The title says it all - looking to list my Thunder Grey Roadster Sport - It is loaded and has quite a few add ons: Premium Paint Premium interior with extensive leather Beautiful black alloy wheels Full Carbon Fiber accents, outside and inside. Double Din Radio with new Pioneer Wireless Apple...

Do you think this one will hit 200 days of construction? My guess is ‘yes’. :)

Lightning cable for full carplay, but it does support bluetooth for regular pioneer apps.

Originally (even before the Kenwood) I had a head unit with this issue. At the time, I cut the stalk and sanded it down to shorten it. It worked just fine, but of course I needed to modify the car to make it happen. That stalk piece is like $30 or so to replace btw.

Better? :)

I just had a Pioneer SPH-DA120 installed in my Roadster Sport, replacing an old Kenwood head unit. It really transformed the experience in my car - it feels much more like the Model S center pad, but in a Roadster form factor. People can hear me on calls much better with the mic from the Pioneer...

If anyone is interested in a gently used glass top, I'm selling mine for $2200 plus shipping.

I am so excited by this announcement (the 400 mile pack), both for the additional range and the support of the roadster. Hopefully we get more information on it soon.

Tried the Waco SC yesterday around 11:00 am - in less than an hour we were back up 289 mi range...awesome to have it working!

Has anyone tried the Waco SC yet? I've heard that it may already be open...

I jumped in today (called David to add my name to the list).

One month after purchasing the 3 year extended warranty, my emergency brake cable snapped...I feel good about the purchase.

@Bonnie1194 - will do. And, yes, it was a hassle. @stephenpace - Tesla is definitely looking into this (we weren't the only ones caught there); didn't want to assume this would be a problem for other brands, but it definitely is for Tesla. The remedy that the Model S has is shutting off the...

There is a bad public charger located on the second floor of the public Marriott Rivercenter garage. When you plug into it with a J1772 adapter, it will most likely short out the 12v battery and cause a shutdown of the main battery system. Further, because of the location, it may be difficult...

Just stopped by this morning with our roadster and S - very cool to have one of these in Austin!

Welcome to the club!

I'm sorry if this has been said already, but the iPhone app makes me really want to tie into the rear camera feed remotely...it is really great to have the additional utility and convenience that this app adds to the car.

On the Austin to Corpus trip, where did you charge in Corpus? We're looking to do a similar trip from Austin to Corpus and back... Thank you!

Hi Bonnie - Just wondering if you had heard anything new from Tesla. Just had my annual service and all is well, but it would be great to see what Tesla offers in this extended warranty.

I am not interested in speed improvements, but would gladly pay for a battery with twice the range for the Roadster, and I too, am looking forward to seeing what Tesla offers for an extended warranty.

A couple things: watch your energy monitor and keep comparing the projected to the ideal. It will give you a better idea of how your driving is affecting range. @dsm is correct - seat heaters use less power than heavy HVAC usage. Draft behind trucks if possible - you won't believe how...

Thanks @dsm363 - do you have an idea of the location?

Has anyone heard any updates on when this will open? I have heard through the grapevine End of November, then end of December, but haven't seen any developments...

By far, parking sensors are the biggest omission on the S, and my wife and I really do feel the need when pulling into parking lot spaces. I'm excited that Tesla is at least promising an implementation somewhere down the line.

Now that people are finally getting to do some realworld tests of the Supercharger network (waiting for them patiently down here in Texas), are you seeing any any negative effects on battery life?

For those using the Superchargers, have you seen any reduction in range?

Yep - I heard from the truck driver that one was headed to New Braunfels. Ours arrived yesterday - I'm guessing yours did too? And yes, the feeling while driving the car is surreal and really fun - what an amazing feat of engineering and magic. :) g

Called Geico a second time, and got a much better rate - they blew Progressive out of the galaxy. Roughly $250 for the S for six months. Definitely worth it to call the same company twice if you're not happy the first time.

Just wondering if anyone else in Texas is expecting delivery in the next day or so? We haven't heard from the truck yet...

Progressive just gave me a ridiculously high quote on Model S (even though they are great with a Roadster). Geico has said they won't insure either car in Texas, even though they do in California. Anybody have any good suggestions for an insurance carrier in Texas? Thank you!

Left California early Thursday morning (midnight actually)...getting harder and harder to sleep...

I'd be in to it as well. By then, we might have two Teslas to bring. :)

Thanks - this has been a huge frustration of mine since moving to Texas.

The only issue being that you have to know to look for the message when the key fails, which for me wasn't immediately obvious...mostly you're just thinking "why doesn't my key work - oh it's a problem with where I am in relation to the car."

Yep - I just had mine replaced as well - same key fob symptoms.

I'm with Jory and ViperDoc - don't need any more performance than I've got, but would love more range and supercharger capability. Looking forward to Model S in a couple months, but it isn't the same form factor as the Roadster. It would be nice to get to San Antonio and back, or to get to...

Congratulations on the new toy!

Thanks, Babylon - this is awesome. Now if Tesla would tell us when these are happening within the next two years, we'll be all set. There's still a gap to El Paso, but this will make travel to Houston, Dallas and Galveston. I also wonder if Tesla will also have Supercharger capability at...

My understanding is that the Westin Element has J1772 charging, but I have not personally confirmed this.

Wicked cool. Day One purchase!

Hmmm - that's entirely possible - there is no letter before my number...

Just got ours - P414! Now starts the battle between Green and Blue...

mfarendt - Sticker Stop on 620 near Cedar Park does a great job, and is really fast. They were able to find the lack of an emissions test for a Tesla Roadster in their computer and issue the two stickers. They didn't even charge me for the Emissions test, so I've got that $14 annually...

Thanks for the recommendation. dsm363. I just noticed a little knick in the star shield on my driver's mirror, and was researching where to fix it in the Austin area.

+1 - an Austin get together of Roadster owners would be great.

+1 on CHAdeMOing for my Roadster

Just passed my six month anniversary of a used Roadster in Austin. Loving every minute of it. Service has been great, and like the other posters, mostly for simple things, like a tire pressure monitor, sqeaks, A/C retrofit of cowl housing, etc. Just added HID headlights and sound dampening...

I really question evgonetwork's business model. The subscriptions are fairly steep, and are geared toward users in the metropolitan areas that they're serving. I spoke to them last week, and they are allegedly working on a plan for out of metro users who would want to pay as they go. I'm...

evgonetwork (evgonetwork.com) has committed pretty heavily to CHAdeMO chargers in the Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth areas of Texas. I would like to second the assertion that it would be foolish of Tesla not to support this standard on Model S, and hopefully for the Roadster as well. Because of...

As far as I can tell, this one didn't have a flux capacitor...:)
