Tesla Motors Club
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 have learned quite a bit from all of you (thank you). I've had the opportunity to check out the R80 that was in Honolulu for a bit and a 2.0 Sport in SLC. The lure of the 2.5 Sport features and a lighter color made us hold back on those.
1187 has been inspected by Tesla at Westmont, IL and save for front tires that where not installed right (and were worn), the D button being crooked, and the 12v battery needing to be replaced, it checked out fine. They reported the main battery was fine ('no fault codes' or errors with the battery). Unfortunately, they could not provide the CAC. (Could this be?) Incidentally, the Westmont service center had another blue roadster in at the same time!
Nuccio (great guys BTW) will have a wheel repaired (there was same rash), minor paint repair, and alignment checked. According to Bill at Nuccio, it charges to 182 (standard mode).
I'm wrapping up details this week and it should soon make the track to LA, then to Honolulu, then the Big Island.
Yes - brakes and a light upgrade are top of the list (safety first). Next might be powder coating of wheels and a Visium top.
