    Cooling cycle non-stop?

    Greetings! Question at hand: 2018 signature series Tesla seems stuck in the coolant circulation mode. It sounds like when it's been parked and you pop the trunk (someone here likened it to a puppy perking up to go for a walk, an image I loved!) only... (a) it's not actually so warm in the home...

    Hello, World

    It's been a while. I figured I'd just update this thread. After a flurry of activity to get Roadster #48 home (calling her Tess, short for Tessellation,) and jump through the hoops to get a Tesla repair team willing to take a look, it turned out the PEM was fine. Whew! Battery sheets, not so...

    Help? Borrow converter for this weekend, SF Bay Area (Oct 19/20, 2019)?

    <grin> Oh yes. Thanks for the PlugShare link. I had already plotted out the route. Fortunately I opted for redundancy, because charging locations had (a) a padlock on a surrounding cage to keep chargers inactive on Sundays, (b) a charger that simply did not work. But the 3rd one worked fine, so...

    Help? Borrow converter for this weekend, SF Bay Area (Oct 19/20, 2019)?

    [ I'd happily pay the shipping to the seller's home address, with his permission, for a converter arriving by Saturday night. But that seems far-fetched and prone to trouble. ]

    Help? Borrow converter for this weekend, SF Bay Area (Oct 19/20, 2019)?

    I think anyone not-local won't be able to. Thanks, though!

    Hello, World

    Thanks for this. So -- I think Gruber's sells the CANs from hcsharp? My mental model is that ordering a CAN Jr from Gruber supports everyone? (If not, I'll order the CAN Sr from @hcsharp directly to share the love.) The OVMS module is utterly new information, and I will go check that out...

    Help? Borrow converter for this weekend, SF Bay Area (Oct 19/20, 2019)?

    I am throwing myself on your mercy after five other plans fell through. tl;dr -- if you are in the SF Bay Area and have a converter CAN or cable from Roadster to something modern (likely J1772,) I would be exceedingly grateful to borrow it for this coming weekend. Please PM. Longer version --...

    HELP - need service and Tesla App problem

    I just tried another round with Tesla insurance. I'll spare yinz the back-and-forth and cut to the punchline: ~30 minutes in, I was given a number for tech support. That number is not in service.

    HELP - need service and Tesla App problem

    I managed to get someone from Tesla insurance on the phone who claimed they do and gave me a rough estimate, but said he was in the wrong department to help beyond that. He then transferred me to someone even less able to help, which dead-ended in "use the app." I did not yet understand that the...

    HELP - need service and Tesla App problem

    For what it's worth, my email messages (via the alleged chat interface) have been /dev/null'ed so far. It's only two days, but: nothing. Generally true beyond Tesla: Any company that cannot figure out how to take their customers' money is in trouble.

    Hello, World

    Perfect, this is just the sort of thing I was looking to understand. Anyone in particular to ask for? Or a direct phone number? Thank you!!!

    Hello, World

    Wow! Thank you @im4uttx The rainbow sorted shots are particularly amazing. Beautiful. I look forward to adding one more to the mix.

    HELP - need service and Tesla App problem

    Wow. Timely thread for me (nothing to suggest for the original poster, sorry; we have shared but different pain.) I'm trying to see about the Tesla insurance available in CA. Every path, including calling, keeps pointing me to the app, which will not work because I do not have proof of...

    Hello, World

    Thank you both! This looks like a great community. 8 roadsters in one meetup had to have epic photos. :-)

    Hello, World

    Last night I left a deposit on a signature Roadster. I'm going to keep full details private for the moment, but the Bay Area will have one come home next weekend. What should I know about dealerships? I assume I want to start with a visit to Palo Alto for service (rather than Sunnyvale, which...
