DeedWest thank you so much for that information. Very helpful!

Reviving this old thread. Anybody able to tell me what options my car? VIN 0545 I’m one who lost my car in the Gruber fire recently so I’m trying to put a list of options together for the insurance settlement. Thanks.

I lost my roadster, 545, in this recent tragedy.

My car was one of the roadsters lost in this fire as well. I’m at a loss for words right now. RIP number 545.

AZ owner here. so far no issue with my 3 and the sun here. I originally thought to get the clip in shade screen but now i’m not sure it’s needed and just will wait and see how it goes through the summer months.

Can also use the Tesla app on your phone. Under the charging menu:

“bug report” “play <song/artist/genre>” “call <name>”

Bumping up this old thread. I would also like to buy one of these adaptors if someone still has one available. Thanks.

I know right! Crazy odds on that.

Very sorry to hear about this loss. Looks like a truly beautiful roadster. Is the car cover in good shape? Would you take $250 for it? If so, sold.

VIN assigned 54xx Configured my car on 1/17/18.

Here's an old thread on the topic. I must be one of the lucky ones where my soft top and hard top seem to fit without needing adjustment to go back and forth so I personally don't have experience on this. window adjustment

Hey brother. That's great to hear that 501 has been taken care of. The local SC has always been good to me as well.

I had my PEM replaced, luckily under warranty, and I too now have the "Sport" badge. Unfortunately, no free speed upgrade....I never had it changed back.

Upgraded to the Carbotech 1521s today. Was a pretty easy job. Only thing difficult for me was I had a frozen lugnut which would not budge. I even used a breaker bar on my ratchet and that only broke the ratcheting mechanism on my good old made in USA Craftsman 3/8" drive ratchet. Sears gave me...

For what it's worth it took Tesla 2+ years to update their owner record with my roadster which I bought certified pre-owned directly through them! I know this may be unusually long but they did service my car all along. I just had to explain every time that I was indeed the true new owner. As...

Congrats! 545 lives here in Phoenix, AZ with me. Ours were probably built within days of each other

Would love to have it if still available. Thanks Bonnie.

I'm glad you got this issue sorted out. I had the exact same thing happen to me last year after annual service. Essentially same services done as you and about 1 week later I was driving the car and gave me the overheating message and stalled me in the middle of the road. I had it towed to...

My CPO 2010 roadster warranty just expired and I purchased the extended warranty for 3 yrs ($5K) a few months ago. I find it very interesting that now they won't sell you an extension. My roadster is my daily driver and I'm getting close to about 50K miles on it. I did purchase the extension...

wow. I thought I got a heck of a deal with a new PEM under warranty. whole new (refurb) battery? have you noted any change in CAC or miles on a charge?

As others have said, higher cost than I was hoping for but likely what I expected it to be. What is very disappointing though is that the email mentions nothing about the body style and other aerodynamic changes that were originally mentioned as being part of the upgrade.

Thx mark, PM sent

Tom, thanks so much for these instructions. I just switched over from AT&T to H2O as well and most everything seems to be working well. Only thing, I cannot figure out....text messages sent to the OVMS device don't seem to be forwarding to my phone by SMS or IP (via the app) even though the...

stunning! makes me proud to be a member of this community....

I hear you man. It's a rough time of year for us. I think it got up to 115 ambient high today. Gets crazy hot inside my garage with the charging on going

They told me the same thing as well. I find it interesting that I just had my annual service and a week later this happened to me... At any rate, guess I'll be learning to clean my own PEM fan. They had mentioned to me at the SC that another owners car was in with issue similar to...

Finally reunited with my roadster! The model S was nice but I missed the feel of my roadster. They replaced the PEM and the wiring harness (not sure which one, wasn't told specifics). A quick look in the trunk certainly confirms a new PEM. It now says "Roadster Sport" on it and mine is not a...

I figure it has to be somehow related to what they did recently. They got the new PEM earlier this week and just got the harness a couple days ago. They are still working on everything. I'll ask which harness when I get the car back. hey shrink, I've been driving much more than you and I only...

Thanks guys. So I heard from Tesla today, apparently one of the harness connectors to the PEM shorted. They are not sure how or why, interesting that it was just serviced last week and apparently looked fine at that time. They are now going to replace the harness as well as give me a new PEM...

I had the fan upgrade done last year at my annual service. I'm thinking they will end up replacing it....let's see, hoping to hear something from tesla today.

So yesterday I found out that you actually have to register your car with Tesla 24/7 support even if you purchased your car directly from Tesla; as I had done with my CPO Roadster 545. No one at the time of purchase informed me that I had to do this until I found out this past weekend when I...

Was out and about driving around Saturday morning and received error message 1144 Powertrain Problem Service Required. Now I just had my car in for the annual service last week and it was giving me this message at that time also so I thought no big deal, will take it back in this week...

My .02: I've had my HPC (Roadster HPWC) for about 2 years now. Mine is capable of the full 70 amps but I never use it above 40. I have used it everyday for the last 2 years as my car is a daily driver and I have not had any issues with it.

Looks like tirerack has the fronts AD07 on closeout pricing for $100 a tire! Cheapest I've seen. Search by size 175-55-16 and you will see 2 listings for the yoko ad07. I believe they are the exact same tire, the OEM Lotus one is at 108 a tire and the other listing shows at 100 each.

For what it's worth, I was promised a UMC when I purchased my CPO Roadster last year but they ran out, instead they offered to send me an HPC and of course I took them up on the offer. I can only imagine they did a similar thing for others? Oh, and I would love to be on your list as well.

I also have not received any title paperwork and it's been about 2.5 weeks for me as well. I did go to the AZ MVD and get a temporary 90 day registration. I still got pulled over this am by the highway patrol because he "couldn't see" my registration. I got lucky though and was let go with just...

Thanks for your help guys. I'll go ahead and the get the HPC and set it up this way then. How do you guys connect the 14-50 to the HPC? I plan to get a 14-50 extension cord rated for 50 amps and cut off the cable and hard wire it to the HPC. However the NEMA 14-50 has 4 wires and the HPC...

Just took delivery of my roadster and looking forward to having it be my daily driver. The UMCs are not available at the moment and may be a couple months I'm told. I already had a 14-50 outlet installed by my electrician on a 50 amp breaker. I can get an HPC sooner than waiting on the UMC and...

Another update from Phoenix as well, shrink I'll see you on the road in your beautiful orange 501 - congrats! After the long wait I am proud to have taken delivery of Roadster 545 today. First impressions, I'm blown away - the detailing job on it is amazing. Couple gripes I do have are I didn't...

Another 2 cents here. I'm going thru the same process now as well and have been promised a Friday 8/9 delivery. I'm in Phoenix along with shrink and I understand both of our cars are being reconditioned here locally. Ryan helped me at the very beginning as he was the first person to call me...

New member here. Just got interested in Tesla about 2 months ago when a business partner of mine bought a Model S. I was immediately taken to it and now I'm in the process of buying a CPO roadster. Just got the docusign paperwork tonight and noticed no charges for...
