    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.

    Chad has been the primary Roadster tech here in the Northeast for a few years. I wonder who Tesla will use now. There are a couple other guys who worked on Roadsters but didn't have Chad's experience.

    Always great to hear about resources like this!

    @Btr_ftw, now that you "have a Chad", how about resurrecting a Roadster? Here are a few that need saving:

    #683
    #006 (Sig 100)
    #1171
    #1281 (Canadian)

    Once you have a Chad, you can do anything.

    I think Electrified Garage should move to California!

    Electrified Garage now has a shop in Ocala, Fl. Very exciting! Hopefully they can help maintain/fix our FL roadsters.

    Open house on 10/04/2020.

    Yeah, and NH business profits tax and business enterprise tax. So much for tax-free NH:rolleyes:

    Getting back OT, Several Roadsters in this area are using Electrified Garage (in NH). They appear to have the diagnostic software to perform the standard bleed test, among other things. A fair amount of Roadster experience in that shop, and all the reports I hear are positive.

    Wait a minute...
    Is a car-sized fork-lift really a better idea than using a tow-hitch?
