How many Roadster Owners are Electrical Engineers ?

[Lou B]

Hi All,
Being new to the club, I am amazed how much technical knowledge is posted, especially
Without. Electrical schematics Being available. I am an Electrical Engineer and it
Seems a lot others are also. Thank you for bringing us new owners up to speed
On so many levels. It sure is a lot of fun learning from others about the Roadster. ! !

lol. I have undergrad and grad EE degrees but spent my whole career in quant finance.... I don’t really tinker as I would surely cause more harm than good!! I bet you’re right though about the car’s appeal to engineers.

 

[AEdennis]

Neither I, nor my wife (the Roadster owner of the family) are EE. I did work with a lot of EE in my last job...

 

[gregd]

EECS here, mostly on the CS side. But I know which end of a soldering iron to hold...

It's certainly a handy background to have with this car...

 

[Cottonwood]

EECS here, and glad to have continued going both ways throughout my career!

 

[augkuo]

EE but on the semiconductor side with low voltages - not in power electronics or electric motors

 

[dhrivnak]

Industrial Engineering here.

 

[KJA2001]

Bone and joint engineer here but I still a regular soldering iron user!

 

[ggr]

CS degree from an EE school, before they were separated. Did control software for power applications.

 

[Peter.h]

Systems engineer here (Dipl Ing from Germany)

Does a nurse count! I’ve been soldering projects since I was 8 years old and can read a schematic. But no formal training.

I'm a software guy, but from the time where there was less differentiation between software, hardware, and mathematics.

Can handle the low voltage and microcontroller stuff, but the higher voltage scares me (which is weird as my first job out of college was working on control of high voltage air purifiers).

EE and physics, most of my experience is from device-physics oriented electronics and MEMS. I have no prior experience with the electronic systems of cars and I learn a lot from this forum. Besides the desire to rooflessly enjoy the qualities of an EV, a motivation for me to get a roadster was that I anticipate that much maintenance and repair can be accomplished by wiring or programming!

 

[slcasner]

I was only ever paid to do software, but hardware (mostly digital) is what I would do for fun.

 

[n2mb_racing]

Electrical engineer here, but former Roadster owner. Hoping to get the new Roadster so I can carry a toddler!

 

[Curt]

Physics. Retired now, and own a brewery.

 

[Timothy]

Physician. First (and only at the time!) in my community to have an electric vehicle. Now many, many physicians in Santa Barbara have Teslas--but I still am the only one to have a Roadster.

 

[Electric Swede]

Theoretical Mathematics, CS, and Aeronautical Engineering degrees. But want to be retired and own a brewery.

 

[Curt]

... want to be retired and own a brewery.

I recommend it!
