    Still for sale: 2.5 Roadster w/Jademo (Norway)

    Yeah I think it's very affordable price, but still no takers, been on offer for a year and I need the space :) CAC is on the low side, ~134, but I don't trust it since the only trips it has had the last year is potential buyers heading straight for the highway for 20 minutes then parking it...

    Strange paint defect

    I expect them to be able to help, as in get the issue fixed for payment. And maybe do some of the work on goodwill since they admit that it's a defect from the factory. But at least take the car in and get it looked at. Not just tell me that there is nothing they can do for me. It might, but...

    Strange paint defect

    Just to update the thread, here is my newly wraped roadster, with the bubbles removed. No help from Tesla. Total cost NOK29.000 (USD3600), very happy with the result. (Guess I need to update my avatar, hehe )

    Strange paint defect

    Yeah I have stopped using Tesla for my roadster all together and canceled my order for a Model 3. I rather drive 8x2 hours to Elbilmek to fix issues, instead of dealing with Tesla. And I know others that have sold their X because they are fed up by Tesla's lack of service. I have a friend who...

    Strange paint defect

    My problems has gotten worse during winter storage. I have an appointment with a body shop where they will sand this down, but instead of repaint I will do a full wrap of the car. A bit cheaper and I get "a new car". The shop has done this with another roadster before and they claim good result...

    another regen/brake light discussion

    In Norway it is not permitted for the Roadster as well. The reason is that when the car was first approved for roads in EU the law stated that the brake light was to turn on when the brake pedal was physically pushed. This law has been changed in recent years, but does not apply to older cars...

    Manual battery cooldown mod - a cure for the Roadsters insomnia

    Thanks for this, I will defeinitly be doing this to keep jdemo charging temperature down. But how about doing this with a relay and let OVMS control it? I would guess that there is some spare IO to use? Anyone know?

    Parts to aquire...

    Hi everyone. There is a roadster for sale in parts (battery is all ready sold). I am grabbing the headlights, since mine have started to peel and I am thinking of grabing the PEM as well if the price is right. Is there any other spare parts that might be a good investment...

    ABS & Traction Control Problems. Service Required ID: 1103

    Interresting. I have had others mentioning low voltage as a problem. Anyhow, Tesla made a statement that the ABS was ok, and the car passed inspection.

    ABS & Traction Control Problems. Service Required ID: 1103

    This error appeared in my car today, in the very worst possible time imaginable, during the 2 year mandatory EU roadworthiness test. So the car did not pass the test (note that Tesla is not certified to do this tests so must be done at an independent workshop without tesla tools). When I picked...

    Trip counter bug after 1000km

    Hi. I have a couple of long roadtrips in my roadster each year. I always reset the trip counter before I start and have noticed that when it passes 1000 km it starts to count from 0 again and the Wh/km meter jumps to 99.9, and stays that way. Anyone else seen this?

    Great deal on Roadster with "weird issue".

    Just an update. Tesla had a look at the car. There was a leak in the batterypack: They patched it together, however my friend ended up ordering a new 3.0 battery.

    OVMS failure

    I had this issue on my ovms when I first got it, don't know if it's related. Connected to the car it produced the same led sequence as you, but on my bench with a serial debug cable attached it started up no problems. After some investigation I found that when powered thru the OBD port a lot...

    Great deal on Roadster with "weird issue".

    Have not examined the logs yet. The USB stick I had would not work. So during the weekend the OVMS I installed stoped responding. He woke up the car by unlocking it and then a new error was reported: "ID1522 Backup power active", car operates as normal.

    Great deal on Roadster with "weird issue".

    He just received the car. Tesla has previously tried to swap the pem, but that did not help. So the problem is in the battery pack, and they do not fix those (need to buy a new pack, and the car was priced with that in mind.). The question is if it's worth fixing, since the car drives just...

    Great deal on Roadster with "weird issue".

    Due to the holidays and everything I looked at the car for the first time yesterday. The car was not fully charged and therefor worked normally. The Fault light is always on, and it said battery maintenance required. Putting the vds in debug mode revealed a "Battery Bleed Scan Failure" (ID:7...

    Great deal on Roadster with "weird issue".

    Hi Guys. A friend of mine just struck a great deal on a 2010 2.0 Roadster. The seller priced it with a "defective battery", however the battery is working just fine, but has had a weird issue the last two years. I have not seen the car myself yet so I have not been able to read out any logs or...

    Fiberglass blisters in body

    Yeah mine spreads too. Regarding to Tesla here it's due to moist. So basically you cannot use the car in either sunny or moist conditions, hehe.

    Fiberglass blisters in body

    Not on the same place. First was on left side of car, this time it's on the right side. So the side previously threated is still ok, but who knows if it will reappear in the future. I am waiting for an offer from the Tesla approved body shop to fix this, hopefully they will give a guarantee on...

    Fiberglass blisters in body

    When I bought my 2011 roadster used a couple of years ago it was fresh out of the paint shop to fix some "blisters" in the paint on warranty. Now, just after the warranty expired, the same type of blisters has apeared on the other side of the car, and it keeps getting worse. According to Tesla...

    Repaint with new color

    Just notices this lightning green roadster for sale here in Norway. This was originally a Thunder gray (like mine), but the owner had it repainted lightning green (at a tesla certified shop) due to some scratches etc. Do you guys think this affects the future "collector value" of this car or...

    Sourcing interior light fixture

    Broken clip when putting in LED :) But it has also been very "loose" in switching between modes, so I guess the previous owner has been a bit hard with it or something. Good tip about tape, but I found a cheap Elise light on ebay. It looked identical on the pictures so I bought it, so I'll see...

    Unable to open Roadster boot/trunk

    Yes I have had this repeatadly. I use the car all year so mine has been ice/moist related. Solution has been heating up the car (by charging while in garage) and using a lot of force while pushing down on the trunk. Then when open, lubricate everything (lock, and the latching mechanism on both...

    JdeMO for the Roadster?

    Just payed for the jdemo yesterday, and I do (ofcourse) have the ovms. I have the tools for crimping them myself, but If you do a mass buy I will join in. I guess there is no rush :)

    Where to look for used cars [Europe]

    Definitely not selling :) Finn.no is the largest(?) marketplace in Norway, so I would be surprised if any Roadsters for sale in Norway is sold without beeing on finn. But Stefan T is absolutly right, you need to pay both vat and customs on it (not everyone is as lucky as us where EV's have...

    What's gone wrong with your Roadster?

    I have had my 2.5 roadster for about 1.5 years, only one previous owner. Just rounded 70.000km. I don't know the complete service history before I got it, but at least there was some issue with the paint getting "bubbles". In this 1.5 years of ownership I have had the following issues: - Dead...

    BSM Contactor failure - unable to charge...

    I also had a lot of problems last winter due to moist. I did get a lot of warnings, sounds, and the car did not "turn off". It was drivable without the key in ignition (but dash, lights etc was off), unable to charge etc. Leaving it in a dry garage solved the problem. But it came back in...

    JdeMO for the Roadster?

    I am currently in contact with Tony about this. Will also try to get a few more local Roadster owners onboard. Just read in the news that they are building 150 new gouvernment sponsored chademo/combo/type-2 22kw chargespots in Norway next year, so this would really help me with the super...

    ABS use results loss of cigarette lighter power

    Whenever ABS breaking activates the 12 volt outlet disconnects (phone stops charging). As soon as the condition clears, the 12 volts comes back. Just curious if this is by design or if it's just my car?
