I’ve listed my 1.5 Thunder Grey Roadster on Bring A Trailer. Not really “orphaned”, still loved, but hope she goes to a good home. PM me with any Q’s. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2008-tesla-roadster-35/

Sorry @Roadster , I had the wrong handle for the previous owner, it was @gwagen27, my apologies. You have a very good memory, Tony took 453 to his shop in San Diego and QuickPower installed one of the very first JdeMO kits, it worked great (though I only used it twice to test the system, I...

“Why Bots and what will they be used for?” I have a theory - always Frame Elon’s endeavors as pieces to make human-life multi planetary Try it, it’s a fun game: think of a feature of any Musk company and consider how it’s directly applicable to enabling life on Mars Teslabot - In short...

The Model X can tow a lot more than an airplane.

My WAG for today’s movement : The Big Boys waited for the S&P rebalancing on June 18 +\- 3 days, we’ve seen significant after-hours trading over the past few days (with very low volume during regular market hours). An orderly rebalance concluded without any fireworks, so it’s safe for whales...

The really do look great, thank you for arranging!

Absolutely, a Roadster circumnavigated the world in 2010 on a 24,000 mile trip - sponsored by Tag Heuer. Tesla Roadster arrives in Paris at conclusion of historic world tour TAG Heuer and Tesla Motors Launch Worldwide Partnership Some beautiful eye-candy :

I “disagree” with the assumption made by someone considering an EV that a long trip isn’t possible - the limitations of driving electric are fewer than expected and hurdles much lower - once you own an EV, range anxiety is no longer a thing. The supercharging network is vast and expanding, I...

Also in for 2 hats

Fine idea, but first... Tesla would need have a PR Department — https://nypost.com/2020/10/06/tesla-has-disbanded-its-pr-department-report/ (Oh, I refuse to link Electrek the NYP article is based on... cuz, well... all things Eletrek)

Sales Tax incentive for a dealer trade varies by state, for example, California does not offer that incentive - and the customer pays full sales tax regardless of trade-in.

Musk’s Roadster 2.0 launched into space was painted in a bespoke Red with a gold colored base coat and more than a half-dozen red passes. The paint was spectacular in person (I’m using the past tense since I suspect space radiation is hard on the car’s clear coat). Fun Fact: A second Roadster...

Tony Williams [QC Power] posted on the Roadster Owners’s FB group that the last Jademo unit was shipped and they are no longer making the Jademo for Roadster due to lack of demand. There were only approximately 50 total units shipped : most going to Europe, several in Japan, a few in...

Limited parking at mall stores for test drive fleet. Making room for showroom/test drive Model Y’s. Also, new Performance Model 3 V2 revealed yesterday, the updated Track Mode UI and tire/rims Package should drive traffic into stores.

Good News SoCal Roadster Owners - Executive Motorwerkz expanded into a larger shop!! If you took part in the Roadster Meet-Up this summer, you likely met Javier and his team, great guys with lots of Roadster knowledge. I just dropped 453 off for its Annual and to investigate a pesky BSM fault...

Ok, so here’s my take, it was bold/risky, calculated and Genius (with a liberal dose of Hubris). From a marketing perspective : a HUGE WIN. The world is on notice - Tesla is entering the truck market, that word went viral, hitting everyone’s news feed this morning (counterintuitively helped...

Also on Ebay : 2008 Tesla Roadster | eBay

At first, the 3.0 upgrade was only offered to 2.0/5, but eventually 1.5 were also included in the upgrade program.

One note, 1.5’s can reset new TPMS sensors by driving. I ordered new sensors from Amazon (link below) and after install, the warning went away after a few miles of driving. TPMS fits Tesla Roadster (VIN... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W59CHLK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Well, they’re not exactly Tony Stark cool... and... I know, it’s not exactly a Roadster either. But these billboards are up around LA too, and likely the closest thing to a Roadster on a contemporary movie poster

Count 453 in too - we are near MDR

I think the taillights migrated from Bespoke51 to TransForged’s website : Tesla Roadster Rear Lights

Nice work!! 951 looks beautiful! Well, if the project started in January, that’s practically “next-day” Service by Tesla standards! Nice one!!

Don’t over think it... any of it... The Roadster 2020 will be a decade ahead of anything from the automotive industry (even including Tesla). If you actually have a reservation, congrats. There are hundred of thousands of happy (ecstatic/jubilant) Tesla owners who moved on beyond concerns...

Tesla Family Photo - Centinela, Nov 2017 Sister’s Model 3 delivery By 2020, we’re going to need a bigger garage

I’m 6’4 - hmmm... What’s with exceptionally tall people driving tiny Roadsters?

I have the MC240 and I can confirm it only charges at 30amps.

It is rude to "thumbs-down" the sight of Roadster TPMS sensors? ;)

I've known Javier for several years, he's a great guy and was a long time Roadster Tech at Tesla. Last year, he serviced my Roadster and swapped my rotors at a small shop near SpaceX, and I'm pleased to hear he's expanding! I'd have no hesitation recommending him to wrench on a Roadster, or...

Last night SpaceX landed the first Flight Proven (reused) Block5 engine. Block5 allows for much faster turnaround for launches with much lower costs, this will be the workhorse engine that secures SpaceX's dominance in inexpensive launches going forward. And coincidently, Elon announces...

Thanks for posting, I’ve been considering the same system for my 1.5 - the Alpine Halo unit looks great, and I’m pleased the vents aren’t obstructed! It would be sooo nice to have a proper backup camera. You may have installed the unit yourself (Nice work); if you used a shop, do you mind...

Price Reduction - $1,800 I can drop-off/deliver anywhere in Southern CA

Sorry for the very delayed response, I was out of the country for 6 weeks. The 21" Turbine wheels are still available.

It's a shame, these "too good to be true prices" also diminish the perceived value of legitimate Roadsters. A uneducated potential buyer would question why some Roadsters go for $70-90k while he's seen ads online for $42k.

Umm, a full sized Roadster isn't considerably larger than most 1:18 scale cars, you could start there. ;)

Roadster, you've certainly done your research and seem well informed (I'm impressed that the "Roadster" handle was still available in late-2016). I would suspect as Telsa's brand becomes mainstream going forward, the pool of interested buyers for Tesla's limited first-run vehicle will...

I sent Dave an email yesterday inquiring about the "shipping e-mail" status. He let me know that the rotor shipments have only gone out for those who ordered rotors only, without pads. Dave is waiting for the Brake Pads to be delivered, he'll be in touch when the pads arrive.

Adding one note: if you do come across a legitimate Roadster for sale (at any price), always ask a Service Center to confirm the car's status with Tesla. If Tesla flags a Roadster as unserviceable (i.e. insurance paid out as totaled and the car was rebuilt from a donor car), Tesla will NOT...

If "it is not actually left-handed" is a hint, I'm thinking "Inconceivable Speed" - Perfect name to dismiss haters when MS E.V. bests 918 in 0-60. :) Well fellas, today's shaping up to be a good day.

Although the mile long Hyperloop tube used for the upcoming Pod Design Competition prototypes in January appears similar to the Falcon9 in the picture, the Falcon9 is twice the diameter - Hyperloop 6' (1.8m) vs. Falcon9 12' (3.66m). I suspect it's different materials, the HyperLoop tubes...

HyperLoop is getting Real!! Outside of Tesla's Design Studio. and AEdennis already beat me to it... but I couldn't help myself. Falcon9 getting a fresh coat of paint

Hey Dean, my Roadster can sound like a train stopping (like metal grinding on metal) - the techs gave me the same suggestion to preform a few hard stops to brake down the glaze. I'm signed up for the group rotor buy, my hope is any change in the brake configuration may change this noise...

@wiztecy is right, both sunshades slide right off in a second, providing another inch of visibility, I'd start there. You can check lotus groups for the micro-rearview mirror and side-mirrors.
