I really appreciate this tidbit as it aligned with my thinking as well. I have State Farm for insurance and my agent told me to ensure I have a recent appraisal to ensure I get this value if something were to happen to my roadster. Does anyone have recommendations on how they've gotten this kind...

The only feedback I've received so far is people picking at me that my my video "isn't what I'm describing" (which I never said it was) and that it wasn't terrifying enough. The last thing I want to do is recreate the video with oncoming traffic. It's not safe. If you don't believe it was...

Was just trying to keep the video as short as possible. The next bypass is literally starting again at the very end of the video. Didn't want anyone getting sick watching it yo-yo. (I joke.) I would estimate the car was only a foot over the double yellow lines. I don't mind it getting close...

Yes. The car isn't even hesitating. It immediately jerks to the right. I would have thought the software would give it a second or two before making that maneuver. It's like it is ignoring the double yellow lines and is following the single white line on the right side of the road. I have...

I probably did a poor job of explaining it. I don't have a video where there are oncoming cars. But, if you watch the video again - there are two bypass lanes. Both are very short and in sequence. The car immediately jumps into the bypass lane, come back out, crosses the double yellow lines...

I was waiting for the highway / city stack merge (FSD 11) in hopes that it would fix a major issue for me since the inception of FSD beta: Bypass Lanes. In Minnesota, our two lane highways quite often have bypass lanes and they are marked with white signs that say "BYPASS LANE". The car...

100% agree. I keep seeing tweets of "major" improvements. But in my actual personal experience (Minnesota country and city driving) with each update, I feel like it has been a step forward and a step backward. As some of you joke about, my WAF (wife acceptance factor) hasn't improved much since...

I'm enjoying the beta, warts and all. If it wasn't for us early adopters who know how to safely use the system and provide constructive, meaningful feedback to the devs - the future would be a lot further out. I find it engaging and fulfilling to watch how the software is developing and...

I'm downloading 36.5.3 right now. Hang tight folks. I had 99 and got FSD for about two hours on Sunday before it was removed. What a fast turnaround!

Nothing showing up on TeslaFi. That's probably the best place to watch to see if updates are going out. The only thing happening today is another 86 downgrades from the failed 10.3.

Had 99 score and downloaded the beta this morning and drove around. It worked great for about 10 minutes and then the car went absolutely batshit. I pulled over, parked and started up again. Had to reenable beta to get to the car shop (picking up spark plugs for jet skis) and found that I could...

The value will continue to rise as the pool shrinks and more people own Teslas. I have a feeling that when the new Roadster comes out, there will be another bump in value as collectors will seek out the originals. Value was ~$60k five years ago. These days, $100-$130k depending on condition. I...

I have Roadster #633 and was poking around this site to learn more about the Gruber fire and then I see these pictures of trashed Roadsters and it makes me ill. I guess I mentally blocked out the fact that several Roadsters are going to perish - it's just math, but posting pictures is like...

Signing out was what did the trick to get the safety score to show up for me.

Wow. I accidentally clicked this and my throat fell to my stomach. This is horrifying! So glad I baby mine, but all it takes is one idiot to cause an accident.

My dealership apparently had a tech who was one of the "original" to work on Roadsters back in California and my repeated TPMS issues were solved, not by replacing the sensors, but moving the antenna. To be frank, they said it's a bit "touch and go" on getting the right location in the car and...

True! One of the questions I get a lot is, "How many roadsters are in Minnesota?" I have no clue. You? Can't be many.

For that situation, you were wise not to get a roadster. That's a long roundtrip, and while the roadster is comfortable, I'm not sure me and my passengers can tolerate that long of a drive in the roadster seats without a break. Of course, that is individual preference. A Model S is a beauty and...

Aw, thanks man. My two teenage boys absolutely love the car. It was a big surprise for them as I kept my search for the car quiet so that they wouldn't be disappointed if the process was protracted. I actually videotaped their reaction. I'll have to post it for you guys. Hilarious. The fusion...

@hcsharp Now that's funny!

Amazing. The thread with no purpose has the most entertainment value? What has happened to our world? :-)

An ASIC miner myself, I just hold the coins. My plan is that things will stabilize as soon as the ecosystem around bitcoins becomes very easy to engage. (Like ApplePay) It's too challenging for the average person to transact in Bitcoin, but I'm convinced we just need a few more years.

"All the torque went to his head" Love that! I'm still reeling from my torque.

Fly your freak flag high.

I think I'm going to be on this forum daily for the rest of my life. :-) Hello from Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota. The land of...not many roadsters. No way am I driving this in the winter. One snowfall and no one would see me over the snow drifts.

Twelve posts? How am I going to create twelve posts of something interesting. I kid. Oh, I just did buy a roadster. I'll post the picture in my avatar. Oh, I can't do that yet.

SC in Minnesota often does not have loaners available. It's a timing thing. They are polite and helpful and recommend weeks to bring my car in for service to get a loaner. They don't specify the type of loaner, but as long as they take care of roadster, I'm fine. Just the fact that they have a...

I will have to say, it is very disconcerting for passengers when you pull into a parking spot and they are looking up into a truck's wheel well. They give me a look like, "Bro!"

Just bought my Tesla Roadster last month. 2010 Fusion Red #633, 7k miles. I had been looking to purchase a new one but the markets crashed in 2007 and I put the dream away. (Never took down the computer desktop picture.) I ended up meeting a very kind gentleman who babied his car and was in...

I'm out there every summer for my family OBX trip and sometimes fly into that airport. :-) I'll send you a private message when I return from my business trip tonight to start a conversation. Seems like most roadsters are available are in TX or CA so I wrapping up the details to a trip to Dallas...

I might be interested, but I'm looking at two other roadsters right now that look like pretty good deals until I see the cars in person. I'm thinking of making a round of trips to see the cars. May I ask where you are located? (Just the state is enough...)

Ok, thanks guys.

I'm in the market to purchase a roadster just like this. Is there a specific resource you roadster fanatics would suggest I use to evaluate this particular car model / year? My google-fu is failing me. ;-)
