I agree. I think one is better off listing a roadster on BoT where they get more love.

Somewhat of a iconic driveway shot? The very first Tesla model and the very last of the Corvette front engine models. The Vette is my daily drive and the Tesla is just a once in while driver.

Oops, that was a typo error and my bad. CAC is 139.03 and ranges varies between 168 and 172.

I am confused. How can your CAC show 112.7 when new the CAC was around 157 or so? My 2008 CAC shows 39.03, gets a standard charge range of 170 miles. The car and battery has 38K miles on it.

I did not make it as we were on vacation. I googled Tesla Service Center in Long Beach and it did not come up. Just showed Torrance and Buena Park locations. Do you know where in Long Beach it is located. The Tesla service center close to me in Torrance does not service the roadsters anymore.

Thanks all for the help. I will take the car in to an auto AC place and have them recharge it to 13 to 15 Bars. Again, thank you.

Hi X.l.r.8: I followed your instructions and they worked great. Here are two photos, first with AC OFF, second with AC ON after about two minutes of waiting. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Retiredeh, I charged with both 120 and 220. In both cases, the pump continued to run. That said, the pump is now thurning off as the ambient temperature as cooled down now that we are out of the heatwave we were having here last week.

Thank you X.l.r.8: for the above post. This morning, when I entered my garage, I was surprised to see the pump had turned off. That said, here in Californial we just have ended a ten day heatwave with very high temps uncommon for this coastal area where I reside. For over a week, the ambient...

Thank you ML for your interest and trouble shooting questions. I just tried to turn on the AC for the first time since I have owned the car. I have never needed AC before as I live near the beach and only drive the car once in a while and always with the top off. That said, I just tried the AC...

After driving and then when charging the battery, the cooling pump continues to run. When charging is on, I eventually get this screen message shown in photo. That said, the battery still charges up to 170 miles with a standard charge, but the pump does not turn itself off. Now I need to keep...

I though the blue one's interior looked somewhat tattered. The headliner was falling down and the driver seat looked worn and dirty. Just sayin.

After some front end damage, my wife had the body shop paint the the black nose cone on here 2015 S model.

Not Sure as insurance paid for it. The body shop did not charge extra for it as they had to mix new paint for the replaced bumper anyway. She did ask about replacing the front bumper with a new style one, but that would have turned out to be a can of worms as she would have to replace the front...

Yep, the guys that worked at the Tesla approved body shop were amazed at the difference and would recommend doing the same for future S owners with front end damage.

My wife's 2015 model S front bumper was damaged when someone backed into her. So when at the body shop, she asked them to also paint the front black pannel that looks more like an ICE car radiator grill which she did not care for. So the body shop matched the same red color to give the car's...

Nice! Sold for $123,560.

So two out of the eight listed are asking over one million dollars. One for $1.5M and one for $1.25M. Just can't help but wonder what these sellers are thinking? Perhap they are just Phishing for a chump? Used Tesla Listings - Find My Electric

I have never heard of the term, a "Rebuilt Title" before. Is that a soft way of saying it is a Salvage Title?

Looks like you got hit at Skypark and Crenshaw Blvd in Torrance.

Just posted my 2008 roadster on Facebook marketplace this morning. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/634125854489474 Edit: I have no idea why the link showed up in non English text as it is located in California.

Depending on condition, probably a minimum of 75,000 sterling pounds.

Very happy. In addition to the annual, I had them bleed the brakes and flush the the cooling system for the battery. (Tech said that it is recommended every two years). Also, car was ready on time and they also washed the car just prior to me picking up the car.

Just took my roadster in for its annual service at an independent Tesla service center, Executive MotorWerkz, located in Lawndale. CA. Since I will be putting it on the market after the new year, I wanted it to have a fresh annual for the new buyer. There were two other roadsters also there for...

Bad idea. The roaster is bascily a toy for the well heeled. Just saying.

I am putting my 2008 up for sale and thought I would preview it here before I list it on other websites. Vin# 466, Radiant Red, painted CF Hardtop with OEM storage bag, soft top brand new, never been installed. CF door thresholds, 240 & 120 volt charging cables, OEM factory cover, second owner...

Just wondering if anyone has an estimate for the total roadsters from 2008 to present are not longer on the road here in the USA. If known, how many roadsters that are still road worthy are left?

Bought 100 shares, prior to the stock split, at $199.05 in 2015 shorty after wife purchased an "S" model as we were very impressed with the car. When buying the stock, our financial advisor then stated that it would be a foolish buy. I then asked him if he had ever driven a Tesla? He said no...

Wow, quite a rally on Tesla Stock today.

How sad for the Gruber owners and Tesla Roadster community.

Excellent...thanks.

I am thinking of selling my 2008 roaster. My left knee is giving some problems and getting out of the driver's seat is taking way more effort than it use to. That said, it would still leave me with my daily driver C-7 Vette and my 88 Porsche Carrera so I would still have the enjoyment of owning...

Thank you ML Auto.

My roaster's battery cooling fluid reservoir is just barely above the minimum mark shown on the side of the reservoir. Can anyone advise the proper fluid I can purchase so I can top off the fluid to the proper level? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Since the pandemic, it has been said that used cars have gone up 30%. We all know that the roadster is a very specialty niche car, but can't help but wonder if this has also added to the increase of prices.

Wow...that is a good price at $45K.

My roadster, #466, has 39K on it also. Standard charge using the 120 volt yellow cord is 173 ideal range. Funny thing, when I charge with the 240 volt it drops to 170- 171 or so ideal range. That said, I have never used the extended range so I have no idea what it would measure at.

They call it, Resale Red" for a reason.:D

If it works out with my schedule, I would be interested too. Like Perter H, I am in Palos Verdes also.

Sorry to hear that. A lot of the stolen exotic cars hear in California end up in Mexico and then are redistributed world wide. I hope that does not happen to yours.

Great! You are within 30 minutes of my home. Do you do the annual service as they do at Testa service centers?

What part of the country is he located?

I understand I can not purchase a generic off the shelf car cover has they do not allow cooling when car is charging. Can anyone direct me to where I can purchase a car cover, mainly for indoor use, that is designed specifically to fit the roadster. Thanks.

This plane is a neighbor near my hanger roll. It is totally gorgeous. The owner keeps the aluminum skin polished like a mirror and still flies it weekly. I am trying to get the courage to ask him for ride but don't want to come off as being pushy. Here is another shot.

Roadster vs Mustang.

I am happy to hear your wife was not hurt. That said, when making a claim against the insurance, always remember that they are not your friend and will try to get out of it as cheaply as they can.. Hopefully they will replace your totaled car with an equivalent car at market value. Just sayin.

I sent you a PM.

You forgot to measure the most important thing," Fun Factor". Just sayin.

I also heard that they are moving the roadster service to Pomona. A bummer for me as I am only 15 minutes to the Torrance facility. Over the last three years, the Torrance service center is now become jammed for space. Living in the Palos Verdes area of the South Bay, it is definitely Tesla...
