Wow. Love this news!

Thank you. I would be concerned about the carbon fiber breaking, since this clearly is a weak spot in the car. Is that not an issue? I would very much prefer it if this part had some flex - eg a hard rubber material or something. I really don't understand why this is no more sturdy (or why the...

Confirming that my bracket broke clean off. Let's see how much Tesla wants for it. It should actually be possible to also fix this with any piece of aluminum ...

I believe I have this issue. The bracket on mine looks like it broke. I will take the spoiler off tomorrow to look. Any recommendations on where this part can be ordered? Tesla? Carl? Given road conditions in LA (a ****ing nightmare) it would be nice if this wasn't metal ... so that it does...

Contact Tesla and get on the waitlist. That is the only option.

I sent you an email Carl. You can also DM me on here if you don't receive the email.

Tesla Roadster Tail Light Housing $350 for the pair.

At this point, I need two tires replaced, so probably better to just go somewhere.

Thank you. Very helpful.

Any recommendations for a good shop in Los Angeles?

Any recommendations for a place that can do new tires in LA? I once had a nail in a tire and most places did not know how to jack the Roadster, so it was a daunting experience. Any recommendations?

I have a key for a 1.5 key but no scanner. Happy to meet if someone has one.

You can also 3D print those for (almost) free, though they will be made of plastic.

Looks like I may be stuck with sawing out a bigger opening in the carbon fiber assembly: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/roadster-taillight-housings.280183/#post-7060491

I am replacing my plastic taillight assemblies with carbon fiber parts. I got everything put together BUT the lock cylinder. I was able to force it out of the hold taillight assembly with some force, but I am afraid of damaging the new carbon fiber taillights if I do the same. Any idea how those...

I have one OVMS which now works beautifully, including the location at home turning the cell modem off and on when entering/leaving the home location. I have another OVMS module which is giving me nothing but trouble, including the local website interface being unresponsive. I did notice that I...

I want to transport bikes.

That would be great. Especially if you could take measurements.

Or if someone knows a place in Los Angeles that could make a custom one.

I am in the process of doing the same. I installed a Joyingauto Headunit which is awesome. You probably need to remove the entire dash area - potentially twice, since you may need to figure out wiring, then buy the relevant ISO part, then install the new headunit. At that point it is easy to...

etrailer.com just referred me to Torklift. I really need someone that made them and is willing to make more. Torklift and Uhaul no longer have the measurements and would need a car to make a new batch. Curt never responded. That only leaves the couple of custom ones that were made if anyone has...

None of these have it.

Thank you. So far, every place I have contacted that shows them as in stock is actually out of stock.

I guess I missed the Tow Hitch that recently showed up for sale. I have been desperately trying to find a tow hitch to buy or find a place that can make a tow hitch for our Roadsters in LA. I even ended up getting two tow hitches from Uhaul because they showed it for sale but obviously sent the...

Is there a resource to show what language the OVMS uses or a repository of scripts?

Maybe try the service disconnect? First in the VMS (make sure the car is open and unlocked - i usually have the roof off when doing any work) and then by unplugging the big cable (someone more qualified should describe the proper procedure, you can maybe find a proper description how to do it)

Sent you a PM. I have bad cell phone reception at my home. Is there any way to disable the cell modem when home and enable it when leaving home?

What do the seat covers look like? Are there any photos?

Is there any way to change the config so the device only updates GPS location every couple of minutes - and maybe other info once or twice per day? PS: The modem seems to also always stay off upon some reboot, despite the checkbox in settings saying otherwise.

Thank you. I use Server v2. I just turned off TLS. The rest is default, though I did also change the power management settings for the model to off after 1 hour (I want it primarily as a theft tracker) Where do I find the 'module summary'? Any way to force the modem off when Wifi is available...

OK. It actually seems to be going up. I did NOT check the OVMS app at all but I used 10MB June 4 - June 13.

My data usage is pretty high: 3MB/week. What settings are people using to have lower usage?

Weird. Showed once and then never again. Maybe it was an error during charging. We sometimes have mini power outages.

DM sent.

Thank you though that does not sound good.

Saw this error message this morning. Any idea what it is for. I could not find any information on it.

240V Mobile Connector - see photos $999

Thank you! Is that booster any good? Trying to weigh replacing the radio antenna with something new - or replacing the cables that go to this box.

Got a new project fixing some stuff on a second Roadster with lots of cable issues in the dash area: 0. If anyone has a wiring diagram, I would love that. The service manual seems to assume that wires require no servicing. (Ha!) 1. Homelink cable: Does anyone know where the homelink cable goes...

You can order the arm from them. It's actually cheaper than buying the Lotus arm. Just happened to mine a few months ago. I removed the arm in the meantime. Keep all the parts!! Especially the little plastic bit that connects the blade and the arm. The new arm will come without that! I also...

I actually leave mine on ALL THE TIME. Makes you more visible and these cars are so small/easy to miss ... it is much better to do anything you can to increase visibility.

Any ideas how many are left and which colors?

I am curious if anyone has considered any NON-Tesla Roadster options for the battery and the PEM. Gruber and some others are obviously doing a great job refurbishing and repairing the PEM and the battery but it probably won't be a long-term solution, given the closed source nature of the...

I tried it but it did not work. Not sure why not. The manual is pretty clear that it should work but my car had extensive changes to the wiring made (very different stereo setup), so I am wondering if the wire got clipped.

Has anyone successfully programmed a new key remote with the method mentioned in the manual?

Any US recommendations for the cleaning product? The 3M Rosa stuff seems to be a EU product ...

@Bunnak I may be interest in a set if you can get them made for a decent price.

I switched my (after market) radio for a more modern, android-based radio. (Best thing I ever did) My recommendation would be to look up the wiring/pin layout based on an installation manual for the old radio ... and then matching it to the new radio. In my case, I just got a bunch of wire...

That is a rip off. You can 3d print these for free!!! Contact me if you want some, I may be willing to make them for cost.

So I tried to get my 1.5 PEM off today, since my PEM has been overheating since I had it in for annual service with Javier. So much for letting a "pro" do it. I was progressing nicely until I got to the 13mm bolts that hold the PEM to the batter (one by the pump reservoir and one on the other...
