Hi guys - haven't been active in a while but need some help from the genius that is this forum. I have a 2008 1.5 that previously was charging to 183+ miles. Have not driven in a couple months but keep it on 110v. Never any problems with it. Got it down from the lift and it only had 56...

OK - Friday 30 mins before was supposed to be somewhere I thought I would just pop on my new Visium. So excited - what could go wrong?! 30 mins later (drenched in sweat on a hotter than hades day) I had it set up - mostly after working each corner and trying not to strip anything and playing...

I purchased my roadster 1.5 back in January and am loving it. I have put many mods including preventative PEM work. I usually only charge 110V 15A unless I need a cooling cycle 240V 16A. Usually Ideal range in the low 180's The last 2 times I have changed my ideal range was in the 160's and...

OK - couple other reviews I have been meaning to post. First off - I love top down driving but when I get to work I don't want to put the soft top on days it might rain. I started thinking about putting my full cover on/off but that seemed like a bigger pain then the soft top. I found this...

Just amazed at the engineering that went into these cars. I have a 08 1.5 that regularly charges to 188 - 185 standard charge miles. I think this is the best-preserved roadster battery left. The original owner never used 240v higher amps and never range charged it. Lived in Seattle...

In the months of research before and after I bought the roadster I read 3+ years of this forum. In all that time I saw references to how different the Roadster was to an Elise/Exige (but didn't really fully believe or appreciate it). I was sent this blog post from 2008 on Tesla.com that really...

https://electrek.co/2020/03/25/elon-musk-secure-tesla-first-store-roadsster-patents/ Looks like Gruber motors contributed to the story and it's a fascinating look at some of the early ways they had to negotiate to move the company forward

Recently took possession of #314 and the car was willed to the seller who doesn't know what the PIN was set at. How does one reset the PIN? Is there a default (I tried 1-2-3-4)? Can you do it in the Service Menu (I know how to go into that setting but didn't see anything)? OR Can only Tesla...

After over a month of upgrades from Carl (more on that to follow), weeks of transport, and months before that of shopping I finally had my 2008 #314 1.5 Roadster delivered a couple weeks ago behind Sam's Club So while at Sams might as well stock up! Went home first and popped the top and...

Well - I have been semi-active here so some of you have heard from me but wanted to share my journey to Roadster ownership that finally culminated with me be the proud owner of 314 in Twilight Blue with now 10,000 miles (more on that later). If you want the short story I flew 2500 miles in the...
