    Acceleration Whine Caused by gears, not motor

    Normal maybe, but still, I prefer to get rid of it if possible. Did anyone manage to get it repaired? I am also referring to posts such as 86 and 87 and others, which are over half a year old. Did anything come out of that?

    Acceleration Whine Caused by gears, not motor

    Could anyone get this problem fixed in the meantime? We have had this high frequency noise (balloon squeal) on our 85 since driving back from Barcelona to Switzerland in Oct. 14 (after about 11'000 km). It might be coincidence, but almost simultaneously, the "drone" (low frequency noise...

    My 3-day Old Roadster Towed Back to Store

    When using the HP gun - about 8 times so far in 3 years - I try to keep the gun away from these delicate areas, so that water is not entering at high pressure and not in larger quantities than during a trip in a medium sized rain shower. But I will definitely change these washing "habits" after...

    Top off Function

    Impressive numbers... 248 miles, equivalent to 397 km!! Not even when I got my brand new roadster in 2010 did I get this much from a RM charge. I think, something around 365 km (228 mi) was the maximum. Now, it's down to some 335-345 km. Thanks for the info!

    Top off Function

    I already placed this question in the forum 3 years ago, but got no reply, so I try again with a new thread :smile:: Can anyone explain what should happen when you press the "Top off" button on the 2.5-Roadster screen? Back then our sales rep in Zurich told me that this would allow to charge the...

    My 3-day Old Roadster Towed Back to Store

    Have had the issue for the first time last night, after washing the car in about 2°C with the high pressure gun. Arriving at home in our underground parking (currently at roughly 10°C), there was Error #287, Powertrain Problem - Service Required. This morning, charging seems to go fine. I am...

    Cigarette Butt in Front Air Dam

    It happened to me several times, driving in dense traffic between Zurich and Bern in Switzerland. Apart from that awful stink of cold cigarette smoke, it only really bothered me the first time, because I thought that the possibly still hot cigarette could damage something. That wasn't the case...

    "Top off" function

    Does anyone know what exactly the "top off" option is for in the Roadster 2.5? Thanks, Thomas

    Roadster Energy Reporting and Efficiency

    I have had my roadster 2.5 for a bit more than 2 weeks now. Here's some data of my first longer return trip, which I intend to undertake every one to two weeks from now on (the data is read from the screens inside the car, i.e. not wall to wheel, since I have no metered outlets yet): total...
