    Same brick has both Vmin and Vmax, what is wrong?

    I charged a 1.5 roadster via the BMB-boards since it had a "Critical low brick voltage message" and I could not get the pin code alarm to turn off. After charging for some days, I reconnected the correct BMB boards. The car reported that the same brick, brick #93 got both Vmin: 1.19V and Vmax...

    Bricked Roadster - How to manually charge it to try to preserve cells?

    I am looking for a tecnichal description on how to manually charge a bricked Roadster without removing the battery from the car.

    Power limited - reason: 2.91 V brick limit?

    When the battery gets low on charge the Roadster gives a "Reduced power" notification. But recently I got reduced power without this warning. When this happened today, the battery charge was around 50 % (but the battery was -4 C cold, and -8 C ambient temperature). When I noticed this before...

    Brakes not working after braking hard, please help.

    I just washed my Roadster 2.0 and tried to brake hard afterwards to make sure the brake discs would not get rusty before parking the car. I could not activate the ABS so I braked very hard to try to activate, without success. But I managed to totally disable the braking function. I can now push...

    What powers Backup power supply (BPS)?

    When BPS is running, which bricks does it take its power from? I ask about a Roadster 2.0 that has a 12 volts battery, not a Roadster 1.5. I have problem with brick #28 never reaching the same voltage as the other bricks when the car is charged, even if the car is plugged in and has been...

    What would people pay for a Brabus modified Roadster?

    Thank you for the price estimates. What would it be for the earlier Roadsters, like VP? And what if the Roadster is modified, like BRABUS?

    ESS: Extremely Low. Begin Charging ASAP.

    This was the message I got on the display today, battery seems to be at 0 %. The strange thing is that two days ago after parking the car, I opened the trunk and removed the power plug that I assumed would completely shutdown the car, and then the battery was at around 24%. So the battery should...

    Hi, I got the error message Coolant System Problem Charging restricted to ID: 1465 I am not able to charge. I think it is related to the coolant pump. Can anyone help? I don't even know where the pump is located. I believe it is causing the constant noise from the back of the car, and...

    I'm interested. I can also sell or trade the MC240 charger with my UMC. My UMC was purchased in the US, the reason for swapping from UMC to MC240 is that the UMC does not work here in Norway and a MC240 works. Please PM me, thanks!

    Opening charge port - spring fell off

    I have a charge port that always has been hard to open. I had the car in for cleaning and the person cleaning found out he wanted to charge the car (I told him not to). He didn't know how to open the charge port so he used a tool to open it (I use my fingers). When I took over the car, the...

    Change from 110 volts to 220 volts

    I have a US Roadster that I'd like to modify so it becomes like the European Roadster in that way that it charges at 220-240 Volts when no pilot signal is present. Any idea how to modify the car to archive this (my warranty is void)? I'm using the MC240 charger for now since it gives the...

    That's what I got when I was going to drive the car today. The car has been sitting for about one week and it has been cold, around -10 C every day. The roads are salted here.

    Roadster JVC Stero memory lost when car is parked

    The JVC stereo in my 2.0 roadster needs a constant small power source to remember the settings (radio stations etc.). When I was experimenting with replacing the JVC with a newer unit, this voltage was lost and the unit now does not remember the settings. I still want to use my JVC and I need a...

    New "winter" fans, cigarette lighter 12 volts outlet never turns itself off

    A few months ago Tesla Motors serviced my car and replaced the two PEM and motor fans with their latest version more suited for winter climate. They have worked well so far, the sound is different, but I don't find it annoying. The only thing that I think changed after the last service is that...

    I got this message today (Data:0x08000000), but I started and drove the car afterwards without any problem, any idea what this is about? Before getting this, the car was charging and I took out the JVC sound system box and measured the current. The voltage to this device is lost when the car...

    Want to rent an "early" Model S for some months - well paid

    A 85 kWh battery and an early R-number car would be ideal, but other configurations are also of interest as long as it is an "early" delivery. I will pay a deposit equaling the cost of the car in addition to the cost of the rent and transportation. Offers for renting the car 6 months (possibly...

    Increase Range by reducing Tire Width

    I wonder if anyone here has tested the Roadster range using different wheels. From my experience, reducing the rear wheel width from 225/45R17 to 205/55R16 increases the range as much as 10-20 %. Of course it will depend on the type of tire as well, the 205/55R16-tires I tested were winter...
