@OakvilleMYP I know you are trying not to focus on the rarri!

At the Tesla TakeOver yesterday:

There were 7 Roadsters in the show and one in the parking lot--but only these three were still owned by the original buyer! And the red one is a Signature 100 car--number 33!

Picture of 10 Roadsters where one of the Roadster drivers is himself taking a picture of some of the Roadsters.

This was on the Steve Casner memorial drive earlier today. He would have enjoyed it.

Wish I could have been there. Glad to see Martin made it out as well.

In the "Gorges du Verdon", south of France. It was the center of attention until we left

Hamiton, Texas. A crew from Tesla came out to commission the new Supercharger station here, and I brought out my Roadster to show off a little. This was a hit, as they'd never seen one in the wild before!

At college town C&C, huge hit with college kids and professors. ICE/MOPAR dudes eventually took pics, too.

How did the charge go at the Supercharger?

How did the charge go at the Supercharger?

Well, it made for a neat photo op. The construction manager, John, was unaware that Roadsters can't DC fast-charge, but then he was like, "Oh, that explains why I've never seen one turn up at a station before!" And then he allowed my Model S to be the first customer car to charge at the site, so it was all good.

Been there done that.

Is it April fools day yet? OK, not really.
At least I didn't have to pay idle fees!

So, that's not dangerous to attempt? Or did you do something special?

I assume the Supercharger would get no communication signal from the Roadster so would just never try to activate.
(No contactors would close to connect the DC current. )

NOOP

@TEG is correct. All you will get is a "Invalid Pilot Signal" message on the VDS. There are several layers of safety with multiple stages of 2-way communication before the cable would ever get energized.
