long trips and maybe after range charging seemed to have a bit longer range for a bit, then it seems to have drifted down but still reasonable. Loving driving this car. BUT THEN day before...

My Tesla raodster shows up (after the registration change) about 2 months after application on the online (web) Tesla account page but the phone ap so far at least is a no go...Roadster models don't event appear to be able to pulled down. But there are different apps depending on phone or...

is this the right michelin pilot sport size..has different lettters after it than earlier in this thread

Just circling back on the new tire recommendations and also re TPMS...I know there are other threads on this forum but this one is more recent...and hopefully someone can comment. I get the TPMS error message when engage to drive, but when in Park, I can still see my tire pressures and temp...

I keep hearing great things about the OVMS, but it is a little intimidating. Once I get the bits from fastech, and reread everything from open vehicles site, I probably would still want someone who has done it before to hold my hand....but I have to echo the comments above the folks in this...

Took several emails, and the local "service center" also supposedly tried. Took almost 2 months. And still not showing up in Tesla Ap so still dependent on email/calling service center (or driving to one ....really the only way to get in the queue it seems.) Even for something "simple" like a...

If at all possible a little more warning for such events, for those of us who don't have a chance to check the blog daily...would love to have come...hope we have more in future! Just came back from a brief trip to Pennsylvania, sadly didn't see any Teslas anywhere as we were driving around...

Ya all welcome to drive up the coast road and visit a sister electric blue here in Half Moon Bay! ( or will ping back when driving down if my kid decides to tour UC Santa Barbara (yikes college tours in full swing this summer!)

I do want to share a success story re visibility improvements....not wanting to dive into running any electrical wires I got a completely wireless review camera. Completely. There are 2 on the market that I have found, this one seemed more water proof (based on comments) and solar...

it wasn't the instructions...it was the shape/size/design of the mirror...there was a huge gap.....i think I am just going to get one of those corner stick ons, They seem to do the job and are a heck of alot cheaper.

Okay I need some tips, I got mine, and there is like a 2mm gap in the middle when the edges are in contact..... Even with light touch to trip to push in to get it to sit, it broke.

so what is the consensus/final word? Michelin Pilot Super Sport on the rear . 225/45 ZR 17? Yokohama Advan A052’s ? AD07s AD08s? are the Toyo Proxes T1R only for 2.5's? and other pearl....Only Jack with pads, no lift, and put fear of god/Elon over the head of tire folks just for safety :)...

as a newbie I have found the battery maintenance and optimization discussions both interesting and confusing, though the charts on the Roadster Owner Based Study of Battery Pack Capacity Over Time are great and interesting, there isn't a newbie level summary like: cool down the battery after a...

I agree with Story as a newbie, sometimes its a bit hard to figure out where to find all the answers....but the search tool is great, and folks in the forum, even long standing users (who for the goodness of their hearts are still hanging to the forum and mentoring...it says an awful lot about...

yep back in stock thanks!

Alas looks like they are OOS.... will keep eye out for them....

Thanks for vote of encouragement for driving Henry! Okay, I am making progress as new owner (and not just sitting and looking at my beautiful new baby), have been out for first major road trip down to the big redwoods at ROaring Camp (okay so I parked around the corner in the paved church lot...

Thanks all...got it....now I just have to go back to the service center and point out to them that the item they charged me for 50 bucks for firmware upgrade didn't happen. SIGH

Looks like another 2008 (well 2009) roadster (#253) has been listed on ebay 2008 Tesla Roadster | eBay

Timothy, I agree with Greg the mountain looks real good with your baby blue in front.....my only question is....will I get the courage to drive on a gravel road some day in it like you did ? Gasp. Dust! (Full disclaimer...my hubby and I just took our new baby for her first night drive, down...

Well, there may be rarity with yellow...but you will have to push hard to move me away from opinion that blue (baby) is best! ;)

Not sure if anyone has had any experience (I will post mine after I get it) but I was not wanting to dive into wiring just yet but still wanted a rear view camera/back up camera solutions (that didnt require wiring). I found 2 options, 2 different companies, both are listed like on ebay or...

I everyone, its the mom of beautiful blue baby (see thread Orphan adopted ...so glad I have all of you now as family). I have diligently searched for what the latest 1.5 firmware (sans battery 3.0 upgrade) is....and hope someone can confirm. I was able to download my vehicle logs using the...

That is cool. A contrast to the feed this morning on the wrecked roadster registry ....nightmare! Re Roadster colors.... I came across something related somewhere but can't find now...can someone repoint me to where the paint for the lotus Elise is lined up to that of the Roadster? Or...

Oh, also learned on this forum about covers, and mice eating wires (have experienced that with my prior cars so as has always lived near fields/open spaces) so will be doing the peppermint oil prophylaxis....

Thank you all for the welcome, responding en mass: 1) totally agree with new owner "crib sheet " need....I was about to reply to another post that was 3 years old, and someone else had a year ago, and I learned that late reply's are flagged as potential spam (which of course makes sense) but I...

Isn't she gorgeous! (Don't look at weeds in my herb garden, been neglected a bit) :);)

Hi Tesla Roadster Family, I am the proud mother of newly adopted #412, my blue baby. I have been watching Tesla roadsters forever, having been an early adopted of the hybrid ice in 2004 prius to save the world for my newborn kid. Had to shed my first life 1990 Supra Sport convertible to be all...
