    Used VMS

    Is there an old, salvaged VMS someone would like to sell? I am considering doing some reverse engineering.

    Roadster 2.5 - Vin 1277 Failure - ID981 State Transition Fault

    Hello, Yesterday I got up to find the vehicle would attempt to charge, then stop with an ID 981 "State Transition Fault" after about 5 seconds. Then about 10 seconds later, it would try again. The charge screen would show something ridiculously small, like 37 volts, on the HPC. Long before it...

    Is the eMMC memory subject to Failure?

    There, recently, is a lot of talk about the S having eMMC memory failures because of the excessive writes of the system log. Is the Roadster subject to this kind of failure? Support for the Roadster has been evaporating from Tesla themselves (as has their service gone way downhill). So I'd...

    Threading the USB cable for the radio...

    I am replacing the radio, and the new one has "Android Play", so I need to plug it in. But the cable is USB-C. Two questions: 1. Before I break things with force (as I did the GSM antenna)... Is the microphone easily removable? It is just snapped in? I can't see or feel what is holding the...

    Looking for a GSM antenna for my 2.5

    Does anyone have an old GSM antenna, or can recommend a source to buy one? I have damaged my antenna, while attempting to R&R the radio. The antenna is only a PCB in a case, with the coax soldered to it. A replacement PCB is all I would need, I can easily solder the replacement. Fabricating...

    Service failed me AGAIN - ISO a windshield for Roadster 2.5

    So, this happened the other day, right in the driver side. My insurance filled out the claim, and connected me with one of their "approved" repair companies. They put in a call and email to Tesla. Over a week later, no one has responded. This is typical of the horrible service that Tesla...

    TPMS Continues to fail. The "New" customer service is non-existent.

    As many have read, my TPMS continues to self-sabotage. While there is some question as to whether this is intentional to force you to go back and pay Tesla to fix it, or it's just garbage that they won't fix or even acknowledge, one thing remains constant. Their customer service still is...

    TMPS - Major Defect. Doubt Tesla will fix it...

    This is speculation, but here is what I just experienced: I put new tires on the car, and they didn't pay attention when they remounted them... They swapped the rear wheels left/right. I told them my sensors would be out of wack, and they need to fix it. They said "no problem we can reprogram...

    TPMS CONTINUES TO FAIL... [RANT] And they are gonna send people the mars?

    Personally, I wouldn't sign up, if these companies won't use parts that last more than three months. After yet another failure, identified in my previous threads ( "Tire Pressure Monitor Service Required" Error Message and That TPMS issue, summarized ) it has failed again. The "new" unit...

    That TPMS issue, summarized

    Here is what I determined to the consistently failing TMPS issue: This is a followup to: TPMS - Again on my LEMON. 4 times 37,000 miles To solve this, thry this first: Go back to your Tesla service center, and have them get their proprietary, confidential, only for Tesla use, TPMS programmer...

    TPMS - Again on my LEMON. 4 times 37,000 miles

    Yet again, every year like clockwork, the TPMS has given me a failure. I have a few questions for the experienced service people. How can I determined the exact cause? The logs only says "Hardware Fault". The info display and the diag display both are showing blanks for the pressure and...

    Suddenly, the car is jamming AM radio stations.

    I'm throwing this one open to the community, to see if there are any ideas out there. Recently I took my Roadster 2.5 in for annual service, plus they had to dig deep under the hood to replace the cabin blower. That meant removing the aux power supply, which I learned is where the car gets it...

    Anyone know how to replace the Cabin Blower?

    My cabin blower just died. No air flowing. There are no warnings on the screen, and the fuse is fine. I turn on the AC and I can hear the compressor spin up, then shut down after 20-30 seconds because there is no air moving across the coils. So, unless this is a "marketing" tool, as it...

    Replacing the 12V aux Battery

    Today I replaced my 12V battery in my Roadster, so here is a summary of what it took. With a life span of about 12 months, it's really annoying. It's also annoying to be standing in a parking lot trying to get into a car that cost more than my first house, and have it refuse to unlock for 2-4...
