    Selling Dream car Roadster #786, need advice: Buy used Model S or 3?

    Thank you for your help on this. I am definitely leaning toward the S right now, but not 100%. It''s really helpful to get owner's feedback! My car is going for $60k. Is there a way to have people interested message me off-list? I didn't see that option on the forum, but if there is I can...

    Selling Dream car Roadster #786, need advice: Buy used Model S or 3?

    Sadly, I am going to sell my new (to me) Roadster. I bought it 7 month ago as a daily driver, about the same time as buying a condo in Washington DC. After driving in this traffic and terrible roads, I realized that the car will be terribly abused in no time and this beauty does not deserve...

    Need recommendation for home charger

    Thank you - very helpful. I will check the parts for sale thread. If anyone sees this and wants to throw out some other "for sale" items, such as the CAN SR, I have just found out that I definitely need to buy one of these.

    Need recommendation for home charger

    Thank you for your response! Yes, with electric cars (sometimes) it really sucks when you are empty and need to get somewhere right away. That Clipper Creek is looking mighty good right now. BTW - on a different topic. I know this will ruffle a lot of feathers on other Tesla or EV forums...

    Need recommendation for home charger

    That is very helpful thank you! Great info (so much it makes me think I may have to rethink this). I currently have one of those chargers from 10 years ago that Nissan recommended for Leaf owners, my car of the last 9 years. And with my J1772 adapter it works fine still. But, I figured if I...

    Need recommendation for home charger

    The charger will be wired to my condo circuit box which will be able to handle another 56 amps. According to my installer, I will need a 50 amp charger to get to the desired 40 amps charging. I have not been able to find a 50 amp charger. Not sure why I’m supposed to get a 6-50 plug. But I...

    Need recommendation for home charger

    I guess those are door sills. They are wide and have to step over getting in out. Vinyl covering and scuffed up (mine are tan)...prefer not to use a harsh chemical cleaner.

    Need recommendation for home charger

    Hey folks - just received my new (used) Roadster and I need to buy a home charger. I would like to get something that charges the quickest. It can be hardwired or plug in (NEMA 6-50). Also wondering what is the best cleaning solution for the interior floor trim that constantly gets scuffed up...

    Need feedback on Roadster for daily driver

    Excellent - very helpful information. One more question - I know Teslas can use non-tesla chargers; are Roadsters able to do that? And can they plug into the high speed Tesla charges that have gone up all over the US?

    Need feedback on Roadster for daily driver

    Thank you - I was hoping to find a 2010 in my price range. 200 miles would be 3 times what I'm getting from my 2014 Leaf ; )

    Need feedback on Roadster for daily driver

    Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. 8.5 years driving a 2012 and 2014 Nissan Leaf and I was never in the shop.....EV's are so incredibly reliable. So happy you had the same experience with the Roadster. It was really the first on scene and still one of the best!

    Hello Roadster owners and fans. I am ready to purchase either the roadster (1st choice) or a used Model S. I am looking for advice from the people that drive these awesome vehicles. My biggest concern: is the roadster going to be reliable for a daily driver? I am coming from a Leaf so range...
