    New "Universal Wall Connector" doesn't charge the Rivian.

    We have a Rivian in the family and ordered the new Universal Wall Connector when it was announced. We installed it today and the charging works excellent with any Tesla I plug in but it does not do anything with the Rivian. When using the integrated adapter, there is no audible click nor any...

    3.0 Batteries from 2016 experiencing issues.

    Hi all. I noticed my car was experiencing sluggish acceleration among other issues. Stubborn to charge even at 80 degrees. Nearly impossible to climb small hills without losing speed. Lengthy accelerations to the speed limit. After enough of this I shipped my car to Gruber and waited to hear...

    1086 "Charging Problem" error. Car stuck at 99% cooled. (R80)

    Hi all. Looking for advice from others who might have experienced this. This is my 3rd summer with the car and we've just had a week of 110+ degree weather with lows in the upper 80s. My roadster is obviously hot. It sits in a garage with no air conditioning. I noticed about 5 days ago the car...

    Has anybody installed roof racks on their Plaid/New LR?

    Hi all. Thinking about installing roof racks on my car but reading horror stories about the glass roof cracking when you attempt to install. Anybody here try installing roof racks on their new S? Would love to see photos of your car and hear your story on the install process. Thank you!

    Do I risk bending my trunk panel if the right side won't latch?

    Hi all, looking for advice. I've scheduled Tesla Service for my trunk's passenger side latch. The tiniest little bump will make it fail and release that half of the trunk. I can even pull it up with my fingers. I just had my struts replaced with strong working struts so I bet this problem...

    How far should I cleanup my Roadster?

    Hi all. I still feel like a new owner even though it's already been ~2 years of ownership. These cars are fantastic. I want to ship my car to Carl Medlock and have him clean up the car but I'm wondering how far is too far. Some of these quirks might be just part of a hand-built car or better to...

    Odometer screen fades in sunlight

    Hi all, just wondering if this is normal. Approaching year 1 of ownership with this amazing car and I'm finding that if left in sunlight, the odometer display will fade. It can get bad enough that you can't read any numbers. I'm sensing this is normal for this display tech but wasn't too sure...

    Is it still possible to add a Roadster to your Tesla Account?

    Hi everyone! I did some searching around and everything I'm finding is from years ago. I've tried using the form in my account settings and I'm just met with an error by the time I reach the end. I'm guessing it's the Roadster VIN throwing it off. I know there's no real reason to have it in...

    I just bought the car of my dreams! A 2011 3.0 Roadster!

    I can't believe it. After completing the test drive on Tuesday, I felt like I was leaving a friend behind. I had to own it. I have a Model S I absolutely love but it's apples and oranges. You can't compare the two. These roadsters are gems. They feel like a retro racecar but with a drivetrain...

    I might be buying a Roadster this week. What do I need to know?

    I've been looking for a fun two seater sports car to drive and I'm thinking a Roadster would be the ultimate move. You get the instant power with a tiny low lotus based body. No turbo lag or oil changes. These are things I love with my Performance Model S. The problem is I don't even know what...

    Looking for a video of a Raven X on Supercharger V3.

    Hey everybody! Looking to upgrade to an X sometime soon. Are there any videos out there of a Raven X (or even S) charging at a V3 station in ideal conditions? This would include a low state of charge with the charger set in the navigation. I've done some searches both on Youtube and Google and...

    Cannot find a SILVER Model S with Xpel Stealth!

    Has anybody here done it, or know somebody who has? LikeTesla did it with their Model 3 and it looks great much like the Model 3 prototype with it's fancy silver. I want to see this done on a Model S as I'm thinking of doing it to my own car. Searching online keeps throwing me results of just...

    Supercharger - Tucson, AZ - E. Skyline Drive (La Encantada Mall)

    Ran to Apple tonight for some charging cables at La Encantada. While exiting the place through the back, we discovered some crates. I knew the crates looked familiar and had to turn around for a picture. They're located at the upper level behind Anthropologie with about a dozen spots gated off...

    I was never contacted by Tesla for an event reservation?

    Hey everybody. I tried the subreddit but didn't get much help there.. I made a reservation for a Tesla event that's in town for the next 3 weeks. I signed up about 2 weeks ago, and the event starts tomorrow. I still haven't recieved a call back from Tesla but I did get an email confirming my...

    Who here has gone to an Electric Road Trip event hosted by Tesla?

    Hey everybody, I've got an opportunity to go to one of these events, it's only 15 minutes north. I've ordered a Model 3 and test driven, but my sister who has also ordered a Model 3 hasn't even been inside a Tesla yet. She's interested but we're not really sure what these road trip events...

    Will the showroom in Arizona allow me to reserve a Model 3?

    Arizona has a ban on direct sales. Will I be able to reserve a Model 3 on the 31st or do I need to travel out of state to reserve. I'm not going to risk ordering online a day later. I feel like demand will be insane, and their website won't hold up well either.
