It has been almost a year since I fabricated my first prototype hardtop and posted about it. I haven't posted much about it since, but it has been an almost nonstop effort to get from a prototype to a production grade top. Getting a repeatable process down took many hours of work and thousands...

I've been wanting clear carbon fiber hardtops for both of my Roadsters for a while, and always missed out when one became available for sale. So the ultimate solution was to make my own. I've lost track of how many hours went into making the molds and multiple attempts at fabricating each...

Anyone have any good pics of this rare EU Signature 250 color? I'm a little obsessed with the non-standard colors and this one is a bit of a unicorn. @TEG, @DeedWest? Mega bonus points for Aegean Blue :)

Up for sale is my 2008 Tesla Roadster (VIN #113). I took ownership in April 2016 and it has been my daily driver since then. Mileage currently sits at ~47,000 miles and will increase as I continue driving it. It has been a solid car and has cost less to maintain than my Model S. I would love to...

Installed on my car one year ago and have used it to transport my bike a handful of times. No issues. Going a different direction and would like to open up the space for possible JdeMo kit in the future. Looking for $250 + shipping or picked up in Houston, TX. DM if interested. Thanks!

I just returned from an eventful month away from home (and Roadster) on the other side of the country, and am reviewing footage from a camera I set up to monitor the VDS. The car was left on June 29th plugged into its 120V connector on "storage mode". Ideal range was 175 miles. Just 21 days...

Still alive, courtesy of the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20070819071723/http://www.teslamotors.com:80/buy/buyPage1.php As a non-original owner, my respect for the original buyers just went up! Today in Model 3 land, people complain about giving Tesla an interest-free $1,000 loan.

Drove the Roadster through some unusually heavy rain this morning. Got to the office, parked, and went about my day. When leaving for lunch later, I noticed that the friction brakes were doing almost nothing. The brake pedal was stiff, just as it is when the car is off. Managed to drive 80 more...

Which bit does it take to remove the lug bolts on a 1.5? I was just at the parts store trying every triple square bit they had, and no success. An M14 came closest to fitting.

Up for sale is my 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV with just over 11K miles, located in Houston, TX. 2LT trim level with DCFC port (used only once). I am the first registered owner (was previously a GM training vehicle, for its first 80 miles). This is a fun electric commuter than can go over 100 miles...

Just wondering if anyone has attempted aligning the trunk lid and could share some tricks? Mine has been through some stuff this month and is noticeably off on the driver's side. Began with the SC replacing the trunk latches after they got stuck and didn't align it properly. Then I was...

Had a close call at this intersection today. This Prius had been sitting still for several seconds despite the light being green. Knowing it's a short light, I was ready to get into the right lane and fly across the intersection to get through it. Luckily, I leaned over to look to the right of...

I've had my 1.5 for a few months now, and just today accidentally discovered "Performance" when tapping the battery on the VDS. I was almost home and only had 35 miles of range left so didn't want to push it. Before I allow myself to get all excited, does this actually do anything noteworthy...

After plugging in, the car makes a loud pulsing sound from the front for about 1 minute. Is this normal?

Hello, long-time forum lurker and now owner here. As of last weekend, Roadster 113 lives under my roof in Houston. :cool: Big thanks to this forum for the knowledge and resources available which helped me make an informed purchase. Looking forward to many good years with this amazing machine...

Used Tesla Roadster For Sale - CarGurus Tesla: Roadster Is a VP car just like any other production Roadster? The eBay listing states 2-speed transmission and a 0-60 time of 5.0 seconds. Wondering if one should have any special concerns if seriously considering this car.
