I just spotted the new wheel options on Design Studio. Tesla is now offering two new 19" rims: Cyclone and Aerodynamic. I didn't spot them on shop.teslamotors.com - they only seem to be available via Design Studio when configuring a new Model S. Does anyone know if these wheels can be...

TM just posted the following picture on Facebook. Look at the roadsigns - these don't look like the ones in North America (should be yellow, not red/white). Wikipedia knows where to find that warning sign: So my guess ist that there is a Model S rolling around in Germany! This...

Tesla’s Ambitions Fueled by Customer Down Payments By PETER EAVIS After reading about Tesla Motors’ new electric sedan three years ago, Rob Stelling drove 100 miles to the carmaker’s showroom in Menlo Park, Calif., and put down $40,000 in cash to make an early reservation for the Model S...

:cool:

J.P. Morgan himself liked Nikola Tesla - until he discovered Tesla's free-energy plans. Let's see if history is repeating itself ;)

This one i pretty cool. I was driving home yesterday when suddenly the range dropped under 38km (20 miles) which means that power will be reduced ("Power Limit" appears in Dash). At the next red light i remembered that the manual says: "Move the key all the way forward to engage...

New Blog entry at TM: Model S: Designing the Perfect Endurance Athlete | Blog | Tesla Motors :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Looks like a to-good-to-be-true-offer. The ad isn't very precise. I guess it's a non-sport. No further details available. I guess one has to call the seller (Oklahoma City, OK). Mileage: 5,800 Miles...

Tesla Motors Reports First Quarter 2011 Results

Q: Does Regen work in reverse? A: Yes, it does. Had a good laugh this afternoon when trying to see if regen works in reverse. That's really cool :love::love:

Some asked where i got the "electric" sticker in Tesla Font on my Roadster. It custom made but I'll post the vector graphics files (both .eps and .svg in the zip file). Just bring the files to a local sticker store and have it your size ;)

Let us see your Peak Output Screens! Please add your type (sport/non-sport), model (1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 ), tire type and pressure. I'm curious to see the individual peaks of each Roadster. My first attempt: Non-Sport / 2.5 (2010) / Yoko Advan Ad07 / pressure according to manual...

Just got charging error 981 while trying to charge using the UMC with a 10A adapter (using a standard Swiss socket which are rated 230V/10A - 2.3kWh is better than nothing). I plugged the UMC to a socket which was on the end of my extension cord. Looks like the UMC checks if it detects a...

I wonder if there are any good after-market adjustable suspensions out there which will fit the Roadster. This might be an option for all non-sports buyers who don't want to spend the extra $$$ on the OEM adjustable suspension from Tesla. Prices for suspension kit including adjustable...

I think it's a bit over the top, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2vZaNXhQvk&feature=player_embedded

Tesla confirmed that they will most probably have one or two of the Alphas available for test drives here in Europe! That's great news for all reservation holders from Europe. I can't wait to actually see&feel the car once in a while....

Some nice shots of the interior of Model S here. Look what's hidden inside the center console (approx. at 1:05 min). The automatic-trunk-opener does sound a bit weird, no? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv0V6JTl3gE&feature=player_embedded

I recently stumbled over this: Infineon supplying power chips to Tesla What does this mean? Infineon was recently working on new "active charge balancing" electronis to get the max. charge into each cell of interconnected li-ion batteries (like in the Roadster & Model S). There are...

Does anyone has details on the pilot signal (the extra pin inside the charge connector) Tesla is using? The pilot signal tells the car how much amps it can draw from a power source. According to the specs the "Spare Connector" allows 15 Amps@120V in the US. My local Tesla dealer told me that...

Tesla Production Status Codes & Times (My Tesla) I bet a lot of people are checking the "My Tesla" regularly to see the production progress of their roadster. Here's a list of the Status codes use in order of their appearance (according to various threads): 0. Your Roadster is scheduled...

Today I tried to fit the boot-bag from boot-bag.com on the roadster. It fits quite nice. The trunk can still be opened cause all the mounting hooks could be attached to the trunk lid. Gives some extra space for the long weekend ;) I ordered the Boot-bag Elise, Vintage & Supercar - fitting...

Some infos about the ski rack from Tesla >> You may have noticed that the main image on www.teslamotors.com shows a Roadster fitted with a ski rack system. The system includes a luggage rack which grasps the Roadster’s rear decklid, and ski attachments. No drilling is required and installation...

We want to try and foil the rear spoiler to give some more accents to the roadster. Can anyone post how - if possible at all - to remove the rear spoiler. Is it just screwed on from left/right of the trunk? Thanks... Must be a way somehow...
