    1187 is close to getting a new home...

    Aloha, I've searched high and low for a while and believe I've found the 2.5 Sport. It's been described twice in the Orphan thread. It does not have the CF treatment that I was looking for, nor the black forged wheels but I figure those might come later. I've been lurking here for a bit and...

    Manual battery cooldown mod - a cure for the Roadsters insomnia

    After years of dealing with the coolant pump running almost 24/7 here in hot sunny Florida, I finally decided to do something about it. Since the Roadster just taps into the existing air conditioning system for ESS cooling, I just connected 12V to the ESS cooling solenoid. Now I can activate...

    roadster door release sticky

    My 1.5 Roadster driver's door release takes 3 or 4 pushes of the button to actually open the door. It makes the proper "click" sound with each push. This happened to me shortly after I bought the car about a year ago, and someone suggested squirting WD40 into the mechanism, which worked...

    There's been a bit of discussion about buying a used Roadster in the Lévis Supercharger forum. I think it would be better to have that chat here instead.

    Glove box light

    I seem to remember having a glove box light but there isn't one working now. Inspecting the interior, I find a very small apparently LED light on the upper outer rim—but I don't see an easy way to replace it. Is this an end user replaceable bulb? If so, where do I get replacement and how do I...

    TPMS Continues to fail. The "New" customer service is non-existent.

    As many have read, my TPMS continues to self-sabotage. While there is some question as to whether this is intentional to force you to go back and pay Tesla to fix it, or it's just garbage that they won't fix or even acknowledge, one thing remains constant. Their customer service still is...
