I wound my windows down yesterday but only the drivers one came back up. Its making noises when I use the switch but the window is not moving. Suspect the cable has broken. Does anyone know if the mechanism is a Tesla part only or if its from a Lotus Elise or something else? Thanks in advance!

Help! My 2008 Roadster will not start. Unfortunately its stuck in a public car park and when I try to start I get the following errors: VMS : Not receiving BMB version number DMC FW : Lost VMS comms warning BMB No data fault can not start BMB : No data fault I doubt anyone with Tesla...

I am lucky enough to have a riverside holiday home on the Norfolk Broads (UK). My wife drives a Model S (85kWh) and I drive a Roadster 2.0 (53kWh) I also have an electric boat (20kWh). For charging at the moment we use an existing outdoor socket. It works OKish as we usually only have one...

Driving home today (2010 2.0) I got the following error DMC FW: ABS Error warning ID1103 Data 0x00000400 Now have no ABS, traction control or regen. I have turned the car off / on a few times and opened / closed the charge port 7 times (can not remember if that clears some codes on the...

Hi Guys - on a new PC and tried to download the log file viewer from TeslaFlux but Windows defender (Win10) says the download is infected with Trojan:Win32/Spursint.A Anyone else hit this issue - guess its probably a false warning but dont want to download / run the file in case the site has...

Hi All, I have a old 30A charger for my Roadster(240V mobile connector 30A capable on the box) which has a blue 32A commando plug and a lunchbox sized box in the middle for the earth leakage trip / circuit to generate the pilot signal. It seems to have gone wrong - the lights around the...

If I lift up the floor at the bottom of the trunk / boot to access the bit where the tool kit / tire foam etc is stored its always damp or wet. Anything I leave in the trunk gets damp / mouldy after a while. The seal around the edge of the top of the trunk looks OK so not really sure how...

In the "hidden" diagnostics menu there is an option to display vital statistics. One thing it displays is Ttrans (transmission temperature). On my roadster it always says -40C (I am in the UK so degrees C not F). Just wondering if this is normal - it was cold this morning but not -40C!

Hi All, Before hitting confirm I would love some feedback on my choices ideally from owners who have had the car for a while. I have had a Roadster for 3 years and plan to keep it, the Model S is going to be the family car. My current spec is below - the pricing is in UK pounds. 85 kWh...

Hi, Around this time of year I notice a real drop off in the performance of my Roadster and was wondering if others have seen the same. I am in the UK and the temperature most mornings is between 2C and 8C (36F to 46F). I tend to charge at work in range mode, then drive home about 25...

Is the Model S the iPhone of the motor industry? Tesla Model S: Child of the revolution | Classic Driver Magazine

Hi, Does anyone know if the connector type for the Model S in the UK has been confirmed yet. J1772 or something else? The reason I want to know now is that I am planning on taking advantage of one of the free home charger install offers going at the moment. I am keen to get a charger...

Hi, I read recently about a scheme to pay 75% of the cost of installing a charging point. BBC News - Electric car charging points in garages and driveways get 75% subsidy Has anyone done this or know how to apply?

Not sure if this post should go in the Tesla for sale section, but putting it here as I am not selling this car but just interested in the price as so few come up for sale in the UK Signature 250 with 10K miles and carbon hardtop - £80K Tesla Roadster European Signature Edition 2dr Auto...

Hi Guys, I mostly drive my Roadster for shorter trips driving it like a sports car and have not really tried to drive gently for long distances. I am trying to decide whether to use my Roadster on a longer trip on monday and would welcome any advice, especially about charge times as the...

Hi All, My insurance is coming up for renewal - is it really a year since I got the car? Last time there were very few UK insurers who had the Tesla on their databases. If you have insured a roadster in the UK, please could you let me know who you insured with? Many Thanks Alan

Hi All, Just thought I would mention that I am exhibiting my car at Supercar Sunday incorporating Superbikes tommorow. They have given me a dedicated position for my car near a 13A plug so I can top up. If any UK members are visiting the show let me know! Alan

Its rare to get a Roadster for sale in the UK so difficult to say if this is a fair price. 2008 Tesla Roadster #114 | eBay UK Might be a difficult sell as its left hand drive - one day the rest of the world is going to have to realise that they drive on the wrong side of the road...

Its comical really, a friend who lives nearby has an automatic gate and there is a small metal post sticking up that you have to drive over. My Lotus is too low to go over this so I park that on the street when visiting, but the Tesla has more ground clearance so I have got used to driving...

http://www.sinclairzx.com/spec-x-1.html Not planning to trade in the roadster yet.....

The UK government have announced the first 9 cars that will receive a £5K (about $8K) grant towards purchase. The list is odd as it contains hybrids and some EVs but not the Tesla Roadster. Details also of new public charging points announced. Mitsubishi i-MiEV: Jan 2011 Smart fortwo...

I guess most of us have a Tesla branded USB memory stick. These guys have taken it one step further http://www.flashrods.com/frs/Sport.html

Apologies if posted before, but came across this interesting 6 page article http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/09/ff_tesla/ Love the story about going to mexico with $20K in cash! Alan

Hi All, Been lurking here for a while, but as I now have a Signature 250 sitting in my drive I thought I had better register. A quick question - is it possible to display the actual tire (we spell it tyre over here) pressures. The monitor on my car shows a picture of the car but with no...
