I've hesitated posting this but, I don't have anywhere else to vent (My GF is sick of hearing about it). My Roadster was picked up on July 6th. Was told the battery was toast and I needed a new one. A new one was ordered, and shipped in. The local Service Center (Service Center #1) didn't...

So, this has had me wondering for quite a while. What's the deal with people who buy Roadsters...and then steadfastly refuse to drive them? I mean I get the whole "Only drive it on nice days" attitude. I also get that almost no one has a Roadster as "their only car", so it's relegated to...

I watched Jay Leno's Garage last night (on CNBC). Not sure exactly when it aired (I have Tivo). The entire episode was devoted to "SuperCars". The first segment starred Robert Herjavec (from the show "Shark Tank"). He mostly spoke about his Lamborghini Coutach but, during Jay Leno's...

So, I had a very nice morning out tooling around with the Roadster. Came home, put it on the charger and, after 30 minutes of charging, got error 909 "DMC HW: PhaseB Low Side Desat Fault" Car won't charge, car won't drive. It's a paperweight. A really expensive, really cool-looking...

I called the TSC on Tyco Rd (Tyson's Corner, VA) to schedule my annual service. When setting up the appointment, I was informed by Carlos that "We no longer provide Model S loaners to Roadster owners". That sucks. They offered me an Enterprise rental but, that's just a pain in the butt to...

So, I replaced the stock pads with Carbotech AX6 pads this weekend. Was pretty easy to do (thank you YouTube), and...I know everyone else already knows this but...wow, what a huge difference! Only issue I've run into is the parking brake now has quite a bit more travel in it than I would like...

Driving home last night. I-495 (DC Beltway), in the High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. I passed a guy on the right (who wasn't getting over...but eventually did...directly into the lane I was occupying). I was B-A-R-E-L-Y able to squeeze past him but, I had a small casualty - my passenger side...

I'm going to try very, very hard not to make this a crazy anti-Tesla rant but, what the heck am I doing wrong here??? 11255 Air Park Road, Ashland, VA 23005 Two Schneider Level 2 charging pedestals toward the far end of the building. The RFID card reader has been disabled and no card is...

When I flick the key (or touch the battery icon on the screen) to switch to "Performance" mode, it often displays "Performance" in red letters and then, 3-5 seconds later, switches over to "Performance" in white letters. Sometimes, it never switches over to white letters...and stays with red...

Anyone have suggestions on what kind of adhesive I can use to reattach some of the rear deck lettering? I got a broken "E" (thankfully, I have the piece - it was stuck in the mesh of the car cover)

Does someone have a list of the error codes for the UMC? I did a search on the forum and didn't come up with anything (might have been using the wrong terms, though), and the UMC manual just says to "note the number of flashes and call Tesla Service". Not helpful.

I know there are a handful (a small handful, I'm sure) of Roadster owners with a trailer hitch installed. I'd like to get one (to install a bike hauler - not to tow) but I'm a bit confused, and have some questions. 1) The main one I'm seeing is made by Curt (#11322) but, every site...including...

So, I went out to McDonald's to get myself a well-deserved McFlurry, I'm driving home, was 1/4 mile from my house (if that), drove over a speed bump (that I've driven over 200+ times before), heard a very-ominous "pop" sound from the battery pack area, and the whole car just shut down. I have a...

OK, so I'm very confused here. I have a 2011 Roadster 2.5. I've connected a head's up GPS-based speedometer to the 12V accessory port (I'm 6'1" and, between the steering wheel and the glare from the sun, I can see exactly NONE of the 3 speedometers in the car). The HUD works great...I've...

Hello all...first post here. I've done my due "search" diligence and haven't found anything specifically on-topic, so I figured I'd post the question up. I have a 2011 2.5 Roadster on its way to me (being shipped from NY). I've done a couple of extended test drives in them (a 2010 and the...
