Roadster

Editor’s note: This article was updated after readers pointed out that Musk’s comments could be referring to a Plaid version of the Roadster, not necessarily the entire production run. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk’s comments on Twitter have caused some to wonder if the new Tesla Roadster...

Hi helpful folks out there in the community...have been enjoying my little blue baby... did a couple of long trips and maybe after range charging seemed to have a bit longer range for a bit, then it seems to have drifted down but still reasonable. Loving driving this car. BUT THEN day before...

Hey everyone. I currently have two 2.5 Sports under my roof - VIN 1414 and VIN 1462. I've noticed something rather spooky recently when studying the active cooling cycles while both cars are charging. I was hoping some of you guys could weigh in. THE ISSUE - 1414's cooling cycles (while...

Carl Medlock and his Medlock & Sons Tesla Roadster rehab shop in Seattle recently received a profile by CNBC. Medlock is a former Tesla employee and “one of the few people in the U.S. that can fix the company’s original Roadster car.” Spare parts for the original Tesla are difficult to source...

Reason for Selling: My father and I looked for several years for an original carbon fiber Tesla hardtop for our Thunder Grey 2008 Validation Prototype Tesla Roadster (Roadster #VP30). We came across this hardtop which was painted light blue and intended to have it repainted in gloss black...

This is the second video in our series on Gruber Motor Company where they take us on a very educational overview of Roadster design, maintenance, and component level teardown.

The specs on the new version of the Tesla Roadster were hard to believe when the car was debuted – 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds and 620-miles of range? Wow. And if that weren’t enough, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk later announced that a “SpaceX package” is planned, which would add cold air...

Hi All, I'm excited to announce that I am putting together another Roadster meetup! The meetup location and route is TBD, but I want to get this on everyone's calendars. Please forward this invite to others that you know. I'd love to see 15 cars out together! Plan to meet at 9am mid-peninsula...

Yet again, the upcoming Tesla Roadster is on display.Interestingly, the upcoming Tesla Roadster made an appearance at the 2019 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) conference at the Long Beach Convention Center in California.

I have $105,000 off on the new Roadster 2020 and I am looking for $80,000 to hold the reservation in your name. I am providing a way to reserve the Founders edition without paying $250,000 upfront. I am looking for $60,000 now and $20,000 when the car is released. Your total payment before...

Rich Rebuilds has a new employee at his Electrified Garage who was a former Tesla tech who might be a source for independent Roadster repairs. At the 6:50 mark

Not a Tesla, but here’s some pics of the Mercedes EQ concept roadster that’s on display at Incheon (Seoul Korea) airport. It’s pretty cool looking. The part over the front of the driver lifts up for him to get in. Definitely not street friendly with the exposed tires.

So Tony Stark pulls up in a freakin’ Audi etron?!??!! What the hell Tesla! If I was Elon I would have definitely dropped a few of my millions to make him pull up in a The new Roadster instead. The publicity would have been fully worth it.

There’s a magical number that Musk says will be surpassed. The upcoming, all-new Tesla Roadster will have the highest electric range of any production EV ever made. In fact, it’s electric range will exceed 1,000, but not in miles. With the recent range upgrades for the Tesla Model S and Model X...

This has been out for two days, I'm surprised it's not here. Only a few seconds, but it looks like a special effect rather than a real car. Tesla on Instagram: “Zero to sixty faster than you can read this caption tesla.com/roadster”

Well everyone, I'm pretty close to saving up the down payment for the reservation on 2020 Roadster. I'm debating whether to put down my reservation now or wait until Tesla gets closer to building it. It's currently invested in the stock market so the more I wait the more it will grow. But the...

I'll be driving down from San Francisco along Skyline in the early morning with a couple of Roadster owners. Would love for a few more to join. Please reach out if you are interested!

As a Vehicle Enhancement Studio smack dab in the center of the Silicon Valley, we have seen a significant increase in the number of first-time clients who come in to enhance their Teslas. With the ramp up in the production of the Model 3's, of course at any given time we have at least 2 in the...

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Twitter this week that the next version of the company’s Roadster sports car could hover over the ground with the help of thrusters borrowed from his rocket company. Musk was responding to a follower who sent him a GIF of the flying Delorean from...

I am looking for someone to temporarily trade my 2017 S 75D for a Roadster. Something like 1-4 weeks. I am in Fort Lauderdale, but would be willing to drive to you or meet in the middle. For anyone interested why -- I currently have my S, the fiance's RAV4, and a 1999 Miata I love. The fiance...

The SF International Auto Show had Teslas for the first time at their international show. The Silicon Valley TMC group organized owners to participate in the event over the Thanksgiving weekend 2018. We had two each of all Tesla models. A rare combination of all Tesla models for public...

Regarding Tesla's Referral Program and access to their secret levels (ex. Roadster 2.0 discount), were these secret levels only available to customers who ordered their Tesla in 2017 and future customers are limited to only 5 referrals? I purchased my P3D on 07/2018. I am currently under the...

Good Evening Fellow Tesla enthusiasts, I am looking to solidify a buyer for my 2020 Tesla New Gen Roadster. I am lined up to receive a Founders series and will be receiving some money off due to several referrals I have accrued. I am offering 5% off total price to the buyer...

I'm looking to buy a roadster with its first PEM. My guess is that the PEM will fail shortly. My question is the following. After PEM repair, is it known to fail again? In other words, was it just the first iteration of the PEM that needed fixing, or is it some kind of routine repair that is...

Hi Roadster owners in NorCal. The SF Int'l Auto Show is happening Thanksgiving weekend this year at Moscone Center, SF. They have asked me to help them get some privately owned Teslas for static display. They will be in a separate room behind a rope barrier. So safe from the visitors'...

Whether it’s sports cars, rockets, or tweets, there’s no denying that Elon Musk likes to push limits. That trait has been evident in all his companies’ pursuits. We saw it early with the original Tesla Roadster. When the car debuted in 2008 it managed to produce a 0-60 mph time of just 4.6...

Hi all, we are out of town (so our Roadster is out) and our EV club is looking for an convertible EV for a LGBQ parade this weekend in the Melbourne Florida area. They are looking for a convertible so a political candidate can ride in it; you may guess the party :-) If anyone is willing to join...

I am hoping to get a couple spares (I have a few friends/relatives that have Roadsters too). Pretty much just want as spares, so hoping to not pay too much.. It be for use in the US, but if the mobile connector is for a 230 market, I might be interested too.

Opinions. Will Tesla build the base model roadster first, or will it be like the Model3 where a premium version is offered first, and then the base version later? I'm seriously considering making a deposit, but I don't want to find out two years from now the only version available is $300K and...

Jay Leno was recently treated to a thorough walk-through of the next-generation Tesla Roadster by Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen. What’s more, he got a ride in the highly-anticipated, all-electric supercar. Leno seemed giddy as the acceleration of the Roadster sucked him into his...

I've been thinking about some features that Tesla could add to future cars (some just fun ideas but some I think are genuine luxury comforts many expect from high end cars). Many of these features I've seen in other cars and think if there is any company to think of improved/more innovative ways...

During the annual Tesla shareholder meeting, CEO Elon Musk announced that Roadster 2020 would have a SpaceX option package that will include rocket thrusters. Later, Musk tweeted a few more details: the thrusters won’t actually combust; instead, they will expel high-pressure air to give the...

About 8 months ago I acquired a 2008 roadster (I’m the second owner) and have been using the 110v plug. I’m finally getting around to having an electrician estimate hooking up the roadster High Power Wall Connector that requires 90amps. The electrician is concerned about running that amount of...

Howdy... As it nears the delivery of my Model X, I'm hoping to speed up the sale of my gorgeous 2010 Roadster. Most important to note - the Power Electronics Module failed due to the previous generation dual fan setup on 2.0/2.5 cars, and was replaced in September 2017. The service center...

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get info on where I can access fast charge points for my Roadster in the UK. Do the old 70A points still exist? They seem to have disappeared from ZapMap’s list. I have a type 2 connector but I think it is limited to 7 kW chargers, and that the more...

That the next-generation Tesla Roadster will have an “Augmented Mode” designed to “massively enhance human driving ability,” according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “Like a flying metal suit,” he tweeted in a reference to comic book superhero Iron Man’s tech-powered suit of armor. He did not...

Howdy, I have been asked to assist my friend Seth in finding his gorgeous Roadster 2.5 a new loving home. Here's a Sterling Silver Roadster 2.5, which was the final version of the Roadster produced in late-2010 thru 2011. The 2.5 featured improved seats, sound isolation, double-DIN navigation...

Interesting conversion from EV Controls for a Roadster using Tesla P85D and 32Kwh of Chevy volt batteries. It has 200km (125 miles) of range and a 9.5 quarter mile run I can't wait to see the next video providing more technical details information.

Like new condition. Official Tesla product. Brand new it was $750. Asking $400 OBO

My roadster had the dreaded fault come up today...Battery service required. The battery was at 150 miles. My wife had to manually unlock the car door. She noticed the faults but still was able to drive it. Luckily she was able to drive it home without any issues. I plugged it in when she got...

I’m really hoping they can fix the “bottleneck” with this Model 3 shutdown. Getting tired of answering messages from friends and the doom and gloom that come with them. They questioned me when I purchased my model S and for some bizarre reason want to prove to me they were right that Tesla...

"Tesla is a drama magnet." Ain't it the truth. So why does Elon do it? Some on easy street might wonder. Why does Musk, Chief Executive, of two competitive companies divvy up his time between SpaceX and Tesla. They're like siblings. The elder for this article's purpose being SpaceX. The favored...

This was just so cool, I had to share!

Hello, I have spent a lot of time working on the new Tapp, and hope that is evident in the latest release. Since I now have developer signing, I have included a conventional .dmg disk to install Tapp.app. I've tried to make the best possible user experience, and feel that the app could be...

No warning lights are going on, either. The gear indicator indicates I'm in these gears, but the car's wheels just won't move. The car's stuttered and stopped abruptly when reversing for the past few days, but now won't reverse at all. So now I'm waiting for a tow truck. Has anyone experienced...

TMC Member Earl.detty was so impressed with SpaceX’s inaugural Falcon Heavy launch that he got a tattoo of Elon Musk’s Roadster floating through space with Earth in the background. Detty drove to Florida from Toledo, Ohio to attend the launch in person. He had the tattoo inked on his shoulder...
