I am in New York and have a 1.5 that is garaged and rarely driven. My charging objective is to do what is best to extend the life of its battery and the PEM. I presently have the early mobile connector (yellow cable with GFCI like plug) and the earlier (not the Clipper Creek) HPWC for the...

Does anyone have any educational materials about the Tesla Roadster or EV in general suitable for Pre-K? My daughter's pre-school will have my Roadster on display on its grounds the day before a silent auction where I'll be giving a couple a two hour ride (I'll be driving - so one at a time)...

I am hoping to get a couple spares (I have a few friends/relatives that have Roadsters too). Pretty much just want as spares, so hoping to not pay too much.. It be for use in the US, but if the mobile connector is for a 230 market, I might be interested too.

I did some searching on TMC, and I could not find a post that mentioned this, so I thought its worthy of posting. After having some service on a 1.5 , I asked about having a state inspection. I was told that the Tesla service centers in New York don't offer this, as they would need to make the...

I want to get winter tires, and thought it be easier to put them on its own set of wheels. Tesla does sell a package for for the standard pinwheel (nee aero) wheels with winter tires, but I figured someone might have gotten the standard 18" wheels and upgraded, and offer me a better deal. I am...

Why am I offering this? Last week I was invited to configure my Model 3 for delivery in New York (where I live). After submitting an order that night (January 4th), we were given a delivery estimate of 4 weeks. Since configuring (LR, with AP, and PUP) that night, my wife and I have been...

Are the sideview mirrors on the Roadster (specifically a 1.5) the same as a Lotus Elise of the same vintage? Want to bring a Roadster inside a building that's doorway is just a couple of inches too narrow, and I was thinking of having the local Lotus dealer remove the mirrors and reinstall them...

I plan to go to "Auto Shanghai 2017" and I was wondering if any else on TMC is planning on going. If you are, please post here or send me a PM, it be nice to meet up. I'll be coming from Beijing, and will be with a friend that is a native Chinese speaker. Her interest is also in EV, but for...

I plan on going to the Auto Shanghai (show alternates annually with Beijing). I am interested in checking out Chinese and imported EV cars, as well as OEM suppliers to EV makers at the show, and I'd like to know what TMC would think what is worth checking out. I don't have a nice list of the...

Inspired by the recent EM tweet that early Model 3 reservationist had a "Pretty good" chance to get an AWD by December 31, 2017 got me thinking. Every quarter, especially the last quarter of the year (December 31), Tesla pulls out all the stops to deliver as many cars as they can. Part of the...

Lets try to get this over the 100K mark ASAP, or at least close enough that it hits the news cycles prior to election day to give pause to any other "back room politics" elected officials, esp. this close to election day. If you agree with the petition, I encourage you to sign it right now (and...

I am trying to understand the condition of a battery on a 2008 Roadster I am hoping to purchase from a private seller. As background, the car has about 3,000 miles but no warranty. I am working on getting service records, but other than the battery questions below, all indications are that the...

I spend 80% of my time in Beijing, and I happen to be in NY when Elon is in town and has a one on one interview with my friend. So much for my 15 minutes of fame... I don't have time (and not really the skill) to translate, but here is the link from 163.com, which seems to have some...
