Is it possible that this is NOT the leather seats, but the "seats in microfiber" (vegan) option Tesla offered in 2009 for the 2.0 ?

Sorry guys, as I am a roadster owner and not a model S reservation holder, my questions and my knowledge is roadster oriented. So I took a few ansers from JB as they were. But regarding to the question of Andrew B., I remember someone asking (may be it was Eberhard or another guy) the voltage...

Yes. In seperate talks, JB said they had to think of the whole world as their sales area. And from what I understood, in the US and in Japan 3phase is not common. My "simple" suggestion was to make the charger accept 3phase, and in those parts of the world where they might not have it, use...

I am with Andrew. Its a big problem in europe that its not allowed to activate brake lights by regen only. When I first got my car end of september 09, there was a very strong regen. I liked that, you could decrease speed say from 70km/h to 50km/h (speed inside towns) without using the brake...

well done, Scott, thank you. It worked for my 2010 EU signature. After download, Excel said "file could not be fully loaded", but that might be because it is more than 65k lines? Now I sit here with -a lot- of data. As I am not an Excel expert, I will have to find someone who will make "nice...

I am not the right guy to participate in this discussion, but on my long wait for the roadster, I have read somewhere that regen amount is limited to 80Amps per design, which was a "number" like 1C or 2C, dont remeber, I am not familiar with that numbers. In that context, it was said that the...

I did associate it with glutenfree ...

Andrew, if I have not mentioned before: 222 is a nice number :smile: At the store opening in munich, which was a while ago, I was told that they also started selling the -non- signature edition european cars (EUR 10k cheaper at that time). Its good to hear that they seem to be about...

James, nice to hear from you. Sorry to hear about that you have that / expect that low order volume for Euro-Spec RFMC and therefore declined the product. As in my case, as of being a (willing) customer having placed an oder, it would have been nice to know about that decision. Please note...

Andrew, congrats on your car. As for the RFMC (euro-spec), I am very worried. I am waiting now ONE YEAR for the device. My order number was #18 (1 to 17 manufactured my Martin Eberhard, #18 and up orders were transfered to James and his company). I had some email contact with James and one of...

I have to admit that I did not do a search now if this theme is already covered, but I got a Softtop from a totalled Opel Speedster, and to my surprise it fitted well on the Roadster. It is nearly exact the same, the Tesla softtop is on the back (direction rollbar) maybe about half an cm longer...

I was told from tesla at the purchasing process, that the area for the passenger airbag always remains uncovered, also at the executive leather option. Which looks wired, when you (would) order beige interior, and the large area of the passenger airbag remains black. But thats how it is...

dpeilow, my opinion ist the same. But maybe, as someone pointed out on the thread already, it is maybe the worst possible scenario if they could not find another solution at negotiations with lotus. I am absolutley no lotus expert, but from what I have read somewhere, elise/exige is one...

Sorry bolosky, I ment the home charging connector (up to 70A), not the homelink issue. This we dont have in the EU version, officially.

extra warranty no longer offered in the EU? My car was delivered in september. For whatever reason, the TM homepage section "about your car" still says "locked in for production ;-) Therefore, I can see how they change prices and options based on the configuration I have chosen. In the...

Scott, very interesting thing. sent you PM. I would like to send a 2010 european logfile, so that this part is also covered. Hope it does not matter, since the last firmware upgrade (tesla technicians came by), the car is in storage mode and did not move a mile. best Martin

I hope Ian Taras can give us a more detailed review wit detailed photos of the new great installation soon.

I am sorry that I do not participate more in the forum at the moment. Car was here, sun was shining, so I was more out there than in front of the computer. Then there was the opposite: Here at our company year-end business requires full attention. Therefore, car is in storage mode in the...

Alef, welcome! Nice to hear that you have your Roadster. Which VIN do you have, and how long was your wait? Which country are you in? As for the iPhone/iPod I cant say anything because I dont own them. But I am sure that you get a response soon. As for the USB stick: Its a crappy...

Well, todays "fast fotos" should be a little bit better, but still not optimal. Find two examples here: and the total photostream here: This weekend and FLP details - a set on Flickr malcolm, RGB, yes, this "airflow issue" is on discussion. At first, RGB I am sorry that we could not...

Malcolm, all so busy. No Photopossibility yesterday, some small today afternoon. (I am not happy with the Photos). Surely will do more, better ones, and also some specific work on the "specialities". hopefully next week, or the week after. (white is so difficult to photograph? in reality, it...

RGB, I am completely sorry to hear that. Hope that it is fixed soon. Please inform us (me) how Tesla repair service works, as we then have the experience how it will be when being outside the typical service area of munich.

Eric, no, black letters at the back are not really an official option. At first, I asked them not to glue the silver ones, and mail me the official tesla font that I can arrange for black (decal) letters for myself. They said "yes", but never mailed the font. At the end, instead of mailing the...

RGB, great that you have yours too! And even a few hours before mine :wink: What VIN are you now? About 20 seconds later after finishing the above post, a big truck could be seen when I looked out of the window, with the driver sitting on the wrong side, not knowing if he is right here, so...

EU Signature VIN #0025 delivered today

dpeilow, unfortunately not. It was sheduled for yesterday afternoon, and at 7pm I called Tesla. They told me something of an british truck, and british driving behavior :wink: The truck was in a traffic jam a few days ago, and so shedule did not work, the driver had to make a 48 hour brake by...

Well, I could tip the following in the scales: Softwear: even softer: (Tesla font ;-) Hardware: Sign: lets start with the car parts: Sector 111 micro mirror: Bosch ICON 424A windshield wipers: Everplate.com stainless steel licence plate holder for back...

No TDave, not possible in my opinion. A CONTINUOUS pace af 30 orders per week (= 125 per month!) is not there and might never have been there. I think it depends on a missinterpretion; surely they delivered 30 per week, maybe in a continous rate, over the last month(s). btw, sent you mail...

TEG, I can confirm different back-light units for US and EU-Spec cars. At munich, I saw one US car going backwards. The outer two small round lights were lightning white (on both sides), while he was going backwards. Then one EU-spec car was going backwards. Only the right outer small...

My Photos of the Tesla Munich Store Opening Event are online. Tesla Munich Store Opening - a set on Flickr More experienced persons might link to the real interesting pictures. I could not get my eyes (& camera) off from the white VIN #17, as this "black/white" is my color combination (when I...

Although I have not yet received my RFMC; I´d like to bring something in discussion about a (possible) option: * Problem: Whenever I see charging photos on the net, many peoply try to hide there MC240 or RFMC, mostly under the car / wheel somewhere. Why is this? I guess because a box with...

Yes, I will go.

James, thanks for the detailed infos! And who knows, when the manual for Roadster 2.0 is ready, maybe there is even a description of the adjustment process there ..:wink:

Adjustable Suspension ? As surely a lot of Sports are out there in the meantime, may I ask: What ist the experience with the adjustable Suspension of the sport? How is handling behavior different to the normal suspension of the "no-Sport"? Were you asked before delivery how they should...

I dont know about it, also asked Craig, but he also didnt know. He just thought it might be "more easy to hide or demonstrate" something in a Mini (put out the back seats, add some battery there) than in an other car. The controllers under the hood looked "cool", but from the data of the car...

RGB, did you have one of the unexpected, mystic, suddenly happening (or not) appearances (per mail, phone) of our Tesla Rep? :wink: The Tesla Motors Homepage (even in the owners forum) does not know the date. I got this information some time ago, but I was wondering as Chicago (some times...

great presentation! I did not know of the electromechanical interlock - so no "mobile connector" - no cable can be stolen!

Seems to be really bad with the US sales numbers in the past year. This is one reason I do not understand why the focused on on getting the EU cars out there much earlier. By law (low production vehicle exeption on some rules), it would have been possible starting with may. But they were simply...

I mailed to David Occhino, and got a fast and supportive answer. Here are his thoughts and an example of the word "electric", based on my question if this font is the "exact" Tesla font: Here is the example: Ive ordered the font. Its worth for me to support and to have it on hand. Who...

Jez, welcome. Thats GREAT! Did they include something like the MC240 with your car? Was the hardtop ready at delivery? Were other items missing they told you you will get later? (e.g. the manual?)

This is a Schell Easycount 3 electric meter: Manufacturer: Schell Count - Never trust a VDS :wink:

As I have read somewhere else: "TEG, the searcher, never sleeps." Great find. I will contact the guy to make sure that the font is nearly exactly the "Tesla font". When I get my roadster somewhere sometime, I want to add the word "electric" at the place where the Brabus Roadster has its...

I could add some photos of my power outlet on my flickr album: Flickr: teslatuning.com's Photostream

James, thanks for the information. I am sorry for the next question, but as non-american I am not so familiar with the iPods and their history. Arent there also different generations? Nano? Touch? Does someone know which model(s) available now will fit properly, at least in a mechanical...

As about 100 Roadster 2 are out already, may I ask if anyone can inform about the "dockingstation" in front of the the gear switching buttons. As I have seen on some events (e.g. the sport inroduction in london), there is a rubber protection at the bottom, and below there is a connector...

dpeilow, thanks for this find. Now we have the confirmation, that it IS (would be) possible to charge the roadster, even in continental DACH europe, with 70A (in the 16kVA case: 69,5A). The negative issue is the price; I have converted it and xe gave me 6.868 EUR for that value. Lets reduce...

raymond, more technically experienced people will hopefully answer your questions in a more detailed way. But look at the datasheet (wiring diagramm) of your mentioned device: http://en.noratel.ezpublish.no/content/download/4497/392228/file/2LT-23.pdf this is a "simple" voltage up/down...
