Roadster

My roadster joins me in disapproving of this weekend's weather - attempt to turn on AC and < 1 minute the car throws up a 'power train needs service' warning and needs to be pulled over, turned off and on again to continue I'm looking to get an appointment at the SC but curious if others have...

I have read as much as I can. It isgood not to charge 100%. It is also good not to go below 50%. So which has a bigger impact on battery life: Range charge to 230 and get home at 130 or Standard charge to 184 and get home at 84?

Looks like the OEM Tesla prices have gone up for the 1.5 TPMS sensors and are now $236 each! Mine recently died and I am reluctant to pay $944 for a set of 4. Anyone tried these sensors? http://www.oewheelsllc.com/TPMS/make/Tesla/model/Roadster/year/2008 Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for black forged wheels 2.5 for my roadster. As you may know, the online shop for the roadster has removed most items. I contacted Tesla and was told that this item is no longer available. Does anyone know where I could possibly get these wheels? I would sincerely...

So my Roadster ended up cutting out this week. Roadster has been sitting for months at 60% SOC. Made it into work fine which was 35 miles. About 8 miles into the trip back the Roadster's power shut down and I ended up with the following faults below. I did a key reset after waiting 5 mins...

Today I got an Email from my SC to tell me that my Roadster has triggered a battery low alarm! That is fantastic service of Tesla I think! I just had driven it down to nearly 0 Km range, so it was even true!

My new (to me) 3.0 successfully arrived in California from Hawaii and loaded up for the journey east... to Baltimore!

I tried searching for paint shops but couldn't find anything relevant... I picked up a scrape down the side of my roadster (SF rush hour traffic...) and I'm looking for a recommendation for a paint shop that knows how to repair paint carbon fibre panels and work on the Roadster. Tesla Palo...

It was a beautiful day in New Jersey for a gathering of more than 40 Tesla owners and family members, including 4 Roadsters at Osteria Procaccini in Kingston NJ (near Princeton). The restaurant owner (a Model S owner and former Roadster owner) generously provided a wonderful pizza and fruit...

Held in Seaside as a "thank you to our Roadster owners for the continued passion and support in accelerating the future of sustainable energy." Roadster owners got to park in the lot where they had a Model S and X on display - and then even though the invitation said there would not be a Model...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a windshield protection film? I noticed ClearPlex on a google search. With the availability issues (and cost) of replacing a Roadster windshield, I was thinking of adding a layer of protection against highway rocks. Also, I have the solar guard...

Got home from a glorious commute last night (rained yesterday in North TX so the temperature was down to 80!) and plugged in as normal. I have a charge timer so that the fans don't drive my wife crazy while having dinner etc. so it wasn't charging yet. I convinced her to go on a ride (big...

I've been in love with the Roadster ever since I saw it at Goodwood Revival powering up the hill. Now I'm seriously looking for a car. LHD or RHD doesn't matter, really. In fact I'd quite like LHD, like my Smart Roadster. But are there UK compatible (lights etc) versions of the LHD ? Or am I...

I am currently in the market for a car that I believe will hold its value. The debate between my brothers and I have been mainly about a Roadster and what we believe or don't believe in it as something that will not continue to depreciate and why. In a sense this car seems to be more of a gamble...

I have noticed these 2 areas with a list of Roadster error messages: Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/ovms_server_tr.vece at master · openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System · GitHub Roadster VDS Messages Perhaps there is another located elsewhere more complete? However there are quite a...

When I was ordering my new ESS "plug" Tesla looked at my log files and said I needed a firmware update. I quickly checked logs I had pulled a few months ago and noticed that the firmware I had was 4.6.8 40. I assumed this was the latest? "timestamp, firmware version 08/31/2014 10:53:05...

Hello, I am driving a new BMW Z4 and looking into 2008 Signature 100 as a weekend/collection car (maybe 30 miles each week). This particular car mileage is about 12k, fully loaded and excellent condition. It is selling for 65k. Is it reasonable? It says comes with high power 220v charging...

Greetings all, I bought #693 (a Glacier Blue 2.0) from a good friend. I have borrowed the car for extended periods of time in the past so my garage was already set up to charge it and I'm pretty familiar with the car. A/C works great even in Los Angeles summer weather. Condition overall is...

Brought my dream car home tonight, 2010 Roadster 2.0 in Radiant Red #0534. Thank you again to everyone who contributed to my first thread, when I was trying to do all of my due diligence before the purchase. You folks are the best! I could not be more excited to be part of the Roadster Family...

I'm a happy new owner of 690. She has been well taken care of and is a great ride. She charged up to 181 and settled to 179. Previous owner lovingly wrapped her beautiful yellow with a nice metallic black. I have been torn about what to do because I love fast cars and fast women.....I...

Dear Roadster Friends, Like many before me I find myself in a small existential crisis owning an amazing Roadster and a MS which is my daily driver. On the one hand I don't drive the Roadster as much as I would like. On the other hand there is nothing like driving so low down, feel of the road...

Maybe just me but I seem to be experiencing a lot more folks asking me about the Roadster, especially since Model 3 started to feature more prominently in the news and particularly in the last 2 weeks. Lots of people asking "Is that a Tesla?" and being very complimentary, kinda takes me back a...

I've noticed that the TeslaGLOP.exe log graphing tool isn't displaying anything in the logs past 7/13/2017, even though the car has been driven since then. Seems like it hit a limit somewhere. The VMSParser.exe tool does seem to be working just fine, including the most recent drive data, so...

Is it me, or are the Roadster Interior Upgrades gone off the Tesla site? If so, does anyone know where else to get these parts? I need some charger adapters and other items.

I recently acquired a very early Roadster 1.5. The battery was replaced in January 2014 (3 years ago) due to bricking. The car has been driven ~3,000 miles since the new battery was installed and has a full standard mode range of 182 ideal miles. The Roadster is not my daily driver and will be...

Hello Tesla Motors Club! I am a decade-long Tesla admirer and am finally in a financial position that would allow me to pursue my dream of Roadster ownership. I found what I thought was the perfect Roadster for me, ironically only a week before my birthday (which is tomorrow!). It is a 2010...

I was told by Tesla service that a "standard" battery replacement for the Roadster was more than the 3.0 upgrade due to no availability. Does anyone know if this is correcy?

Within 3w of getting the car serviced, I had some error messages. I took the car to the service center and got the bad news that it was a PEM failure. I thought I read here somewhere that it's possible that it's a PEM fuse and not the entire PEM so I pushed back and asked the foreman to...

Ok, so driving my roadster to work on Friday, parked the car and 8 hours later start the drive home. The car was hot, no shade in the parking lot and we dont have chargers at work, so I assume the battery was pretty hot. It was mid 90's *F and the car temp measured over 100*F . While driving...

Does anyone have the details on the terms of the original Roadster Battery Insurance Plan? I emailed Tesla customer service, gave them my VIN# and asked if the original owner of my Roadster had purchased battery insurance. Without this forum I would not have even known that there was such a...

Hi, folks! My name is Edwin. I finally pulled the trigger, and I am now the happy new owner of Roadster 722. Thank you to the forum members who helped me with the buying process and answered my many questions. Today has been a good day.

Why do you think this is? Makes me happy because I hope to own one soon, but are people switching to Model 3? Is service getting too pricey/ tough to get?

While checking the update for Model 3 content, noticed only the car cover and hardtop bag for Roadster now. No headlights, wheels, 3.0 battery upgrade, carbon fiber bits, etc...:eek: Let's hope this is temporary as they update the site. Otherwise the Roadster appears prominently listed in the...

I just returned from an eventful month away from home (and Roadster) on the other side of the country, and am reviewing footage from a camera I set up to monitor the VDS. The car was left on June 29th plugged into its 120V connector on "storage mode". Ideal range was 175 miles. Just 21 days...

I just went to the tesla.com shop and noticed that chargers for the roadsters are no longer being offered on the site. Any one know any more?

I have the black indoor Roadster cover (purchased from Tesla) and no longer need it, now that I've sold Baby Turtle. The new owner didn't need it. It's well-used. It also appears to have some burrs stuck to it. If I were selling it, I'd meticulously pull them off. But I'm not. It will probably...

I am lucky enough to have a riverside holiday home on the Norfolk Broads (UK). My wife drives a Model S (85kWh) and I drive a Roadster 2.0 (53kWh) I also have an electric boat (20kWh). For charging at the moment we use an existing outdoor socket. It works OKish as we usually only have one...

i am a new Roadster owner and hoping for some advice about the alarm. I would like to lock the doors, but don't want the alarm to sound if the door is accidentally opened. Any way to do this?

I'm in the market for a roadster, would love any advice on the best place to find one. Looking for something that can be my daily driver. Ultimate goal would be to find a silver one that I can customize. Would love any insights! Thank you.

Paging @vfx... (couldn't PM you so starting a fresh thread ;)) I realize I'm woefully late to the game here, but are you and Chris still offering the TMT mesh soft top conversions previously discussed here. I'm enviously providing photos below of the fortunate few who got one before the FB page...

Bonjour, Je suis un étudiant en Baccalauréat International qui fait une recherche sur Tesla (dans le cadre d'un essai). Je serais très heureux si vous pouviez consacrer 2-3 minutes pour répondre au questionnaire suivant. Vos réponses m'aideront infiniment pour rendre mon etude concrete...

The main battery is dead and so the rear wheels are completely blocked and the Roadster cannot be moved even pushing it. Do you know how disengage the rear wheels with the HV battery dead?

I brought my car in at 12 for annual service. At 3:30 PM they told me it would be ready at 5. Does not seem they could clean out PEM in that time. Brooklyn TESLA center. Best, T

I have the Single Din 2010 2.0 Model Planning to buy Amazon.com: JVC KD-R370 Single DIN In-Dash CD/AM/FM/ Receiver with Detachable Faceplate: Car Electronics Anybody know which adapter or harness i need to buy that will work with this model? Thanks in Advance!

Hey Guys i wanted to replace the wiring that goes behind the crappy jvc single din model that comes with the 2010 2.0s. I noticed some of them had some tears. If i want to replace all of the wiring that goes behind the stereo do you guys have any part numbers for the antenna, wiring harness, gps...

Looking for recommendations on which brand/model luggage lock(s) CAN owners are using on each respective adapter. The CAN-JR looks like a straight pass-through but the CAN-SR appears to rely on the top of the lock loop to be seated in the recessed channel to prevent it from turning so fit seems...

I was planning to do some leather work for the dashboard and also on the leather seats, the leather guy said i would need to remove the seats and dashboard for him since he's scared of working on Teslas lol Do i need to disconnect the 12V battery to remove and replace these items (want to be...
