    Heater and Glove Box Issues

    My Roadster (#835, 2010 2.0) had the heater stop working and I can no longer open the glove box. It seems to be a fuse problem or something else that sort isn't working properly. I searched and didn't see another thread on this. Any ideas or suggestions? The car works fine otherwise.

    Looking for Roadster 2.5 Glacier Blue, Twilight Blue, Orange, Gray (So Cal)

    My wife got a new job 7 months ago and is fed up with traffic and commuting early to avoid it. We looked at Model Ss, but it is too big. She is a woman who likes cars, so driving a spiritless vehicle is not an option. As a result, we are about to become a 2-Roadster family. We want a 2.5 in...

    Should the Gen 3 to be a smaller version of the Model S but otherwise identical?

    In light of Elon's comments that the Gen 3 is going to be similar to the Model S, only 10% smaller, do you think the Model S exterior is otherwise perfect as is for Gen 3 purposes, or would you prefer that it be more sporty/aggressive, or less sporty/aggressive?

    Wrap gone wild

    Spotted (small pun intended) this Ferrari 458 driving toward LAX. How can you do that to such a beautiful car!? I realize you are trying to advertise your business, but I really don't see how this makes anyone say they want that, or anything like it, done to their car.
