That is a bummer, doesn't bode well from early Model S owers. Hopefully you can find a good alternative!

We just moved from Tucson this year to the Chicago area, had great service at the SC in Tucson, they actually have a qualified tech that was one of the orginal tech when Tesla started out. Had a tech come to our house to perform some warranty work on our Model Y and he looked at the Roadster...

With the help of Carl Medlock and Russell Fortune 673 is back and a live again. The past three weeks have really been stressful. Removing the VMS cables taking out the switch on the ESS and putting things back together, everything is GOOD again.

No I am unable to (inhibit) or (uninhibit) the car. The VDS comes up with an error stating APS power req'd. What is the HV disconnect, is this the ESS yellow connector

The VDS screen has the following: Debug Text VMS-VDS <Press to Dismiss> ID: 1900 If I press to dismiss it comes right back

I recently moved from Tucson, AZ to Elgin, IL about 2 weeks ago I got a VMS error and now the basically non driveable. Is there anyone in the Chicago area that can help? The nearest SC doesn't know what to do after Iv'e made several attempt to schedule an appointment. I know there are two plugs...

When the original owner of 673 had the PEM replaced with a remanufactured one it came with a Roadster Sport badging.

Received email from Hagerty last week stating my car is under insured and they recommended I increase it by $8,000.00 only added 129 to my yearly cost. Was a no brainier for me. :)

Can the moderator move this to the correct Forum?

I have had Hagerty on my Roadster since 2019 and current insured replacement value is $107,000.00

This is not going to be much help as I don't see a Galactic Grey listed on this sheet. Not sure where I got this but maybe it will help others.

@Roadster do you have a pic of these installed?

What an event and great to see Elon hasn't forgotten us.............:)

The website has 8 other Roadsters listed, for those looking :rolleyes:

What a tragedy :(

Which Rim Blades are recommended or others have used for their 19" Gemini wheels?

Is there really a Roadster in the pic? Look several times still missed it.:rolleyes:

I got my cover through California Car Covers they always fit like a glove, and have all the required mesh at the vent locations and charging port.

Pretty sure you can order it through Tesla. Talk to your SC they can probably help you. I had my SC order me the "Roadster Sport" badge for the back of car.

This is really sad that someone would give it back to Tesla to be cannibalized, I get so depressed when I see hear or see this happen. :mad:

My trade in offer expires Feb. 1, 2022, but my delivery is not until June 9, 2022. Can I accept the trade in offer now and would it still be valid?

+3, the first thing I do when I open up my computer each day is to head to this forum...............you guys are great :)

With the latest two updates these past couple of days our walk away door lock function does not work anymore. The phone is paired, the icon for the walk away door lock is turned on and still nothing happens. All the other functions work with our phone but not this feature. It has worked for...

Priceless 🤣

Hummmmm...............now I lost my train of thought :oops:

WOW, Medlock would look at this and say I'll have it back to you in a couple of weeks, kidding of course, probably 3 weeks.;)

If I couldn't match the paint then I would consider a full wrap which alot of people are doing these days.

Just got off the phone with Hagerty to increase the premium on 673 and asked about the "Cherished Salvage" and they quoted me $226.00 for increasing my premium to a valuation of $107,000.00. The BOSS is thinking about it so will let you know what she thinks. As I told her they give you a check...

For those that are interested in looking at the valuation of your car through Hagerty see link below https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/2010-Tesla-Roadster

That's what the email states in Black & White. I was paying $1,559.00 for a $65,000.00 valuation When you think of what happened to @drewski at no fault of his own it is pretty cheap in my mind

Received two quotes from Hagerty in regards to my renewal which is due Dec. 15. They quoted me for Excellent Condition the following: $100,000.00 - $1,967.00 for one year $107,000.00 - $2,066.00 for one year Wife and I agreed to go with the $107,000.00 because this time next year it will...

This would probably do it!:)

Get well my friend hope you are up and running soon, takes are bodies awhile to heal after such a violent incidence. I'm sure Medlock will make 1038 look better than new.

My understanding of putting out a battery fire it would take 8,000 to 10,000 gallons of water and it is the reason fire departments don't try to put out a fire of and EV on the highway. Now take 30 cars x 10,000 gallons, that is 300,000 gallons. What kind of sprinkler system can supply that...

Question I now have with this many battery packs destroyed, where or how are these disposed of? You can't put them in a land fill. Are there special sites that take this type of battery? What is the EV world going to do when in a few short years they maybe thousands of batteries that need to...

Thanks Carl, I never was an electrical person, I always wondering why I own two electric cars.

@eHorses I'll have to check with Hagerty about "cherished salvaged" option, thanks for the heads up.

That is basically what Hagerty does when you insure a car through them. They write you a check for the agreed (insured) value for the loss of the car.

@CM-007 in your post above you indicated you noticed several OSHA violations. Curious (part of being a retired Architect) what they might be so I can learn more about the dangers that a repair shop must adhere to be OSHA approved. You also indicated you did not see any HV gloves. I have been...

Forgot to add I do not plan on selling the car for at least 2 years. :) By then old father time will be at 80 years old :mad:

Mileage is probably higher than most as the original owner probably drove it every day. It is 51,000. :)

I for one would not hesitate one minute taking mine to him for a repair, and will when the time comes and he is back up and running.

What to do after the recent events of our community losing several more of our irreplaceable cars? We purchased 673 Dec. 4, 2019 for $48,000.00 and yes even then I thought it was a steal and still do today considering the sale of Roadsters over the past year. At the time we insured it with...

Pete will as I emailed him yesterday, rise from the ashes again. His life is dedicated to these cars.

I sent Pete an email yesterday expressing my heartfelt loss to the Roadster Community to him, his family and staff. I told him he will rise from the ashes as he did before. This is still hard to accept this could happen again to a man that is so passionate about Roadsters and bringing them...

What is with the bubbles on the front hood? Is this from film which has failed?

This morning I decided to remove the Driver Side interior door panel to see if I could find a noise that I thought might be coming from the inside. Well I didn't find it, but I did find something interesting. The door handle had stickers on both parts with VIN 676, strange as my is VIN 673...

@tex AV thanks for sharing, great video, really enjoyed seeing so many in one place.

Interesting description indicates a range of 194 miles (not sure if this is on a standard charge or range), checked mine the other day and on a standard charge it was 182 mi and in range it was 201 mi. Mine is a re-manufactured ESS installed in 2016 by Tesla.
