Roadster

Since the video quality is lousy (vertical, low-resolution, hand-held phone camera), you won't get the true experience, so let me set the stage and describe what you're going to see... I'm taking a Sunday drive in my Roadster with a friend, heading to Alice's for lunch. Coming up Hwy 9 from...

Coming home after midnight last night (on a trip I've done many times before and usually make it home with about 10miles to spare) and about 5 miles from home I'm showing 19 miles of ideal range...Out of nowhere I hit an area of very cold fog and then shortly afterwards I get a message saying...

Looking for any time saving tips other than the obvious safety warnings....people with actual experience please reply or message.

Can someone explain this? Tesla Roadster Car - Buy Car5 Product on Alibaba.com

I know how to get into the Roadster service menu screen but once there cannot figure out where to go to turn off the “Maintenance Service Required” message. I did it once before, a few years ago, but have forgotten. I have tried every choice choice available on that menu screen but don’t find...

does anyone know if they can still be purchased somehow through tesla (perhaps at the factory)? also, does anyone have a pic of what they looked like? thanks! :-)

My wife ended up wrecking our only gas car that she usually drives during the winter. All is good and she is fine. The gas car was 11 year old and not worth much thus only had liability insurance coverage so we did not get paid for any damages. The cost of repairs exceeds the worth of the car...

2017 promises to end for Tesla coming down on positive side of that production slope for Model 3. Have you noticed the periodic buzz reports of inventory being spotted here and there? Recently though it's all about the semi. Preorders are rolling in and this is looking like a repeat of Model 3's...

I'm reading the owner's manual on the Alpine IVA-NAV-10. I'm confused about some of the features -- how they work, are they actually available, etc. I have a 2010 Roadster 2.5. Does anyone have a link to a video that goes through the setup and operation? Thanks!

Three days ago I drove to a car park where I left my 2011 Roadster for about 6 hours. As usual I left the car locked. When I returned to it, my key would not unlock it. Absolutely no response. I assumed the battery in the key had gone from fine to empty suddenly. My lovely wife drove out to...

While President Donald Trump and the Environmental Protection Agency under his control look to repeal rules aimed at curbing carbon emissions from cars and trucks, it’s worth noting that Trump is a Tesla owner. A story by The Washington Post last year offered some details of Trump’s car...

Hey guys: Anyone have a technical drawing or 3d model of the Roadster hardtop? Need it for a special project I'm working on :)

Hello fellow TMC Roadster owners. I'm now the proud new owner of #241. I bought it from a local dealer here in the DFW area as previously noted in the Orphan thread. Today's Roadster Orphan I'm a new Roadster owner, but not new to Tesla. I also currently own a Model S for about the past 2...

Hi I'm new here. Created a small concept for the roadster GT3 racer. Could be a very interesting race-car. Don't know if it would be allowed in existing race classes for it being electric though. :-)

While driving to the Truck Unveil event last month I noticed something odd with my brake lights. They work correctly under regen braking, but if there's no regen braking going on and I just have my foot on the brake pedal to hold the car still, the brake lights come on at about half brightness...

Goedemorgen, Gisteren hebben wij onze eerste en nieuwe MS 75D opgehaald uit Tilburg. Mooie belevenis zoals jullie al weten. In februari gaan wij voor het eerst op een lange trip. Wij gaan naar Grindelwald. In beide opzichten spannend. Lang geleden op de ski’s gestaan. Wij rijden midden...

Just found this documentary with my car in it:

Thought this should be noted here: https://www.copart.com/lot/46691937

:confused: Elon Musk on Twitter Wtf?!

You have to admit, Tesla did a nice job of keeping the new Roadster a secret. Now, after the car’s debut, some details about the secret design process are coming out. BGR spotted photos on Facebook that are reportedly from a member of the design team. The photos, which have made their way to...

If a financial services professional(s) could be consulted on their practices in designed surveys so customers can self select themselves into different risk pools by their varying risk preferences and discount rates, the acceleration and deceleration times (or other subtle) features programmed...

TSLA - Infographic Worldwide electric car sales are expected to reach 9-20MM by 2020 and 40-70MM by 2025, according to IEA. Tesla expects to deliver 100,000 Model S & X vehicles in 2017. A brief timeline of electric cars.

How many total Roadster reservations by December 31? Please feel free to share your reasoning below.

I just bought a 2010 Roadster 2.5 and am waiting for it to be shipped. I downloaded a manual showing it can charge at up to 70 amps, but the seller charges at 40. What is the max charging amps you recommend? Thanks!

Today I took the time to create a long ass video with in-depth comments about the next gen roadster. Enjoy!

I have the money to buy a Roadster. I bought two Model S90Ds last year. I love to use Summon in the parking lot at my job every day. I am the local sales rep for Tesla. I could continue this with a Roadster 2. But I can't go 250 mph. I can't even go 125 mph. I maybe can go 62.5 mph...

There are some wrecked Roadster sports for sale now and then. I wonder how many parts that need to be moved to make my Roadster into a Roadster Sport. Motor, PEM and some suspension parts. Is that all?

Anybody think that getting a Tesla roadster Founder's series reservation my be a good investment? At $250K the car is a total bargain compared to all the other hyper cars. It could arguably be a transformational car in the history of exotic cars, which may lead to the car being a collector's...

Part 3 of the trip to the US for the #Tesla semi unveil event, where I visit SpaceX and look at the Hyperloop and Boring Company. This whole trip just felt like a tour of Elon's factories :-) Enjoy!

Where did 2017 go? A lot has transpired and inspired. While other matters rendered us mute with frustration. It's all good. As they say what doesn't keel us over. Tesla is all lit up with awesome. Even amidst recent challenges seasoned with some unsavory news. Thursday's semi event was done up...

I’ve seen high end Ferrari’s going for $1500+ per day. I think I might go nearly that high for a day in the Roadster. Anyone have an opinion?

Roadster 1038 arrived last week and all has been well. When I returned from work and plugged in the usual fan noise from the back started but this time there is a ticking sound that is superimposed. The noise seems louder from the undersurface at the back and I assumed that the fans that cool...

The brand spanking new #Tesla Next Gen Roadster from all angles. Enjoy!

I’m the second owner of a once daily-driver 2011 Roaster 2.5 with about 70K miles on it. The car recently came out of the body shop for some minor cosmetic surgery and is now in absolutely perfect condition. I also replaced the leather seats and all the interior carpeting. Mechanically all is...

Of course we don’t have any numbers on the exterior dimensions of the new Roadster. Watching the various videos people have posted of the car viewed from the line waiting for a test drive, it appears to me that the length of the new Roadster is significantly longer. It pretty much has to be to...

Current model s p100d owners, will your next car purchase be a next generation model s p100d/p130d or the new 2020 Tesla roadster announced today at the semi truck event?

Finally, I've completed the video of the semi unveil event, with summary of the semi and lots of goodies around the Next Gen Roadster, Tesla's first hypercar. (Sorry for the delay, but the wifi at the hotel is really slow)

One of Elon's "secret weapons" to boost sales has been announced. Who's getting the first free Model X? Musk Offers Model S Referral Program as Tesla’s First Incentive - Bloomberg Business

Okay so it was a WOW factor. Nothing new there. Consistent with Tesla brand semi tickles ALL my gadgetaholic wanna tinker and touch it tendencies. Normal since personal Tesla discovery moment. I would add looks good enough to taste but that might be a bit much for some minds to wrap around...

Hi All, My name is Shawn, I live in Southwest Michigan. My car is a 2010 Fusion Red Roaster Sport #785 delivered December 2009. I replaced the VMS and ESS in 2015. The car was plugged in to a mobile connector 14-50 240 volts with good voltage and no breaker tripped. Across the winter I...

I think the parking lot will be interesting.

This is the official thread to post pics, vids, and info about the Tesla Semi event. There should be a live stream that starts at 8pm PST tonight. Cheers!

I just sold my 2010 Roadster Sport to make room for a Model X. Now I'm looking for a new home for the following Roadster accessories. 1) 20V 15A Yellow Charging Cable modified with a spare Martin Eberhard controller circuit to support 240V 15A charging Paid $900 for the cable, plus a few...

Is it really not possible to adjust the camber in the rear on a non sport Roadster. My tires are wearing on the inside and the garage said that there were no place to adjust it. Is it possible to adjust on the Roadster Sport?

This is more for the placebo effect of feeling safe(r) by having an ABC extinguisher within arms reach, but does anyone have any recommendations for one that can mount to the front of the passenger seat? I looked at the Sector 111 FXbracket2 which attaches onto the seat bolts but the mounting...

Hi, My name is Lariane and I am currently studying Business Management in GTI, Galway. I am doing a team project on Tesla and I was wondering if anyone has a Tesla in or near Galway City that they wouldn't mind driving into the parking lot. It is a team project and it's kind of like a sinking...

It's been over :eek: six years since the last one... so just sayin' ;)
