I have OVMS but no longer have a sim card for it. H20 randomly deactivated my sim card, so I don't want to use them, and TMobile doesn't have a plan cheaper than $40/mo that has data. Is there any company (that operates in Seattle) that provides a small amount of cheap data/text for the OVMS to...

Has anybody else experienced the buttons on the console randomly turning off while driving? For me, the heat, ac, recirculation and traction control buttons randomly turn off (about once or twice an hour). This is mostly an annoyance except the traction control, which can be dangerous.

I didn't know there was another Roadster around Lake City Way (Seattle), and I was so surprised I don't think I waved properly. If the owner is on this forum, I'm so stoked! I wonder if he was from around there or just passing through. Though it's not exactly a Tesla-friendly neighborhood, which...

I was in Spokane in my Roadster last weekend and needed a full range charge before heading back to Seattle. I found a few charging locations on the map. The first I went to at the parking lot of the Avista corporation was full, so I went to another location close by. It was in the parking lot of...

Have you ever heard of this problem? I opened the trunk using the button in the car. Then, when I tried to close it, both latches didn't catch. The trunk is mostly empty by the way. Only after I put the key in and twisted it around did the latches catch and I was able to close the trunk.

While driving to Ellensburg from Spokane at 55mph in Max Range mode, I noticed that my estimated range was significantly higher than the ideal range. Something like 170 ideal miles to 200 estimated miles. So now I'm wondering. Can I make it to Seattle from Spokane on a single charge? Maybe at...

Hi All! I've been planning a trip from Seattle to Spokane and back. Looking at my range and the available charging locations, I'm going to stop in Ellensburg (probably the Days Inn & EJ RV Park) and then Ritzville at the Cedars Inn RV Park. Does anybody have experience or advice with this trip...

Hi, Over the weekend I accidentally took some pretty violent bumps while accelerating. I think I may have even caught a bit of air... :eek: Anyway, I've noticed a new squeak that is pretty constant when the car is moving, something is rolling around when I turn, and there's a gap on the bottom...

I just saw this article, what do y'all think? If Apple wants to transform cars, it should build this instead of copying Tesla - Yahoo Finance "... the real target for any company that wants to transform the automotive industry isn’t battery-powered electrics, but affordable hydrogen-powered cars."

Hi all, There has been some interest in logging my trip from Phoenix to Seattle, so I'll catalog it here. Started in Phoenix, with a full charge at the seller's house. After the charge he took down the wall charger and I put it in the passenger seat along with my bags. I then had dinner with...

Hi all, Ever since I got my Roadster a short while ago, I've wanted to connect with other owners and fans of Tesla to share the awesomeness of these cars, and the vision of the company. But the tools here on TMC for organizing and communicating events are a bit lacking. The Seattle and PNW...

I've noticed some people have a cool profile picture of their car. I've tried to upload mine. Though it shows up in settings under "Your Current Profile Picture", it doesn't show up under my name when I post. What's the issue?

There are some cool apps for the Model S, but haven't seen much software geared at the roadster. Does anything exist?

Hi, I've been driving my new roadster #221 from the seller's house to mine. (about 1500 miles) Now that I'm almost home (90 miles away), the roadster is dirty from all sorts of things inside and out. i know i need to wash it by hand, but between the fan holes and squeaky roof, I'm wondering what...

Hi, I'm driving this sweet 2008 roadster back home, but I've hit some problems: 1) The seller forgot the PIN -.- 2) The audio system doesn't recognize my iPhone, though it's a new iPhone that I'm connecting with an adapter to the built-in 30-pin connector. This is really bad because the iPhone...

Hi, What is the anti-theft system for the Roadster 1.5? I can't seem to find much information on it...

Hi, I just got approved for a loan to buy a '08 roadster that's currently in Phoenix. I'm in Seattle. Between licensing, title transfer and insurance, what would I have to do to be able to drive it from it's current location back home? I'd like to get on a plane with the check, give it to the...

I'm looking for a reasonably priced Model S standard with a 60kwh battery. Preferably a more recent model with no options except tech package (autopilot) and supercharger. Even better if it's white. Alternatively, a cheap roadster would work too :)
