I know there are a lot of threads on this, but a simple question: I have a 2.5 Roadster, which sensor do you suggest I buy as the current ones are dying. I understand the 2.x system is crap, but I would at least like to get new sensors in there as I am about to change tires.
Having owned early an early Roadster (1.5 #414) and an early Model S (#26), you are better off with a later production car. On my original roadster I eventually got a 2.5 Sport (#1453) that had much better seats and better entertainment/drive layout. On the Model S, simple features such as PDC...
I just had Rob install the Nitron's on my 2011 Sport that had the Bilstien setup and the difference is enormous. The Nitron's are much more compliant on the freeway, plus I had loads of understeer on the Bilstien's when driving aggressively, that I could not dial out as the front was was too...
My 2 cents here. First the Roadster is a fabulous car and IMO will go down as a pioneering achievement in EV history. A car that can go >200 mile on one charge and do 0-60 <4 secs, it set the stage for what was to come. If you want to buy, I would focus on what you want more so than the cost as...
One of the things I found on the new car is that it has a staggered wheel pkg, I thought they stopped doing that in early 2015? but I also looked at a P90D that was built in July 15, verses my November build and it was not staggered, 245's all around, must but be random?
After almost 4years and 40k miles I am about to say goodbye to my Signature 26 (P85). Its been a great car, but its time to upgrade and take advantage of all the advances Tesla has made in the past 46 months. I waited until the refresh came out, but quite frankly, both my wife and I prefer the...
Wiztecy - my front dampers are starting to leak also, but didn't you go down the Nitron route with Rob? If so how do you like them and how much did it cost?
Exactly how I think about - glad its here but unless i need the range why bother, on the other hand if something goes wrong with my current battery I am glad this is available
Agreed - charging is much nosier
On the seats I am 5'11" and 170 and find the 2.5 seats much better IMO. I don't move around as much in the corners despite the fact my 1.5 seats were alcantera verses leather - they do sit higher and if I were 6'2" or taller I would want the 1.5 seats
I put 28k miles on my original Roadster (#414) before deciding to pick up a 2.5 sport. My observations after 6k miles on the 2.5; better seats (much more supportive), the new instrument/entertainment panel works much better, adjustable suspension less harsh than the stock 1.5 setup (adjustable...
Roadster quick ratio steering mod
I have a quick ratio steering rack on its way and need new rear tires on my car and would like to get it all done at the same time
The Roadster is one of my favorite cars and would not think about selling it unless I needed 4 seats. I put 28k mile on #441 (2008 1.5), before picking up #1453 l(2011 2.5 Sport) last April which had 360 miles on it an now has 5k miles and I am loving every minute with it, more so than the 1.5...
OK - I have just gone thru all the 3.0 posts, some funny, some good and this is the best post I have read, thank you PokerBroker for grounding everyone. This is a great car and the fact that Tesla is stepping up to make incremental developments for an out of production car for a maximum of 2,500...
I sold #404 a couple of months ago and replaced it with #1453. But I had 28k miles on #404 in almost 5 years and it held up really well, was really surprised how well the alcantara seats held up, looked like new when I sold it.
I have a 2.5 Sport with the Infotainment option. Other than the Alpine head unit does does anyone know the make/model/location of the other components in the system - speakers, subwoofer, amp ??
Agree buttons are look/feel cheap, but like the location and how the heater works (no on button). The guy bought it in Jan 2012 and drove it only 360 miles, go figure ………..and sold it for a great price, had to jump on it ….
Sold my 1.5 with ~28k miles for this Roadster Sport 2.5 with 360 miles on it. First impressions are much better seats and suspension, plus I like the new dash with 7" audio, although Alpine head unit not intuitive especially without a manual, if anyone knows where to find a manual that would be...
Just read thru this whole thread and very helpful as I get my 2.5 sport delivered in about a week, after spending almost 5 years and +28k miles in my 1.5 non-sport. Can't wait to have a car with a decent suspension that I can tune, the 1.5 is awful, springs that are too soft and dampers that are...

Great looking car, my car (pearl white) was in the middle stall right next to yours, when I bumped into Elon he was over in the section of the factory where they test drive the finished cars. Did you notice how many of the cars in the line were like yours signature red? my delivery person said...
I am SSL #29, just took delivery today of my Model S with vin #26. The car is awesome, the delivery experience was great, took about an hour then I had a factory tour for about an hour and the factory is really humming. Bumped in Elon inspecting finished cars at the end of the production line...
I am SSL 29 and was supposed to pick up the car from the factory last Tuesday 8/28, but got called the Monday before and was told all deliveries where being put on hold for quality issues, not sure what that means but that is what I was told and have not heard anything since
