    replace key and fob

    I have for my 1.5 a spare key from my old key set. I got a new receiver and 2 new keys from tesla after a mishap at the SC with a key breaking while in the shop. All good only lost on of the keys now and thought of learning the old key to the new receiver. Tried to learn the key as described in...

    Nitron Street series shocks

    Don't know if you replace the front, as I just got the original Bilstein service and not replace, the rears are straight forward unbolting old and bold in the new.

    Nitron Street series shocks

    I got my rear shocks replaced last winter after one of the rear shocks snapped of somehow. :confused: After ordering a new replacement demper for the rear planning to get them both reworked to get them to match it turned out to be difficult. Bilstein SC needed special tooling for the rear shocks...

    Completed my double din conversion and Pioneer 8100NEX installation!

    In Europe everything was still available and they put the parts in in combination with work needed to be done on the dash.

    Completed my double din conversion and Pioneer 8100NEX installation!

    189 LOL the car I did not end up back then in 11/2010 (I did like the 2 tone brown/beige interior color). 236 the car I did get, I got the conversion done a few weeks ago at TS Amsterdam as well. :) Picking a radio for it is more of a thing now. Do I go "ok" chinees like joying or alike, or is...

    #114 for sale for cheap on eBay (located in UK)

    The 1.5 don't accept 220v charging from the standard US cable like the later 2.x can be set up for. In the beginning just to get my paper press to charge I bought a 220-110 inverter to get to it accept some juice to maintain it. Less efficient but at least I got it to eat with the standart...

    #114 for sale for cheap on eBay (located in UK)

    Yes he is maybe a bit odd, Barry is a great EV lover. A few years back I spoke a few times with him and he was all exited about his car and especial his RAV4EV. He imported his tesla and got it all converted for GB by tesla he said. It got new head lights and a few other bytes and bits to get it...

    Roadster 3.0

    Yes sure only in return there was also a marked for 2.25 back in the days. Still funny that we don't know what the changes are going to be. Could be that there are mainly improvements to the underbody to improve the airflow underneath and wheel wells etc and still everybody says lager pack. When...

    EU brake light vs US

    Back in the day when I just got my tesla I asked in holland if the could switch them of when regen would kick in at my freshly imported 1.5. They told me sure we can do that, we can toggle it in the software settings in the computer and upload it to the car. Turend out the could not do it with...

    Roadster Seat Removal - Has anyone ever done this?

    Did it before and yes first the drivers seat and then the rest including the break gear etc. Front right passengers seat bold it the hardest. Even the Tesla sc ripped the mf fabric when they took them out of the original car before I bought them. What is so special about the new carbon fiber...

    #34 Salvage auction

    And that is just the case. There is no regular "European" software that tesla is giving out to a 1.5 owner here. A few of the options that you can chose, for instance break lights when regen slows down the car and TPMS yes or no, are selectable by a tesla mechanic only can not be saved with the...

    Main Fuse

    They told me to take it out to disconnect the pack. Think it is more or less the control power from the pack and that pack has it own relay that shuts off inside.

    Main Fuse

    I think he took out the "main shutter plug" It is on the left side of the battery pack and can be taken out to disconnect the power from the battery pack.
