As @Marius and @TOBASH said, QC charge quit building the JdeMo charger for the Tesla Roadster due to low sales volume. I had an email exchange with Tony Williams, the Founder of QC Charge. He indicated that they would consider building another set IF they had an order of 25 or more units.
So, is anyone interested? Cost would be between $3k and $4k each ($4k was their price at the end of their production run (we might be able to negotiate a lower price for a bulk buy)).
Here is my plan of how we would do this:
I know this is a heavy lift, but after seeing the behind-the-license-plate install, I'm ready to spring for one. Having the ability to road trip with my roadster would be great.
So, are 25 of you or your friends interested? According to Tony, "We supplied comprehensive installation instructions for anybody to install, even you." I know that Electrified Garage, Gruber, or Medlock would install as well. Perhaps we can get @CM_007 or @petergrub to go in on the buy with us, thus reducing the number of Roadster owners we need commitments from right now?

Here is my plan of how we would do this:
- get 25 or more forum commitments
- Reach out to Tony and get a firm price and a firm commitment from him on production
- Get funds from each person. Tony would need to specify how much of the funds he needed to begin production.
- Begin production once we have sufficient funds (we would not start collecting until we had at least 25 people committed)
