Hi Community! About 2.5 years ago, I had to sell my roadster #194 (glacier blue,) due to an unforeseen divorce. (She took me for alot, and I had to sell it to help buy the ho out.) I sold it to a model S owner in Texas, who wanted a roadster to go along with his S. It was a rough couple...

I am offering a newly designed TESLA decal set, for the Model S. I have taken measurements from an S, and designed the decal set specifically to fit the S. The decals are made of the highest quality vinyl. The kit includes: two "TESLA" cutout banners (for the sides; body color shows thru...

I'm going to have to sell my beloved 08 roadster #194, due to divorce. 11k miles. Garage kept. Glacier blue. Hardtop. Forged aluminum rims. nav. new tires. Needs nothing. Everything works exactly as it should. 180 miles on a standard charge. Both 240v 40 amp and 110v 15 amp cords...

For my 2008 roadster: My driver's side door sill panel has started to crack, due to my fat ass getting in and out. Has anyone replaced these with the CF pieces, and want to sell the stock non-CF panel? Also, on my 08, some of the rims came from the early factory misted in a light grey. My car...

Mine on my 08 Roadster is fine, but came from the factory in a lightly misted grey color, while the other 3 wheels are the pure aluminum color. So it does not match perfectly. Anyone got one with no damage? If not, I can still buy it new from Tesla I think. PM me! Thanks! Chris

2000 Citrus Honda Insight 5-speed 61/70+mpg, 80k miles, just replaced HV battery, with warranty! This is the highest mpg car, ever mass produced by any company, ever, worldwide! It is my 2000 Honda Insight 5-speed in the super rare citrus color. There were only 300 Insights made in this...

Anyone got a good used Tesla Roadster car cover? PM me! Thanks! Chris

Not in this situation, but just curious what the general consensus of worth would be, of a non-wrecked, no accident, bricked Roadster (1.5, 2.0 or 2.5.) Anyone know of any sales of such, as a measurement of value?

Hi fellow Tesla owners! I currently have 7 first gen honda insights I'll be selling shortly. These hybrids are the highest mpg cars made by any company in the world. Rated by the EPA at 61 city/70 hwy, these cars average (real world) 60 mpgs for the automatics, and 70+ mpgs for the...

WTB: Both Tesla products, hard top bag and car cover for 08 Roadster. Got one? Or both? PM me!! Thanks! Chris

I know this is more of an accountant question, but I'm just throwing it out there in case anyone has already been through this.....Does anyone know if there is any eligibility for a tax credit (now that it's tax time,) if I've bought a used EV (roadster) in this past calendar year? I know there...

I need a second key (I only have one.) There are no Tesla dealers anywhere around me (about an 8 hour drive east or west.) Can a Tesla dealer program a key to my car, without the car being there? (Then send it to me to be cut.) I'm assuming they are all on the same frequency; they just need...

Long story short, I got my roadster from a different source than the original owner. I tracked down the original owner, who still had the original matching colored hard top. I purchased it from him; very nice. Unfortunately, the inside header panel is missing, and according to the owner's...

So when you're roadster goes in for it's scheduled maintenance, I'm certain they check the rear toe links and retorque them, as they loosen up quite a bit (on the frame end) and cause play in the rear toe. What else in the rear end tends to loosen up from normal use? I'm asking because I have...

I am offering the full TESLA decal set, in any color, for our roadsters. The decals are made of the highest quality vinyl. The kit includes: two "TESLA" cutout banners (for the sides; body color shows thru cutouts) two "T" logos (for the front fenders,) a proper squeegee for application, and...

At the end of this week, I'll be replacing my front bumper cover with a new, freshly painted one. From those who've done a swap, is there anything special I need to know or look for (hidden bolts, airbags sensors, etc?) Any pointers? I'm thinking it'll be pretty straight forward, but...

I'm looking to buy a 40 amp UMC in good working order. PM me! Thanks! Chris

Does anyone have the Tesla alignment specifications for an 08 roadster, front and rear? (caster, camber, toe, etc.) This is my next step! Thanks guys!

So let me get this straight: The mc 240 charging cable charges at 30 amps, but only works with the 1.5 cars. The umc 240 charging cable charges at a higher 40 amp rate, and works with all versions (1.5, 2.0, and 2.5.) Am I correct on these details?

Hi! First off, what's the difference between software and firmware? How do I figure out what software (or firmware) my (recently purchased) used 08 roadster currently has in it? (Built 1/09.) What is the latest update for the PEM 185? And if mine is not the latest, is it possible to update...

Are there any other roadster owners in the Western NY area? Any meets this summer in the surrounding areas/states?

Just got an 08 roadster. It'll be a week or so before I get it on the road, so I can't really cycle it up and down yet (only up, by charging it.) It hadn't been charged in a long while, but was not totally dead. Using the 110 mobile connector (that's all I have right now,) it took a charge...

I've seen a few roadsters with a white vinyl graphics low on both sides of the car. Maybe about 4" tall. The go from the front of the rear quarter panel, across the door, and thru the back of the front fender (wheel opening to wheel opening.) Who makes these graphics?

Has anyone ever opened up a battery pack to work on it? From what I've read, the cells are in sheets, correct? If so, how many sheets, and how many cells in a sheet? What does a "brick" of cells refer to then? Any pics out there? Anyone work on a pack themselves? Having a lot of experience...

Width/wear/rain. I need to order 4 new tires for an 08 roadster, today. I know the a048's are softer than the ad07's, and grab better on dry roads. Not so good in the rain, right? Any one drive on them in the rain? If so, how bad are they? But I like the idea of having the wider 195's on...

Hi Guys! I'm going to Illinois next week to look at a roadster. The car currently shows 9 miles of usable range on the dash, and has no charging cables with it whatsoever. The seller agreed to let me plug it in to see if it charges, if I can bring the proper 110v cable. Is there anyone in...

Anyone know of anyone parting out a roadster? I could use some stock parts, and don't mind used parts! Thanks! Chris

Questions: Are the Tesla and elise rear upper and lower control arms, and toe link the exact same as the lotus elise's? Assuming so, what years were the same as the 2011 (how far back?) Are the front and rear aluminum belly pans an elise thing too (the exact same,) or are they tesla only...

Does anyone know who owns #194 (08 in glacier blue?) It's from Dallas, Texas. PM me, or have him PM me, please! Thanks guys!

Are roadster chassis parts (control arms, half shafts, etc.) identical to the lotus elise chassis parts? I'm assuming Lotus sends complete rolling chassis to Tesla, correct? Is there any link to a parts break down / parts pricing listing? Where to order such parts? Does anyone sell used...
