    Tesla Graphical Log Parser

    Thanks for the info. Yeah, I do resize the TeslaGLOP to maximize its size on the screen. I know that I can also use the non-graphical parser to get data like TeslaGLOP exports. It is very useful to be able to look around in the data using TeslaGLOP and then use the other parser to pull out the...

    Trunk release issues

    I've had similar problems and have the actuator hardware from Tesla and directions on how to replace when I get around to it. One hint from my experience: Once you get the trunk open after it's been stuck, tie a relatively thin strap or rope to the manual trunk release inside the trunk. Then...

    Tesla Graphical Log Parser

    The parser is great. I just started using it again for the first time in a couple years and am wondering if anyone knows: 1) Running it on my new Windows 8 notebook, the "Export Graph" functionality fails. Does anyone know of a fix or workaround? When I hit the ok to save it to the desired...

    Roadster trunk latches problem

    Thanks. I assume you mean: I didn't find that with my search before starting this thread and just found it now based on looking at your posts. Maybe a moderator should combine these threads, but it would need renamed since the previous thread started talking about the hood (front) latching...

    Roadster trunk latches problem

    I thought I'd seen a similar issue in a thread here before, years ago, but searched and couldn't find it, so: 8 days ago my trunk stopped opening. I think it made the usual clicking noises the first couple tries, but then the clicks stopped happening. Same results with a key or with the...

    The 12 Volt Battery

    Yeah, I found the charge port door opening and closing work-around on my own. I believe it just took one open close cycle for mine. Before I found that, the key unlock button would take minutes to unlock the car with the 12V battery dead or close to dead. I went a few months with a dead 12V...

    My 3-day Old Roadster Towed Back to Store

    I had a similar problem (or another problem, leading to this problem) happen within the last 3 months on my 2010 2.0 Roadster Sport. Background: I moved my Roadster from Virginia to Guam almost 3 years ago. Guam is very humid during the rainy season (not sure whether Hong Kong or Guam is...

    Kevin Sharpe's decreased Roadster range

    What is the "disconcerting drop in range" you refer to here? The linear fit seems to show a gradual reduction in range. I would think that nearly any place you zoomed in on (in time), you would see similar multiple mile drops and increases. On the plots, everything would look a lot less...

    Charging Question

    Anyone have any first hand experience, to give us input on this? I also thought that the Roadster should charge fine again if plugged in within a reasonable amount of time (I'd expected at worst within a couple days would be fine, but not waiting as long as months).

    Changing Drive Mode On The Fly?

    I believe that, on this point, the 2.0's and 2.5's are similar, or the same.

    Fisker Fires

    My employer shipped my Roadster Sport for my move last November and the shipping company required no extra cost (nor extra preparation) for it beyond an ICE and they knew the make and model before quoting the cost. I hope there is no significant change in what they will charge before I ship it back.

    OVMS Firmware Update Procedure

    FYI - A problem I saw: I couldn't get the hardware to work properly with my laptop. Sometimes the programmer GUI wouldn't see the programmer, and when the programmer GUI did see the programmer, it mis-identified the type of the part to be programmed. These problems persisted over multiple...

    Thermal Cooling running off of 110V?

    There are other threads that talk about this, but I don't remember what they decided about cooling when charging at 120V. I looked at them when I moved and started charging at 120V, but since it seemed to be working well when I first got here, I didn't look too closely and didn't bother trying...

    Thermal Cooling running off of 110V?

    Charging with 120V@12A, my fans definitely often/usually turn on and run at the start of charging. I never really pay attention to the battery temperature. I just used the OVMS to wake up my car and see that the battery was at 86F after waking up. It wasn't charging, so I used the OVMS to...

    Don't make the same mistake I made...

    The few compressors I saw in stores required more current than the Roadster is rated for on its 12V outlet. The info at the link doesn't seem to indicate the maximum current draw.

    New factory CF airdam w/xenon fogs upgrade! (MAYBE!)

    Aren't the 2.0 and 1.5 noses the same, unless the particular 2.0 has the CF exterior option package?

    I believe that the Tesla HID upgrade is also low beams only.

    Extra Key Questions

    The lock button on one of my keys has stopped working and my usual Tesla ranger told me that a ranger needs to be at the car to do the programming (and they have been very willing to support me remotely when they can), but it's always a good idea to go ahead and ask Tesla for yourself.

    Model S Insurance

    I've had detachable stereo face plates before and never detached them since it would have been too much of a hassle; there's no way I'd bother detaching a 17" display regularly (or at all).

    Log Parsing tool available

    Has anyone asked Tesla whether they consider this an indication of a potential issue? They seem to have other methods of determining issues with the pack; I would think that they would use this method also if it is of real value.

    Open Vehicle Monitoring System

    Changing SIMs in the OVMS module? Mark, I want to change the SIM in my OVMS module. The new SIM will be from the same carrier and so has the same APN, username, and password. Do I need to do anything besides physically swapping in the new SIM (i.e., will the OVMS server forget about the old...

    VDS range display issue with roadster firmware 4.6.5

    Did anything in the firmware really change on this? Maybe the firmware update just caused a revert to some factory settings (i.e., at least this setting), or the ranger played with it for some reason? I'm pretty sure that my Roadster came new with the VDS initially displaying Idea range (which I...

    Open Vehicle Monitoring System

    In case you hadn't seen: if the message comes in while you are running the app, the message doesn't go to the notification manager screen that you showed. Also, the notification manager screen can be gotten from any iPhone screen by swiping down.

    Open Vehicle Monitoring System

    I tried setting charge time for midnight on the VDS and later started charging using the OVMS to start charging immediately and it worked fine, but sometime later (after charging would have completed) when I opened the OVMS app I noticed that the charge cable connector didn't show up. No one had...

    Automatic creep makes it impossible to come to a smooth stop

    After about 2.75 years of driving my Roadster (27,000 miles), I still haven't noticed this, even though I've read this thread before. I'll have to make an effort to pay attention some time and see what all of the fuss is about. Regardless, I expect that there are other things (and probably...

    OVMS AT&T GoPhone SIM card installation guide

    I assume that other people see this odd behavior also: If I'm running the OVMS app at the time that a notification comes in from the car, the notification displays briefly on the top of the phone and then goes away (like usual), but that notification is not available in the notification manager...

    OVMS AT&T GoPhone SIM card installation guide

    When I got my SIM, I bought a cheap phone to use to verify the SIM setup (and SMS/data working on the carrier's network); that was a lot easier than talking to them about it being used in a piece of hardware in my car. I actually ended up needing the extra phone because I had to get a second SIM...

    Open Vehicle Monitoring System

    Ok, sorry, I had thought maybe you had a way to cause charging to start a requested delay after plugin instead of meaning the start at a requested time. I had mentally combined the post below with the feature above and had thought maybe there was a new type of offset delayed charging. I often...

    Roadster History North America

    They were out of the badges when my car was shipped. I think I got them 1-2 months later.

My CF door sills also came a few months after I got my car, and...

    How many roadster owners active on TMC, and what type of roadster?

    Why would you not want remote cellular monitoring/control

    Except, since a small number of motivated owners was able to very quickly create such a cool tool/toy for the car, it seems stupid that Tesla didn't bother throwing a couple people and "a few bucks" at it and do it long ago. [In "very quickly" I'm not counting the time for reverse engineering...

    Differences in roadster versions

    I believe that "Directional forged wheels available in both silver and black" were available for at least 2.0 and maybe 1.5. I believe that the change at 2.5 was just a different design (I thought just cosmetic). I thought that most of the changes that improved cooling were done starting at...

    Why would you not want remote cellular monitoring/control

    The OVMS (and I expect the Tattler) is so inexpensive, easy to install, and such a useful/cool tool that waiting (even if Tesla does come out with one which doesn't require the extra, but insignificant cost, hardware) didn't make sense to me. If Tesla's is better I'm sure I'll use it instead...
