Tesla increases price of classic Roadster 3.0 battery upgrade Drive Tesla cites an internal notice sent to staff. Increase from orig $29k to $40k.

As we've seen, Tesla has been consolidating a bit on the service centers handling Roadsters. Thought we could use a thread to post/update the current state of local Roadster service nearby each of us. My location: Mercer County, NJ. Current service location: Devon PA, about 52 miles away...

While checking the update for Model 3 content, noticed only the car cover and hardtop bag for Roadster now. No headlights, wheels, 3.0 battery upgrade, carbon fiber bits, etc...:eek: Let's hope this is temporary as they update the site. Otherwise the Roadster appears prominently listed in the...

Essentially background plus test drive - not much new for regulars here on TMC, but a good short intro for new folks: Tesla Roadster 3.0: the electric car that sparked a revolution, revisited Also nice to see some positive attention for the Roadster generally as a piece of automotive history.:D

Going into MyTesla today, saw the following note related to Tesla update today of supercharging and referral program. Background: I am 2nd owner on a Roadster. I have not owned S or X before. I have a Model 3 reservation. It's good to know that I can get unlimited supercharging on a future...

Not sure if this has been posted already... stumbled on it via Google: http://my.teslamotors.com/roadster/specs When the new Tesla site was rolled out, it was clear it didn't have a Roadster link on the bottom anymore. Although this is on my.teslamotors.com, I was not logged in when looking...

Just caught this in the Model S design studio when looking at the impact of "D"... good to see they are using that version of idealized miles when EPA results are not yet available. (Looks fair or even slightly conservative on the old range vs. speed curve for Model S 85). Now as much as I'd...

We've had other poll questions on timing and cost - this one asks what Tesla will provide for a base/unextended warranty on the ~400 mile battery pack upgrade. (I know we've had other threads with broader warranty debates - let's try to keep this thread to what we think Tesla will do on the...

We have a poll question already about timing for the announced Roadster pack upgrade. This question looks at cost. To keep it simple, "straight upgrade" means choosing to swap out an older pack that is otherwise in good condition (i.e., "normal" wear & tear level of degradation for its...

Ok, so there's supposed to be a ~400 mile Roadster pack upgrade in the works. When do you think it will be offered to owners? Have tried to show a wide range of optimism/pessimism in the answers. Thanks in advance to all for voting.

This is a hypothetical menu of Roadster battery pack upgrades - please choose which would best meet your needs from the list above. Notes: HANDLING: reduces weight the most with new cells, down to original 56 kwh. RANGE: max range using same count of newer cells, with minor increase in...

There's been a lot of interest in the idea of a Roadster pack upgrade. This question gauges the nature of interest using a hypothetical 80 kwh pack (e.g., same design, new cells, 276 miles std / 350 range mode). Please choose the best response for your situation from the options above, and...

From Elon's comments at TESLive and Twitter: "We are going to do something special for Roadster owners next year. I can’t say what that is, but I can say that it will be pretty cool." As we enter 2014, what do you think it is? EDIT: Please vote from the options above - thanks to all for...

Coverage of George Clooney's response to offhand query on Tesla Roadster (tidbit from new Esquire article): Here’s the exchange (asterisks added by IBTimes): “Hey, where’s the Tesla?” I [Junod]said when I was leaving his house. I was just giving him sh**; I didn’t know if he had a Tesla or...

Apologies if this is an old idea... didn't spot it in a quick search. Imagine a new perk for the Tesla ownership experience - potential access to the Tesla driving experience anywhere there is a service center / loaner available (for appropriate rental fee, of course, in this case). Need...

saw one in spring street garage a few hours ago - #527 i think. first time seeing electric blue in person, but looked very cool even in the dim lighting. anyone wanna own up? :smile:

With very limited charging options in the local area (especially for Roadsters) I am looking at putting an HPC out there. I have a Tesla-branded Clipper Creek TS-70 from my roadster purchase that I am looking to install in a public spot but have a couple of questions. First, it looks like it...

This center is now open based on Tesla's website - definitely a big step for PA owners and many in central NJ, as this replaces a trek to Queens or Ranger visit.:biggrin: Location 2495 Boulevard of the Generals Building C Norristown PA 19403 Map and driving directions...

while heading home and plugging in (115V 15A in not-freezing but cold garage) noticed a small squeaking noise that sounds almost like a steady cricket:confused: - this is in tandem with the normal hum & whirr as coolant circulates through the battery. may have noticed at the last stoplight by...
