I’m local in Yorba Linda and have the Visium top on now. Let me know if you want to meet up and you can take all the photos and measurements of the hardware you need to get a set fabricated domestically.

Count me in for two hats.

I was able to get the HomeLink on my 1.5 to pair with our original circa 1993 garage door opener and community gate with minimal issues. But when I upgraded the garage door opener last year I must have tried a dozen times to get it to pair with HomeLink but ultimately gave up and resigned to...

Congrats and welcome to the SoCal Roadster community! Great choice of color, BTW, though I may be a bit biased. :cool:

Carl, My Roadster developed a similar coolant leak about a year ago. Turned out to be a crack at the top of the ESS coolant tank. The SC did the repair and the cost of the part was $91.66 plus labor to install.

There was a time when Tesla offered several upgrades including sport suspension for installation at the SC. I had the adjustable sport suspension as well as level 1 & level 2 sound reduction insulation installed on my 1.5 Roadster around August 2011.

I’ve had a Visium top for a few years now and it is great. I have a similar gap in front but it’s pretty flush with the top of the windshield. I had a similar problem with one side being too high above the windshield and causing wind noise. I removed the Visium top and looked closely into the...

Congratulations on your beautiful Roadster! Count #309 from Yorba Linda in for a So Cal Roadster meet-up.

I’m interested.

Thank you so much for designing and producing these very cool stickers! Order has been placed via the website.

You’re right! I have to believe we have enough SoCal Roadsters to do our own Skittles Run (or at least a M&M’s Run)

Count me in!

Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to speak with the owner of this Roadster as it was parked in the lot and there was nobody else nearby.

Confirming my 1.5 Vess reads 0V as well with the key in the off position.

A rare sighting of an unicorn Model S P60D today.

I recently took my 1.5 in for its annual service and a TPMS sensor replacement at the Torrance SC (which specializes in Roadster service in So Cal). Dropped it off at 9:00am and got the call it was ready around 3:00pm. Five hours for an annual service is doable if the technicians have the...

#1152 spotted at Yorba Regional Park this morning.

For a period of time Tesla offered as an optional retrofit Stage 1 and Stage 2 noise reduction kits hardware and installation which upgraded the 1.5 Roadster sound deadening insulation to 2.5 standards. From my personal experience, it definitely had a positive effect in quieting down the cabin...

I have both the Visium and mesh tops and can confirm the Visium is significantly quieter at freeway speeds. The design of the mesh top results in a gap between the top of the side windows and the sides of mesh top which may contribute to the wind turbulence. I tend to alternate between those...

Besides the sad look of the saggy chin, the worst part of this broken undershield bracket is the fluttering of the front spoiler at speeds above 55 MPH. My attempt at temporary repair didn’t hold up for long. I can confirm that 2003473 is the correct part number when I had Tesla replace this...

Thanks Dave for the local installation referral. Count me in on one set of rotors and Bobcat 1521 pads.

I’ve been on the fence looking at these for a while but am looking for a good shop that I could trust to install these rotors and pads before I pull the trigger. Is there anybody from the first group buy located in the So Cal OC/LA area that can recommend a shop to do the installation?

#309 was originally delivered with all black sills but was retrofitted by Tesla with the black and silver insert sills by the previous owner in 2011 before I purchased it. I expect that's how the earlier VINs ended up with these door sills.

Count me in for signing that petition. I don't need or want the upgrade now, but at some point in the future I will. I'm OK if this also requires a deposit is necessary to encourage Tesla to dedicate the necessary resources if that ensures this upgrade project moves forward to include us 1.5...

The silence and lack of communication about what lies ahead for the 500 Roadsters excluded from this life-extending option is what I find unacceptable. Since announcing this battery upgrade and determining somewhere along the way it would only apply to 2.0 and up, did Tesla not think that the...

I'm in, snagged the last spot!

If there's still room for one more I'd like to join!

Sounds like a lot of fun getting other Roadsters together, I'd be up for a SoCal drive!

Welcome to the Roadster owners club, Josh! I've had mine for four years accumulating over 40K daily driver miles. You'll find the fun driving your Roadster never gets old. Great choice of color, too!

Just checked my 1.5 and it looks exactly the same.

Last month I had the folks at Al & Eds Autosound West Hollywood do the installation of the Alpine CarPlay ilx-007 along with adding a rear camera and speaker upgrade. The improvement over the stock single-din JVC is off the charts in terms of functionality and ease of use. To me it feels like...

If you wanted to consider sticking with the Toyo line I've had good experience with the Proxes T1 Sport. I've gone through a couple of sets on the rear with lots of freeway miles and the occasional So Cal rainstorm with no hydroplane events. I've also not experienced any traction control...

I went with both ESAs, 3 years each. These cars are high performance, low production volume, and can't be serviced by just anybody. I like the peace of mind.

Please add me to the list as well. The CAN J1772 adapter is great but it would be good to have the ability to use my wife's Model S HPWC to charge if my Roadster UMC fails.

eeenmachine: Your garage wasn't the problem as my new top came out of the shipping crate with the same disconnected seal on the driver's side only. I had some rubber adhesive handy so I reattached it and let it bond overnight. Washed the car the next day and no water leaks. It really is a...

Update: To my surprise the HOV stickers arrived in the mail today. Envelope was post marked August 16th. Don't know what caused the (extended) delay, but I'm glad they're here!

Not sure if it's a coincidence, but my check payable to the DMV cleared July 25th and still no stickers. I called the DMV Special Processing Unit (who were great) and was told the stickers were mailed out July 26th. I was also told I needed to wait 30 days after the date the original lost...

I received an email from David on June 3rd thanking me for my order with an attached invoice confirming payment had been made 06/03/2013.

Thank you Apoclyps for initiating and coordinating this first gathering of OC-area Tesla owners and soon to be owners. It was great to meet and share with many of the folks that make this community of enthusiasts so special. Thanks also to the Fashion Island Tesla team for graciously opening...

I talked with David this afternoon.

I'll make it a group buy of at least four. Count me as definitely in.

I spoke with the driver briefly afterwards. He is the owner of the Roadster and a Model S.

My warranty expires soon so this week I brought the Roadster in for service to fix a couple of minor issues and installation of the Stage 2 sound reduction kit. I had given a lot of thought about the two offered extended service agreements and their respective duration options. I look at...

Count me in as well!

Hi Art, glad to have another Roadster in the So Cal area! I had a similar problem a few weeks after I brought home my 1.5. After charging began it would stop a few minutes to a half hour later. The error message on the video screen said "Stopped Charging connect power cable" and the amber...

Agreed, I have noticed on the days I don't take the Roadster that I've lost about a mile or two of ideal range during the course of the day. The factors around my daily observations are fairly consistant day to day. The car begins charging at 1:00am, I head out for the day about the same...

I guess I've been lucky up to this point though I've been very careful with charging it in standard mode each night. I've only charged it once in range mode and never in performance mode. Each morning I check the ideal range and it's typically 186 or 187 miles. Tuesday morning it showed a...

My 1.5 Roadster just reached 15,000 miles yesterday. After last night's standard mode charge the ideal range showed 187 this morning. Over the past year and 9,500 miles that I've owned this car, the highest ideal range I recall seeing is 189 so there has been very little reduction in range...

Just received the new black anodized J-1772 adapter from hcsharp and it looks great. The picture doesn't do it justice. Also just picked up one of Eric's mesh tops, looks like I'm now set for summer road trips!:cool:
