    Extra long J1772 to Roadster adapter with security strap extra long J1772 to Roadster adapter with security strap. This adapter is almost 5 1/2 feet long. The additional length allows it to be secured to the wheel when charging. The extra length can come in handy when another car is...

    53kwh consumed in one charge

    Yes, it is. No. It is not caused by a hot battery :smile: I've seen this before on the roadsterVDS via the tattler charge reports. What I believe is happening is that the 88kWh and 15h:11m comes from two concatenated charges but with a drive in between. So the total energy used to...

    How much does Performance mode affect battery life/range?

    Do you have a 1.5 or 2.x? As far as max torque goes, on a 1.5 the max torque (281) is the same standard vs performance. 2.x it is 265 standard vs 273 performance (295 sport)

    Tesla Tattler Available

    I've added you and Bonnie to the mailing list. Look for a google invite to the tattler group. I also sent version 118 directly to your email I didn't get premium audio and was surprised to find homelink wasn't included... Send the command "MONITOR DONE". It will only send you a message...

    Tesla Tattler Available

    Super easy. Coded it up and tested it while watching a movie... I've sent version 118 with this feature to the tattler group email. I don't have homelink in my 2.5 so I only tested it with my sim. The sim is pretty good so it should work. But save a copy of 117 just in case. The command is...

    Do you know that you must keep your battery charged?

    Only the 2.x roadsters have a data link. [shamless plug] Maybe all 1.5 roadster owners should buy a tattler to notify them of the low battery condition. :smile: [/shamless plug]

    Main differences between 2008 and 2010/2011 versions?

    I've owned a 1.5 (34K miles), spent a good amount of time when I was developing the tattler in a 2.0 sport and now I have a 2.5 sport(10k miles) 1.5 More fun to drive than the 2.x non-sport. The 1.5 seems to give full torque in both standard and performance modes. IMHO, the 1.5 seems...

    Latest double-din navigating car stereos for Roadster 2.5 Sport?

    I believe it is. Both times I took my car in for annual service (12K, 24K) they adjusted the top to fit more snuggly.

    Model X Premiere - who's going?

    Yes. :smile: I had 185V@30A charging at Qualcomm, but it would take about two work days (minus lunch drive) to charge from empty to full. At Tesla it's 205V @70A so I can easily get a full charge plugging in after lunch. It's also colder up here so I don't use the tattler's cooldown feature much.

    Model X Premiere - who's going?

    I'll be there :smile: sans roadster :frown: My GF is out of town so I shared my invite with another roadster owner. Richard 595 (aka the other tattler guy) will be there too.

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    Yes. :smile: I gave them one back in July and asked them a couple of question w.r.t the Tattler. A few months later I got a nice reply answering my questions that closed with: "On another note, I'd love to talk to you about ways you can help [Telsa] more directly if you're interested..."

    Extra wire on MC240 GFCI

    Yes. I do. :smile: There's nothing in the spec sheet because I believe this GFI was a custom version for Tesla. I believe that they separated out one of the power leads to the GFI control circuitry. This way they could turn the GFI on/off. My first mc240 went bad a few months after I...

    Roadster Rally in LA 6/6/09

    I did! under my old vin #376. I would have gladly sold it to you Ian. But it expires 12/31/11 so I only had 3 months to use it. So I'm taking my GF to Vegas next weekend. Sorry.

    Extra wire on MC240 GFCI

    IIRC. The extra red wire is a 240v control for the contactor inside the gfi. The pilot board uses this signal to turn on/off the 240v to the car.

    Tesla Tattler Available

    No. The tattler is not an app. It will work with any Android based phone. It should work with any SMS text capable phone.

    Tesla Tattler Available

    Probably December. I want to build up a decent user support base before I ship outside of the US. I'm only one person and I have a fun but busy day job, so the Tattler has to be self supported by the users. With Tom and Doug_G on board as beta testers, this shouldn't be a problem.

    Tesla Tattler Available

    Cooldown doesn't heat the battery. I'll add a HEAT command to the new features list.

    Yes. If you send me your SIM, I will install it and confirm it works with the tattler.

    Tesla Tattler Available

    I'm happy to announce, I'm taking orders now for the next batch of tattlers. I expect to ship the first 10-20 this month and the remainder in November. USA and Canada only for now. The Tattler is not an iPhone or Android app. It's hardware, a small Linux box with a cellular modem. It is...

    Charging at Campgrounds and RV Parks

    Actually the tattler would have been a little more helpful, as it can adjust the current limit in increments of one Amp. So if the breaker trips at 40A, set it to 38A and try again.

    Connect a 10-30R plug to a L14-30R

    Got it. So W of the 10-30 goes to G & W of the 14-30. X=X and Y=Y
  40. scott451

    Connect a 10-30R plug to a L14-30R

    I don't have the pinouts in front of me, but the jist of it is to connect the neutral and ground together on the 14-30 and connect those two to the ground pin of the 10-30. I'm assuming the 10-30 is 230v

    WARNING: Do not plug an AC inverter into your 12VDC socket!

    I believe that a number of owners have had switch pack problems. I believe it is one of the top failures. My 1.5 had the classic failures of bad PEM fan and bad switch pack within the first 4 months of ownership. After that, it was problem free... Did you tell Tesla you were using an...

    WARNING: Do not plug an AC inverter into your 12VDC socket!

    No. You are entitled to the defective parts if it is an "out-of-warranty" repair. This may give Zach some leverage.
  44. scott451

    WARNING: Do not plug an AC inverter into your 12VDC socket!

    If they don't, make sure they give you the defective switchpack. You're entitled, by law, to the "defective" parts.
  45. scott451

    WARNING: Do not plug an AC inverter into your 12VDC socket!

    Sounds like the battery is fully charges and/or the battery is above 30C

    New cell phone app: Tesla Tattler --- works on all cell phones

    The tattler currently uses a GSM/GPRS/UMTS modem. So the carriers are ATT and T-Mobile. I chose T-mobile because they have a $15/mo unlimited SMS text message pay-as-you-go plan. So for $15 a month I can get unlimited messages for the tattler. AFAIK there is no better deal. I have at least...

    How to design my garage?

    While you are installing the electrical drops, be sure to install a CAT-5e or better network drop too. A lot of the home chargers (e.g. blink) are network capable. Yes, they can usually do wifi, but it's more reliable to go with a wired network for fixed installs.

    UMC Wiring

    Martin's RFMC design used a diode and a 90C thermal switch. My guess is that the UMC works the same way. The other possiblity is that is uses a dallas one-wire eeprom on the unused neutral pin of the california connector.
