Roadster

As I've mentioned elsewhere, now that I have my Model 3 I'm trying to sell my Roadster. I've listed it here on TMC in the Tesla For Sale forum and elsewhere. But I'm finding it impossible to get a reasonable estimate on its value. I'd be most grateful if people who have actually sold a Roadster...

Purchased a 2.5 Sport in November. Love the car. The best irrational thing I have ever done! OK... that being said a week ago had to have the Roadster towed to the Tesla shop as the dreaded Error 1144 PEM overheating error popped up. Diagnosis is - needs 2 new PEM fans - better than a new PEM...

The Rimac C_Two Unveiled with 1,888-Horsepower Rimac Teases Its New Electric Hypercar Ahead of Geneva looks cool but i think way more expensive then the new roadster will be or what i can afford.

Ok, for those that saw my post in "Parts" I'm sorry to repost here, but with not having the ability to edit the thread I thought I'd list what I still have here and actually price it all out since I'm getting a lot of PM's. All prices include USPS Priority shipping w/ Tracking. Roadster -...

I was under the Roadster yesterday to program the rear antenna of the TPMS system. I had to remove the pan under the two blowers. My Roadster still has 2 motors on the fans. I was disappointed to see so many rusted fasteners on the undercarriage holding the various aluminum panels in place...

I posted a few odds and ends for Roadster in the Tesla Parts area, lots of charging stuff. Someone suggested I post something here so it isn't lost from you since S/X/3 get all the attention. :) Take a look if you need something. I also just found this gift I received with my Sig Car. Anyone...

Once in a while I have visitors that have cars with J1772 charge ports. My garage is set up to charge my Roadster. Has anyone seen a Roadster to J1772 adapter. (Not asking about charging a Roadster with a J1772 charger, I have a CAN-JR)

So happy today...quick spin around the neighborhood and she ran good.

My Model 3 just arrived and I love it. Sadly, I cannot justify keeping two electric cars. The Roadster has been great fun for the 6 3/4 years I've had it, but it's time to let it go. This is a one-owner car. I bought it new from inventory in 2011 and it has been my daily driver ever since. It...

I have a slightly damaged rear steel subframe for the Roadster (1.5 if they differ) and I'm wondering if any of you folks who are rebuilding cars would want it. It was replaced a few years ago when my car took a hit on the left rear wheel. The rear suspension members bent and the only damage I...

Just went to unlock my Roadster, pressed the driver’s button as usual (with hardly any force) and it pressed down further than usual. Now, it appears to be stuck. I’ve wiggled it around a bit, and was able to trigger the unlock function after about five minutes, even though it’s still stuck...

Hi everyone, First post – here's a quick introduction... I'm French, just moving from Germany to San Francisco, proud owner of a 1998 Renault Spider, very sad that I am not able to legally import it to the US (yet – 5 more years to wait!)... and since Monday owner (still virtually) of a Tesla...

So my wife drives the roadster as her daily driver. Last week my wife was driving to work after dropping off my son at school. The roadster threw up a warning "Powertrain problem, Service required" She texted me about while I was at work. A couple of miles later it put up a another warning...

So I've got the new custom rotors and pads installed (Now Shipping: Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors), and saved the old set. What do I now do with the old ones? Turns out that the rear pads were almost done anyway, but rotors are fine. Do I: A. Keep them for some buyer down the...

I have done multiple searches on how to balance the battery and get even more confused with the more I read. I have a 2008 roaster, #466, with 36K on the odometer. I am not using the car as a daily driver and have been charging with the 110 volt charger. (My wife's S model has been hogging the...

With the vast amount of information on the models, what model is the one for a person transitioning from ICE to an EV. I am just researching the roadsters after a lifetime of Porsches and always wanting a lotus I feel this would be a great time to dip my toe in the water. I feel a 2.x is a must...

After being placed on display at Tesla’s Palo Alto, Calif. headquarters this week, the next generation Roadster prototype logged some track time in Fremont. Twitter user Shehryar Khan‏ posted a short clip of the car rolling to a start line. Khan and friends ask “Is he going to launch it?”...

This is cool on the link below. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page page you can see the Roadster's speed and distance from Earth in real time as the clock is always moving. Currently, as of this posting, it is 2,140,202 miles out and has a speed of 6,749mph. Where is Starman? Track...

I’m currently in Georgia and am considering moving. So I called the local Tesla store about an overnight test drive with a AWD Model S. I’m scheduled Monday morning. I was curious has anyone received anything longer than a overnight test drive?

Hello, We’re looking for a Roadster within the Northern VA area to assist us in designing. nee part. All we require are just some dimensions without any dismantling and clear pictures. If anyone could assist it would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Someone on the Tesla Model 3 Facebook group has said the new Roadster is in their local showroom. No photos provided. I rather tersely suggested they were full of it. The geotag on their post did suggest they were in Fremont. Has anyone heard of such a thing? It does sound unlikely that they...

I go to quite a few car shows with my Roadster and I like to have a sign that helps answer the many questions people always have about the car. My old sign was getting pretty run down, so I just ordered a new one. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. If anyone is interested, the...

If your would like one last look at Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster before it drifts into the darkness of space, the Virtual Telescope project will offer a livestream early Wednesday. The Virtual Telescope Project uses a very powerful set of real, robotic telescopes and makes their view remotely...

Question? When I purchased my roadster it was called a 2008, (Vin#466). On the screen it says is was assembled on May 1, 2009. Is this just because Tesla was running behind on deliveries? Did Tesla ever make a 2009 model or did they skip right to 2010? Please advise. Thanks.

Tesla reports Q4 2017 earnings and forecasts growth for 2018. This after managing a rough and tumble manufacturing year with Model 3. Tesla has worked out those S curve maneuvers alongside an eruption of lawsuits. Speculatively, a result of Q3 numbers not being what some investors anticipated...

Absolutely breathtaking example of a late-VIN, 2011 Roadster 2.5 Sport. Black-on-black, with only 11,000 two-owner miles. Immaculate inside and out. Battery is in pristine condition - CAC is 155.2 (which is ideal) Front half protected by Clear Bra, and the entire car complemented by shiny...

Anyone know if the soft top is universal with the Elise? Looking to buy one.

I unfortunately got too close to a Jeep today. The Jeep is in good shape, I wish I could say the same for my Roadster. Looks like I will need new headlights, hood, drivers side fender and a bumper. Does anyone have any idea how to get the parts? I am also checking with Tesla but I am OK...

Hi Everyone, In December, I took delivery of my 2017 Model X and am absolutely in love with the car. I recently also put money towards reserving a Model 3. I am thinking of buying a roadster as well. I would appreciate some guidance around the purchasing of it. - Where should I look for...

Today I got nice green lights all the way and the traffic was lighter than usual so I got to work early. I decided to use the quiet time at the shop for something on the side and "designed" sticker /actually two/. In next days I will try to nest them in print que and print them :) Please...

Miller says thanks for the sweet ride!! She was apparently so inspired by the Falcon Heavy launch, she decided to take her Tesla to space. LikeShow more reactions Comment Share I gave my referral bonus to my granddaughter, and the timing was perfect!

Where to buy? :) (Kind of a mandatory office desk thingie now, I guess)

As I watch Spaceman and his Roadster float serenely through space, I can’t help but wonder how much havoc the Van Allen is wreaking on that dash. I just hope Elon kept up with regular applications. Or maybe a sunshade? Cheers to Elon and the SpaceX team! Watching this with my 7 year old felt...

Elon Musk’s showmanship reached new heights Tuesday. Stunning livestream images showed his personal Tesla Roadster carried into space by SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, which is now the most powerful rocket in operation. The midnight cherry Roadster is one of Elon Musk’s privately owned vehicles...

So Mr Musk is sending his Roadster to Mars presumably to have a vehicle when he arrives there in a few years. However, doesn't this launch and extended time on another planet risk bricking the battery?

My roadster only came with one key. The SC doesn't seem to be able to find the proper replacement. Any ideas about replacing the FOB or is Tesla the only option? Cutting the key is easy, I'm not sure about programming the IMMO....

Might launch Feb 6th?

Quick someone tweet Elon to take out the PEM on his Roadster and save it for one of us waiting for a PEM replacement! LOL 4051EC8F-1BE3-44DA-BFAB-68BCD09383C5 by ModelS posted Feb 5, 2018 at 1:59 PM

I picked up my 2010 roadster last week. 3.0 battery, new tires, CAN JR & SR, three charging options, only 23128 miles. Seems well equipped to me ... at least I'm happy.
