Good idea to hit the track. Anti-roll bars and suspension are meant to be adjusted to balance understeer/oversteer and it works exceptionally well on the Tesla. My guess is that the front tires just slid sideways (did not lock) because of the wet road. Since you were hard on the brakes, you...

I would adjust understeer tendency with adjusting the anti-roll bars and the camber, not the tire pressure.

Really??!! There should not be a problem. I lost a key for my 2.0 and had it replaced in the following way: 1. Telsa tech pulls a blank one out of his spare keys drawer, 2. He "programs" it (it took about a minute and was done on-site) and, 3. I take the blank to the hardware store to get it...

What a strange experience... I had my annual performed earlier this month with no real issues to resolve. So, while I was feeling like I threw $600 down the sewer drain, I get a call from Tesla. The tech said the guys at HQ saw an error or two in the data collected during my annual and they...

The ground clearance is only part of the issue. The length from the front wheels to the lowest part under the front bumper is the other important consideration. My garage does not have a terribly steep entrance, but a Ferrari F430 and a Porsche 911 TT both scrap - they have a very long nose...

Been to Bonderant in Arizona a few times. It is incredible and transforming. The downside is that you'll be embarrassed by how you used to drive. Enjoy!

A Tesla salesman told me that a pathetically low number of battery options were sold for the reasons already mentioned above. It sounds like the program was not initially successful because of the enterprise risk associated with Tesla itself, but it still does not sell well even though the...

6'3" and speedometer is blocked, I sometimes have trouble seeing stop lights when first in line at an intersection. The speed display on the JVC and touchscreen totally mitigate the first issue, but I have the stock mirror and visors. I've heard good things about the micromirror and will...

I got mine today and I had to use a hack saw to get the plastic packaging pieces off the car (the screws stripped immediately and I had no other way to move them). Well worth the effort. Very fun car on smooth surfaces.

On your diagram, to reduce understeer, move the front anti-roll bar bolt to the furthest left position. That is the "softest".

Long mountain descent followed by a full charge...

Can't get my fat head under the car either, but that's ok because you won't need to. You'll take the entire car apart if you start from the hood and the trunk, so don't do that. You don't need to remove/dismantle anything to reach these parts and adjust them. For the front anti-roll / sway...

I can confirm this. I made both adjustments on my Roadster today. Shocks are 7F/10R and anti-roll bars are now front outer-most (loose) and rear middle. I'd say that 80% of the understeer is gone but there is still an understeer bias. Testing the new setup, I had to work hard to create...

State Farm too. $483 / 6 months. Had to switch from GEICO. They said they would not insure the Roadster.

No Issues 1,735 miles on 2010 Roadster Sport #753 with no issues at all, except that my commute is WAY too short.
