Does anyone know of where I can tap into a 12 volt source in the front of the Roadster? I'm considering adding a couple LED DRL, so I'm looking for a wire that would be energized when the ignition is on. Thanks, Henry

Hello fellow Roadster enthusiast. Just wondering if I can get some recommendations... looking to replace my wife's PHEV (Ford C-Max Energi) with a full EV. I'm looking to spend under $40k. So I was thinking of the following,.. - New Kia Niro - 2014/2015 Tesla Model S (around 50-60K miles) -...

FYI... I have been binging Modern Family recently and noticed on Season 1, Episode 20 there is an appearance of a blue Roadster. It apparently belongs to a wealthy character on the show that lives in Malibu. The driveway has a cool turntable in it to spin a car around so that you don't have...

I was wondering if it were possible to charge my 1.5 in standard mode, but then drive it in either performance or range mode. It would be nice being able to have the performance mode available, but not have to compromise the battery by charging it to full capacity. Also, I always leave it in...

Hey All, Unfortunately, I think I lost my tool pouch with the lug bolt adapter and screw driver. I do have the wheel lock key though. Stupidly, I think I left it on the back hatch and drove off. First off, does anyone have a spare pouch and tools? If not, where can I get just the lug bolt...

Hi All, Roadster owner here and first time venturing outside of that forum... Here's an article with some very promising data on our cars.. mostly yours. Enjoy. How do 300K-mile Teslas hold up? This EV fleet operator has some interesting data

because inevitably, it will end up under the seat and stuck there. Due to the Roadsters acceleration and floor design, loose keys, remotes, and even a registration sticker can/will get stuck under the seat (ask me how I know). The floor under the seat also has a lip that keeps everything...

Does anyone know if these are the same? I"m looking to get some precut tint for the glass, but no one has a template for our Roadsters. If the glass on the Elise is the same, then I can just order some for that. I've done tint before and for the Roadster the sides should be a snap...no...

And our Roadsters top the list. Hagerty Insurance has listed their take on future collectible electric vehicles. As some of you know, Hagerty is a very well respected source on collector cars. No surprise to me that the Roadster is there, but some of the more common ones seem like a bit of a...

Hi All, Can someone help me? I'm looking at putting new rear wheels on and moving the stock rears up front. What kind of TPMS sensors are used? Are they the type that are banded to the wheel barrel itself, or are they the kind that is a part of the valve stem? Would it be more cost...

Hi All, I did do a few searches but could not find... How do I reprogram the start time for charging my Roadster? Currently, it is programmed to start at 6pm, but I have a much better rate starting at 10pm. Thanks, Henry

When the heat is turned on for the HVAC system, where does it come from? Just wondering if heat comes from a heat exchanger scavenging heat from the battery/motor cooling system, or if it is electric resistance heaters. I would assume it would be more efficient (and save the battery for the...

Hi All, I'm a new owner and am learning about my Roadster. I have done quite a few searches, but please bear with me on some of my questions. I know it is common knowledge that these Roadsters understeer quite a bit. I'm looking to see what I can do to alleviate that as much as I can. I'm...

Hi All, I've only had my Roadster about a month now and I'm all ready thinking about "personalizing" it...I can never leave "well enough" alone. So in the interest of reducing the understeer and the lack of OEM sized rubber, I have been thinking about new/different wheels. As has been noted...

Hi All, I just replaced the head unit on my 1.5...the existing one was an Oxygen Audio that required an Iphone 4 that mounted onto the unit and operated it. Who has a 4 anymore? So, the replacement was straight forward, but I noticed that the tweeters did not work. There were no additional...

Hi All, Just registered. I'm looking forward to getting a Roadster soon. I'm actually conversing with a dealership that has a 2008 with 53K miles. He says that the current range on it is about 220 miles on a full charge. I know I should get a PPI, but what are your thoughts on the condition...
