My vin 157 was built December 15, 2008. Originally owned by Dr. Frasier Crane.

Lahtc, I know this is a long time ago but did the switchpack resolve your stalling issue? Ty, Eric

On the Android app, I select the battery page and then a second drop down has 12v history

Faults: 257 is APS output 1 (main) reset 265 is BSM: V_batt too low 285 is BSM: Isolation fault before closing contactors

I am troubleshooting a problem with my APS or BSM. Can someone with a 1.5 and OVMS post their 12V Battery History? Mine is attached and I'm wondering if it is normal for the 13.3v to drop to 11.9v? I am getting fault codes 285, 265 and 257.

I feel for you, this is a group no one wants to be part of, sucks. I recently talked to Pete Gruber and he said that 5 brand new Auxiliary Power Supplies (APS) also burned in the fire. My car was not involved, just wanted to mention that many were affected also by the loss of parts.

It has been long time since I checked here. APS is internal you the battery compartment, it is a DC to DC converter

I am interested in buying an auxiliary power supply APS for my 2008. If anyone has one available please let me know. I need a 1.5. Thanks, Eric

Thanks, I get it. I decided to look back at the time line of this project. August 27, 2019 I decided to do the job myself. I ordered a 2 post car lift for my garage. Found out my garage floor was not thick enough to support the anchors for the lift. I had to cut holes in my garage floor and...

I did not mean to imply simple. Simple is not the word I would use. If you work on cars and if you work on desktop PCs, then you have the skill set to do it. But it is dangerous due to the weight of car and battery pack and the voltages/amps involved.

How long were these battery cells originally designed to last? 12 years and only one bad cell out of 6831 in my pack seems like not that bad... Specially for the first model year

I am delinquent in reporting this, but I was successful in getting my car back on the road. I appreciate all the help from members of this forum. Using the log file I was able to find the bad brick number 60 in sheet 7. All other bricks were reading very close to the same voltage. The bad brick...

Which Android radio did you buy? And the steering wheel remotes, can you tell me more about those?

Hi, I have Vin 157 in Cocoa, FL Eric

What was the outcome on this problem? Was it low coolant? Thanks, Eric

How did this turn out? I am hearing noises from the back on mine.

How do I get a Google fi Sim card for ovms? The Google fi sign up page wants me to put it in phone. Do I put it in the phone to activate it, then move it to the ovms module? Thanks, Eric

Can someone who owns a TMT please post pictures of the ends where it connects to car? I am wondering how hard it would be to make one for my car. Also pictures of the seams? Thanks, Eric

Oh thank you. I will be buying ovms soon.

I thought this was diagnostic? What is this one?

I have another connector on passenger side foot well. Is this for another amplifier? I see blaupunkt above it. Mine is 2008. Eric

I don't have photo but it was exact match with same part number stamped on it. To bad, they must be sold out?

I don't believe in many things but I do believe in, ask and you shall receive. So I have a couple things I want for my car. I am looking for Taylor Mesh Top, original one. Also looking for a protective bag for my hard top. Thanks, Eric

Yes I was under there yesterday and I am bruised

Thanks for that HVAC service update info Drewski? If I contact SC would they send the parts to me? I am mostly interested in the clips, not sure where I would find those. But that will not solve my problem. I only get heart through the mid vents. I imagine that applies to ac also.

I could swear that I had heat on my feet fairly recently. I will feel passenger side tomorrow and see if I'm getting anything. It just seems when I spin that dial it doesn't change, it just comes out the mid vents, slight bit out defrost. Thanks for the service bulletin.

I am trying to heat my cabin. Hot air is blowing just fine. But unfortunately I can't get it to blow down to my feet it is blowing in my face. The air distribution control knob is stuck in AC mode. Any suggestions about troubleshooting this? Thanks, Eric

perfect, just what I wanted to know. I will try it. And thanks for the instructions... I did not want to remove the trunk if I could avoid it.

I am having the same problem. Charge port light ring is loose from body panel. Which epoxy should I use as I am in a small community with very little access to anyone who I trust to work on my car. Thanks, Eric

I broke my service disconnect plug. Tesla has them for sale at $163. I bought this one from EVwest and it is the exact match. It comes with the complete assemblyFor only $48 and that included shipping. Safety Disconnect from Electric Smart Car, EV West - Electric Vehicle Parts, Components, EVSE...

That pump looks so much more robust and simple than the original pump

It is not the easiest thing to remove but it is doable. Remove the drivers side wheel well and the air damn underneath for access.

2008 Tesla Roadster | eBay eBay sale of vp26

I found the cord holder, deal has been made. Thank you

I am interested in finding an original power cord hanger for the First Tesla HPWC pictured below. I copied this picture from a TMC thread. It is the only picture of it I have been able to find. I want it to go with my HPWC. I would like to buy the smoke detector as well. Thanks, Eric

I asked and this is the response: "We cannot confirm that at this time. No information available in full detail."

I received this today from Tesla service center: "Reaching out to you in regards to your roadster battery request. Unfortunately, Tesla is not producing Roadster batteries at this time. So there is no available option for new or refurbished purchasing at the moment. The only info available in...

Thanks I will talk to him about it after he finishes with my vacuum pump. I only got 101 miles (ideal) in range mode tonight. A couple of weeks ago I was getting that much in standard mode. Appreciate all of your input.

Oh and that was the ideal range in standard mode. When I charged it in range mode today the ideal value was 119 miles.

CAC is 149. I have been driving it everyday.

DeedWest, What screen should I take picture of on VDS? Right after charging? Or just the screen after I start the car?

Thank you for all the responses. I will post picture of VDS and download log file for CAC tonight. Gruber has my vacuum pump for repair right now... so I will be talking to him about the battery options soon.

My roadster only charged to 76 miles in standard mode today. It is time for a new battery. I am going to give the local Tesla a call soon. Does anyone have advice for me regarding my choices for refurbished battery? Or does such a thing as a new battery exist? Or should I call other companies...

Thanks for the response How do I contact Gruber? Sorry I am really new to this

I hope the rest of the car can handle some moisture as I live in Florida and it has been crazy rain here for days. It has poured 9 out of the last 16 days.

I just tried it again after drying and cleaning. But not working. I am not proficient at soldering at chip level. Any recommendations? I will call Tesla service tomorrow to see if they have a pump for sale... I'm new to Tesla do they even have parts department? Unfortunately I am 55 miles away...

When I look at plundy's circuit board pic mine seems to have a missing pin on one of the chips.

I am having this problem. I removed the pump found some water and indication the circuit board had gotten wet. I dryer and cleaned everything. Hooked it back up partially just to hear it run. Turned on car and no pumping. I checked and there is voltage, 13.4v. I thought maybe I just can't hear...
