    Repair Options: Bricked Roadster v1.5

    I've got a roadster who's battery won't accept a charge. Tesla service advises replacing the battery but doesn't know when one will be available. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on repair options, but I'm not hopeful. Will probably end up selling it as-is. Located in Maryland, but willing...

    Getting the Sirius/XM radio code from a JVC unit

    The Sirius direction worked for me today, soon will have more music choices and get to see if the Sat radio reception is good or not! Thanks Supersnoop.

    Getting the Sirius/XM radio code from a JVC unit

    Thank Paul, I think I know how to get to the setup, it never occurred to me to select "Tuner" :) I have this PDF manual, thank for posting it. There's so much info in it and I find it rather a challenge to get what I need from it :) Tim

    Getting the Sirius/XM radio code from a JVC unit

    Apologies for not finding the answer in thread searching... I'm wanting to activate my Satellite radio in the JVC unit in my 1.5 Roadster. I have the manual and when I attempt to get the code on the display it doesn't seem to work. I thought I did this when I first bought it 5 years ago. Has...

    Apartment Living and Parking/Charging your Tesla

    Well the dialog here makes me feel better about the idea of bringing my car to an apartment that has no way of charging:). I've got several parking garages nearby so I can get up early on a Sat and drive there park and charge for a few hours on a J connector(20A, maybe 30A). Do some shipping...

    Apartment Living and Parking/Charging your Tesla

    I've had the incredible fortune of a new job and a move, to Cambridge, MA. My trendy downtown apartment complex has no EV charging slots..what?...this is 2015 people!!:) So my roadster is 500 miles away in my garage in my previous home, which I'll be selling soon...the home, and HOPEFULLY not...

    Getting a Roadster from Maryland to California

    OK somehow this is making me feel better about the idea:)…At least there is a route someone used and I can check out backups to these charging stations.

    Getting a Roadster from Maryland to California

    Recently found out I will be moving to CA for my job from MD, and I'd like to have my roadster out in LA but doubt I could drive it across the USA:). I'm asking Tesla who they used to ship it from CA to MD….but I also wondered if anyone had driven or towed a roadster long distances on the...

    Roadster Price Trend

    Great! Thanks, wonder what they will go back to? Also I think the CPO Roadsters lately were 2.0 and 2.5 which will still be work more than my 1.5 I'm guessing..not that I really care as long as I'm driving it:)

    Roadster Price Trend

    What sites are you looking at for the price trend? I could only guess ebay and tesla of course but is there a better way to view what roadsters are for sale out there?

    CPO Roadster process

    Not yet since the techs had an electronic part act up late last week and they are waiting for delivery of the new part...which is fine with me! They were great about calling me so I didn't drive out there! Ryan also called me and txtd me to make sure I knew what was happening. I'm talking to...

    Considering upgrade to adjustable suspension - need your input

    Yes I did see your preference posted here and thought about asking for those settings when I pick up the car. I've driven a 1.5 with standard suspension and I definitely felt the road and the steering was slightly tough..of course not having power steering is like that. I feel comfortable...

    Considering upgrade to adjustable suspension - need your input

    OK, since they still have the roadster and haven't delivered they'll need to do initial suspension settings. Do you have a recommendation for a set of initial suspension settings for a new roadster owner? Thx!

    Considering upgrade to adjustable suspension - need your input

    Thanks Doug, I saw your setting posted earlier in this thread. Would you recommend I ask the service center to set my suspension with these settings?

    Considering upgrade to adjustable suspension - need your input

    OK sorry for the really dumb question: how does the "driver" adjust the suspension to their preference? The write up on the website makes it sounds like a knob in the car:), but reading this thread it sounds like it's a bit of an operation. I'm getting my CPO roadster 29 with this upgrade and...

    Roadster's Future

    I like these kinds of threads..it's like a next gen iphone discussion on steroids:) It all sounds awesome because I already thought the roadster had really good range and a charging timeline that could support a 2-day road trip of 600 miles with an overnight stay and a couple of plug-in stops...

    Roadster's Future

    Of course everything has it's analyst price point...they may offer different options for different prices..it seems very TESLA to give a very afforable upgrade but for $k more add the option for supercharging...just my observation which I resonate with BTW:)

    Opinions: Jet Black with or w/o CF exterior accents

    Wow!! I'm getting more excited about the possibility of owning one:) The one I'm looking at has the microfiber interior which I hope looks almost as nice as the leather you have. I can see I will have to find a good detailer in my area because I KNOW I won't do it:) I agree with you now...

    Opinions: Jet Black with or w/o CF exterior accents

    Thanks Adiggs, I suspected as much. If I did any anything I would have just done front grill and air intakes...just some touches of CF. But I hear you that it may just get lost in the blackness:)...no sense spending $5k and get nothing from it. BTW, how are you enjoying the Jet Black? What...

    Opinions: Jet Black with or w/o CF exterior accents

    I'm close to buying a jet black roadster and am thinking about the CF exterior package...it seems the CF would be powerfully accented by the jet black finish...but what are your thoughts Tesla Family?:) also has anyone seen the jet black with CF accents to share their views on the "value" of...
