    Roadster PEM failure

    you will need a high wattage soldering iron as the pads have a huge amount of copper around them. I uses "resistance soldering" with a weller solder gun with the tip cut off

    Roadster PEM failure

    I have #1362 (one of the last US v2.5 sport units made). After many years of no issues (other than TPMS), I got code 905 and car would not go. I rebuilt my PEM (new insulators and capacitors), while there I reinforced the back of the molex connectors with epoxy so none of the pins could back...

    I36 & I25 in Denver has a new switchable transponder for the HOV/toll lane. I put one on the windshield of my S. I just got my first statement and their system did not see the transponder and billed me via license plate (even though I was HOV). I called and they said that Tesla windshields...

    Service message

    please let us know how to turn it off. My local service center told me only they could do it after performing the annual service (which I am pushing out to every 2 years or so as I don't drive a lot) thanks in advance

    Different tires and wheels? Lower profile? Wider? Taller?

    The continental tires are working fine, and the car is definitely quieter which is nice. Cornering is not quite as tight, but I really had to push it to see any slip. On the 2008 there is no input on a screen to say "new tires". Ii just drove carefully for 30 miles or so, I only saw the TC...

    Different tires and wheels? Lower profile? Wider? Taller?

    I will be getting continental brand all-weather tires on my 2008 tesla next week. I can get all 4 tires replaced ($140 each) for about the same cost as just the rear tires in yoko AD07's ($320 per tire). somewhere I read that the yoko AD07 is not upposed to be used below 14 degrees F. It...
