    Gruber fire victims thread

    We're not talking about State secrets here; there's just some stuff that is better being discussed in private (I.e. information about valuations, potential legal options, etc).

    Gruber fire victims thread

    Guys, I gotta say, I do not think it is a good idea to be airing some of this stuff publicly at this point. There will be a time for that once everyone is done with this process. In the meantime, I think we should be communicating privately about sensitive things like the insurance info. I have...

    Unfortunately, I suspected this from the beginning. @414RA you should receive an invite to our private conversation shortly.

    Gruber fire victims thread

    Greetings, Been a while since I posted here and this is obviously not the sort of post I ever wanted to have to see or make. 1157 was mine and unfortunately perished in the fire. As devastated as I am, I feel even worse for folks who've owned their cars longer like @donauker who shared the...

    Thanks, but would prefer someone in OC.

    Service in socal (orange county)

    I'm considering Gruber's PEM rebuild and was looking for a shop in OC that could remove my PEM and send it to Gruber for me. Does anybody know of a reputable shop that has roadster experience in OC? Thanks!

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    I just got my module from fasttech a week ago and I'm logging to an SD card, so I have followed your advice regarding the logging. I'll do more testing to see if the modification allows for further debugging info. I also updated to the latest edge firmware per your advice. I suppose you could...

    Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

    Mark, I'm trying to get my v3 module up and running but it's completely unstable and I'm hoping you can help. I started posting in this thread: Wifi Client Connection Issues | Open Vehicles I had hoped that adding my modem module would stabilize things, but it has not. My module seems to be...

    OVMS Module and Cooldown

    I was getting this error too. I ended up changing the settings via the command line: config set xtr cooldown 1 config set xtr cooldown.current 12 config set xtr cooldown.templimit 31 config set xtr cooldown.timelimit 60 Just go to "tools > shell" in the web interface of your module and enter...

    AM radio interference

    For what it's worth, earlier this year my brother and I were driving back to OC from Vegas in my Model S. We were trying to listen to an nfl playoff game and couldn't find an internet stream in the car. We eventually found an AM radio station broadcasting it but experienced the same...

    OVMS Module and Cooldown

    Well in theory, it could hurt if there's a designed airflow you're interfering with. For example, a 1U computer server is designed to bring fresh/cool air from the front of the chassis and exhaust it through the rear. Removing the lid of the chassis impairs the ability of the fans to pull in the...

    Thanks. Makes sense.

    OVMS Module and Cooldown

    Oh ok. I don't know why, but I was under the impression that putting it in range mode meant that it wouldn't start charging until the desired temperature was reached. That's a misunderstanding on my part. Issuing the "charge cooldown" command seemed to start a 10A charge on my vehicle, but I...

    OVMS Module and Cooldown

    Since this thread has been exhumed, I guess this is as good a place as any to ask about this feature. I'm trying to get cooldown working on a v3 module (2.5 Roadster). xtr (readable writeable) cooldown: 1 cooldown.current: 10 cooldown.templimit: 31 cooldown.timelimit: 60 When I execute...

    OVMS v3.1 install

    Have you tried reseating the modem module on the base board? That error certainly does sound like the base board is having trouble communicating with the modem module. I haven't actually laid hands on one of these yet. I should be heading over to Bunnak's place tonight and if so I can verify...

    OVMS v3.1 install

    Right on. If he hasn't gotten it working by Monday, just get it back from him if you're sick of waiting. Mine is in transit so I'll probably have it this week and have a chance to go through the install. If not, then helping to troubleshoot yours would familiarize myself with the process so I...

    OVMS v3.1 install

    Just saw this thread. Let me know if you're still having problems. I just ordered my hardware from fasttech so I've been reading up. I work in IT also and I'm sure I can help you get everything working if you're still stuck. I'm in OC too so you're not far away.

    Video about Gruber Motors

    Yeah the small scale seems to be the limiting factor to all things Roadster related. As a side note, does anyone know where the rumors about a new battery pack even started? I've googled it and can't find anything. Is it basically just word of mouth from service center employees?

    Video about Gruber Motors

    Without giving away too much, does one of those things rhyme with "battery upgrade"?

    Have you tried lowering the amperage on the car?

    Driver's seat rocking

    Well darn, that's not exactly the answer I was looking for. Sounds like the answer would be to replace the tracks but I'm guessing those are exceedingly hard to come by.

    Driver's seat rocking

    I was reading in another post in this forum that rocking seats are not completely uncommon in 2.x roadsters. The one thing I haven't read is if anyone was able to repair a seat. Is that a lost cause? Does anyone know the exact cause of the rocking? I'm not completely opposed to replacing the...

    New Owner Of Vin 1157. Need Somewhat Urgent Help With Charging.

    Oh man that's super cool of you. I'll definitely contact you if my tracking doesn't update soon. I'm in RSM so you're not far away at all. I think I remember reading one of your threads in the last week or two when I was doing my pre purchase research.... You're the guy who had his stolen off...

    New Owner Of Vin 1157. Need Somewhat Urgent Help With Charging.

    Greetings, I recently acquired VIN 1157. So far, I've only been able to drive it about 50 miles but I already absolutely love it. I have a potentially urgent situation with charging, however. I purchased a Can Sr adapter from the same dealership I purchased the vehicle. Unfortunately the...

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    DeedWest, I've got a deposit down on 1157 (coincidentally from the same dealership the guy you responded to got his from). Do you have any info on that vehicle? Apparently you're the VIN Oracle around here from what I've read. Thanks!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I imagine that's how it works most of the time. My frustration is that if they'd just generated the MVPA as soon as my trade was completed, I could've handled all of that stuff electronically before the vehicle was even put on a truck for delivery. I've been really impressed by how much of this...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My car is at the delivery center and I still haven't received my finalized MVPA yet. Is that normal? I traded a vehicle to them last weekend and I told my delivery specialist the reason I wanted to execute the trade early was so I could make sure I could remit payment and finalize financing. My...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    For me, I went to edit my order and when I save it, it asked me if I wanted to confirm now instead of waiting.
