Sensor alert is wrong. Frunk is securely closed. Can’t use auto drive or cruise. Alarm won’t stop blaring and I can’t turn it off. I tried PB blaster to see if assembly was stuck, no dice. I opened and closed multiple times. I rebooted car from service screen multiple times. Any ideas? TIA T

2017 P100D. FSD. Stereo infotainment upgrade package. Mostly I hate the nags with FSD. I’m loathe to update because I hear they get worse. Is it true? Will FSD nags become worse? Anyone unhappy with FSD after 2023.44.30.6 upgrade. I already hate all the nags. Do they get worse after the...

Any way to take a crashed MX and move the heat pump to a legacy 2017 P100D? I’m not looking to trade in my 60,000 mile AWESOME MX anytime soon. I’d like the improved efficiency in Winter of the heat pumps if possible. If not possible I’ll live with it.

2017 P100D. 60,000 miles. Original purchaser and owner. Vehicle was purchased 5 seater all options. NYC roads killed my suspension. Front end major repairs… covered by warranty! I’ve been receiving texts from Tesla regarding eligibility to upgrade to FSD cameras and computers (that I paid for...

People posted about a company run by Tesla enthusiasts that is selling tires and rims. I want to purchase BUT I lost the thread. I noticed it sometime about the start or just pre-COVID-19 pandemic. I want to buy their 19" rims with runflat tires for my 2017 P100D. I absolutely want runflats...

Well, other forums have it, and I think that now that our vehicles are classics and require modifications and upkeep, we should have this type of thread also. What have you guys been doing to your Roasters? What upgrades? What maintenance? What repairs? This thread will allow you to boast and...

OVMS has paid for itself... I was wondering why I was in storage mode BUT the charge fell to 83%. Roadster was plugged in using 14 gauge extension cord and 110 Volt Roadster charger with GSM delete. It is raining and about 60 degrees OVMS was not allowing me to turn on charge or swap charging...

I have the new upgrade, and it is useless with my MCU1. I don't need to see 4 cameras while I drive. I only need to see parking lines and front obstacles when I pull in to a spot, like low lying curbs that will damage my front ground effect. I have no desire to upgraded my MCU1 to MCU2 and...

I was told by a Tesla repair specialist that CHAdeMO can damage our Roadster battery packs. I just bought the CHAdeMO device, and I will absolutely install for emergencies, but has anyone here who has installed the device seen battery damage? Thanks, T

I just got the adapter at the Tesla store, (they are now available). So, I understand what it is, but who are the best companies to purchase service from? How do I do it? What do I need to purchase? What is/are the best Apps? I won't always be near a supercharger to get use my lifetime...

Mine is damaged. Anyone got a cover they can part with? Roadster 2.5 base. Either that or a dead PEM that has an unblemished cover in good condition? TIA T

Some of you might have it, and I need one. I need to re-do my TPMS sensors and then re-marry them to my Roadster (2.5 base, 2011). Frustrating that the company makes tyhe device BUT Tesla refuses to allow them to sell the Firmware/Software to make it work on our vehicles. Best, T

I'm looking for a spare set. I know a few of you have purchased carbon fiber assemblies, and might have the frames for sale. Maybe you smacked up your front end. Maybe you were in an accident and have all the pieces to a cracked frame. Cracked and damaged OK, as long as all pieces there. If you...

Recent update fixes never ending Bluetooth to car interuptions. You must be seated in car with doors closed prior to Bluetooth activating hands free. Yeah!!!! So many times I walked by car and lost a conversation. So many times my phone would go to Bluetooth when I was in my house or office...

Popped my fender valence. Cracked it and needed replacement. $65 later and after regular service appt it was replaced. Nice, cheap, quick, appropriate. Yeah!!!

2017 Model X P100D. It was sent to autosense my daily routine, but sadly it has not after 2 months. How do I schedule her to warm the vehicle up at certain times on certain days? How do I get her to pre-warm the batteries for certain times on certain days? Best, T

I want to curse the idiots who went out of their way to crack and then post the hackability potential of the key fob. Then I want to curse the morons who actually publish the information "as a public service". First, TESLA shoulda used a company that had better key fob encryption! How did they...

My vehicle will start in charge, go up to the maximum, and then the charge will begin to jump around, eventually winding up in 0, and then work its way back up, but never back all the way. It will then continue to jump down to zero and then back up, with significant fluctuations by the second...

We need to add things like an ability to open and close windows, as that is more effective in lowering cabin temps than A/C. More electricity effective too.

Several weeks the streaming radio jumps and pauses and skips. Then it will swap to FM radio on startup in the morning. TESLA says "they are working on it". Any ideas?

This is a note to the mods... Now that the info is out there, might I suggest 2 new forums? "Roadster 2'nd Gen" AND "Semi Tractor Trailer"

What is max battery? How does it affect mileage? If it affects mileage, how do I toggle it on and off? (Or is it just that slider that affects percentage of battery charging permissible?)

Well, I finally got around to getting my rear safety belt issue resolved. My son was sitting in the middle seat this whole time. Tesla had to actually undo the entire rear seat to address the issue. My service center filed a report regarding the issue. The service center was terrific and also...

I was using a lighter plug tire inflator/pump at the power/lighter jack in the trunk. Then it went dead. Where are the fuses so I can replace this one OR are our cars equipped with circuit breakers? Where is this information in the vehicle's on-board electrical manuals? Not an emergency BUT I...

I closed up the car and set it to charge as I went on vacation. As usual the car drained 10 miles and then said it was fully charged. As a lark I set preferences to partial charge and then back to full charge... And the car began charging back to 288. That was Thursday IIRC. Saturday I noticed...

My youngest son got into the back seat, and could not find his seatbelt latch/receptacle. I went to help him and I found that the seatbelt receptacle/latch had become detached from the seat because it was never properly fastened. the screw and mechanism was lying on the cars floor, only...

I brought my car in at 12 for annual service. At 3:30 PM they told me it would be ready at 5. Does not seem they could clean out PEM in that time. Brooklyn TESLA center. Best, T

What is the difference in height, in inches, between the highest and lowest positions of the Model X suspension?

Well, I thought the P100D with Ludicrous mode was less efficient and would only charge to 275 miles. I just charged my P100D to 288 with 3% remaining at the local Supercharger. What gives? Did I misunderstand the literature? Not that I'm complaining, but I was surprised. T

I know others have done it, but I guess now it's my turn. I just picked up a Model X P100D. I have driven a Roadster for several years. I figured I would give a comparison based on my initial observations. Roadster is the quickest kick in the pants and the most fun I've ever had to drive. My...

I've been on the Roadster forum for a while. 2011 Base 2.5. I just took delivery on my fully optioned Model X. I guess I'm the last of the bunch with lifetime Supercharging and ventilated seats. I chose a 5 seater with fold down 60/40 split rear seat. (More functional). I'm a New Yorker in...

Been away. Now I'm back. Any suggestions for things I should check before my warranty expires in August? 2011 Roadster base. Glad to be back.... Also just bought a Model X with Ludicrous mode. Best, T

Tesla not selling the TPMS programming tool anymore and my dealership does not have one. Are there any options to program my car other than riding without sensors? Is there an aftermarket programming tool? Who made the Tesla tool??? Best... T

i need the tool to reset my TPMS sensors. Need ASAP. Thanks!!!

Well, my headlights were flaking, my door sill was getting lumpy/bumpy, my soft top cable broke, and I wanted cheap aluminum rims for winter driving because I didn't want to spend $3200 for forged rims. I wanted to replace the motorcycle 12V battery with the headlight repair at the same time to...

Well, I think its time. I keep hearing so many dumb questions that my cup runneth over. Let's all share and even invent a few new ones... ---------------------------------------------------------------- If it's electric, where does the gas go? How many miles per gallon? If you run out of...

So, I'm used to the fans, but they misaligned something and I hear a fan blade making a high speed whine as it rubs. This happened after yearly service. Anyone else have such an issue after yearly service? Best, T

I have a few EVSE's and I'm considering doing a conversion on several of them to make them both level 1 and level 2 EVSE's. Specifically I have a Chevy Volt EVSE and a Nissan Leaf EVSE that should be compatible for upgrade conversion. I also have a couple of Lear units meant for Smart Cars, but...

I am looking at buying a building in Brooklyn, NYC. It has a parking area. I would like to help the EV community. I'm considering after hours EV parking and charging. What do I need to consider? (I'm tending towards asking for a small fee for time spent charging up in order to prevent my...

Dear Guys, I was interested in an S, so when my roadster went in under warranty issues I asked for loaners. The first was a Model S with air suspension and ACC, the second was a performance model with spring suspension. I currently believe that I cannot proceed with a purchase of an S based...

I'm looking at Winter tires. Dealer recommends Pirelli SottoZero. I have hated Pirellis in the past. Any comments + or - ? TIA, T

2011 Roadster Base Model. I like the idea of a folding key fob, but I would need to have a folding fob that functioned as a transponder as well. Does the key have a transponder? If so, where is it hidden? Does the Tesla Roadster key fob use standard frequency and signals for me to program a...

I just bought a new to me Tesla Roadster top for my roadster, but it is the wrong color. I also bought a new rear bumper skin because living in NYC means people who park by feel. So, what is my proper paint color and clearcoat for my factory white roadster? What are the source(s)? Thanks, T

My UMC from Juicebox is rated 80 amp but has a 50 amp cord. I would like to replace with a Roadster cord. I would rather buy the blown UMC and remove the cord myself. That way I know everything I need is intact Best, T

While my car was in for servicing, I saw a blue Roadster, single din radio implying 2010 or earlier. Aside from some polishing swirls in the paint, it seems pristine, but I did not drive it nor did I inspect it closely. Blue exterior, black/brown interior. I asked whose it was, and I was told...

2011 2.5 Tesla Roadster. How can I tell if I have HID's? In NYC we have overhead lights almost everywhere, so night driving without lights is easy. When I go upstate I fear night blindness due to notorious Roadster low and poor lighting. My car has many options, so who the heck knows if the...

Average little daily type trips made awesome by a not so average car. Just driving to work, then to a friend, then to dinner, then home, then to work and home today. Had her in range mode. Started with 170 estimated. Went up to 183. Then kept driving to the point where estimated was only 2...

Re-drilling rims for 5 holes is not hard for a machine shoppe to do. I'm concerned about the offset and diameter of the wheels. Aside from the 4 vs five holes, are there other size differences? TIA, T

2011 Tesla Roadster 2.5 edition from Florida. Full factory warranty. Front window has developed an oily residue on the inner windshield ever since I began to use A/C and front defogger. Reminiscent of build-up you might see in car with small coolant leak to defroster, but no coolant odor in...

What is factory spacing and what is acceptable limits for non-factory rims? Need answers front and back. Others indicate front 6inch wide rim is only a Tesla item, and suggest 7inch is OK. What tire is then good and looks good too? What are maximum width specs on 7inch rims? 205? 175? etc...
