    Adapter: Roadster HPC to Model S

    I've parsed this thread, and maybe I'm missing something, but did Tesla ever make this adapter? I have Model S owners at my house quite often, needing a charge. I don't see the point of retrofitting my charger for them, forcing me to use an adapter. How do I get my hands on an adapter...

    Figuring out PG&E and Rate Schedules

    Right now, I'm currently using E9. I'm really surprised they won't let me move my E9 to a new home... that there are no provisions for that.

    Figuring out PG&E and Rate Schedules

    I knew you guys would help me out. I'll try the spreadsheets and the other thread, thank you!

    Figuring out PG&E and Rate Schedules

    I'm a little at wit's end, so I figure I would reach out to all of you guys for some clarity. I moved back to California about a year ago, and I've been renting a house where I applied for and received the E9 rate from PG&E. I really can't gauge with absolute certainty if it was the right...

    New Firmware, 3.5.7.11

    I experimented with using this the other day... It's a really nice feature, to change range modes while driving.

    Roadster for tall drivers

    I'm 6'3" and have been driving the Roadster since October 2008. I really don't have any problems. I did remove the two useless visors from the front windshield. Parking up close to small intersections makes it difficult sometimes to see the traffic signals above my head, but other than...

    New Firmware, 3.5.7.11

    That is correct, the firmware does work on 2008s with the 1.5 powertrain. I have a Signature 100 (a fairly early one) as well, so if it was going to be weird on anyone's car, it would be mine... Though I've tested it, and it works fine.

    New Firmware, 3.5.7.11

    I've also learned that this firmware update has an interesting feature: If you press on the green battery indicator on the main screen while driving, you can alternate between "Max Range," "Performance" and standard mode (with no label). I've confirmed this change takes effect immediately...

    New Firmware, 3.5.7.11

    I thought I had seen it all. Next thing you'll tell me you have a photograph of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore.

    New Firmware, 3.5.7.11

    A new firmware revision was released Saturday, the release is 3.5.7.11. It was installed on my 1.5 roadster. Notable changes included a speed display on one of the VDS screens. I've included screenshots here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tesla26/sets/72157624044442054/ Quick...

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    #26 #26 is running beautifully, without anything bad to report, here in the Bay Area. It's been about fifteen months now and it still feels the same. I love this car.

    Experiences with my Sig 100 v1.5

    The regen is only noticeable at slower speeds, such as stop and go traffic between lights in city driving. These are times where you probably, normally, would be hitting the brake with an automatic transmission or downshifting with a manual. I find it actually a comforting way of driving. I...

    Experiences with my Sig 100 v1.5

    I figured... There were cables coming out of the dash in the passenger area floor, and a bit of a rattle. Still, both myself and a friend drove the VP-13 and were blown away by the experience, regardless. The fact that the production Sig100 w/1.5 improved upon it was just bonus...icing.

    Experiences with my Sig 100 v1.5

    Hmm. Well, I look in my rear view mirror, and I see the light turn on (you can see just the edge of the top brake indicator) when I remove my foot from the accelerator. When I'm back with my car next week, I'll go mobile with someone behind me and ask to confirm it.

    Experiences with my Sig 100 v1.5

    I was mistaken in calling them "regenerative braking." What I should have said that in "coast" mode, that is, when you take your foot off the accelerator but do not press the brake down, the car slows down faster than you might expect a car to do without brakes. During that time, the brake...

    Experiences with my Sig 100 v1.5

    I'll post pics soon...It's going to be about a week or so as I'm traveling. The nature of my work has me with the car only part of the time, as I'm out of the state quite a bit. I spent four days total with the car, driving around San Francisco. Unfortunately, I'm not a sports car expert, as...

    Production/Delivery Status

    Thanks, guys... I'll post my experiences on a new thread (so as to not clutter up the production status discussion). Suffice to say for this topic that #26 was delivered. They are finishing up the hard tops, which they wanted some improvements on, as well as the mobile charger (getting UL...

    Production/Delivery Status

    I received my 1.5 on Tuesday, Sig100#26. I'll post more later, as I've had only limited time with the car.
