Give it time...With the Google backing of Tesla, I am surprised the phone connectors are still iPhone based, not something special for Droid phones.
Apple supports USB. Just use the normal sync cable that you'd use with a computer.Give it time...
Honestly, though, that has more to do with the HU manufacturers (e.g., Alpine) than Tesla. They support the iPhone because the iPhone/iPod is popular. Also it's an advantage Apple has by controlling the hardware as well as software. Google's Android is an OS that runs on a variety of hardware platforms from different manufacturers (e.g., Droid is by Motorolla, Evo is by HTC, etc.). Hopefully they'll all just move something standard like USB. And Apple will... still likely have their own proprietary connector.
That was my understanding too. Something about since the glove box door was a moving part, additional crash testing would be required. Perhaps they got an exception or were mistaken before?? Of course they've already had the glove box since the Roadster 2.0 (2010MY).Curious though: how exactly did they manage to add a glove box without doing any crash testing? I remember someone saying just after the early rounds of crash testing that adding a glove box that late in the game would require more tests and $$$.
Yes. As an after market modification done by the customer (via a 3rd party) no crash testing would be required.We also saw Double DIN before in DrTaras A&E modified Sport...
Wish they had gone with the door speakers too. :wink:In fact, I think they used a similar Alpine unit to what Tesla now offers.
Perhaps that A&E/Alpine/DrTaras mod was in effect a prototype for what has come to be in Roadster 2.5...
Euros, man!
They put some tweeters in the doors and better amps.

Yes, that is the front quarter panel of the Model S concept car.I don't understand what this image has to do with the 2.5 Roadster (VFX's post above # 31) ... or I can't figure out where on the car it's located. Isn't this a Model S shot ?
That makes some good sense ... would love to see a detailed close-up of the logo on the nose of the 2.5.My guess is that VFX's point is the logo on the Model S matches the Roadster 2.5. In other words the "floating T" symbol without the badge behind it.
Just my opinion, but I think this thread should be moved to the regular Roadster forum, and out of the performance sub-section. A lot of people will miss it there.
