Roadster 3.0

[ggr]

We're booked in for upgrade on April 4. Battery is here (San Diego SC), another Roadster is currently being upgraded. Upgrade is electronics stuff only, no changes to tires, suspension or anything like that, as others have already said.

GGR - I'm very jealous!

@ggr are you planning on getting the JdeMO upgrade from @TonyWilliams ? Wondering how the 3.0 would perform wit JdeMO

 

[ggr]

I haven't felt a need for it yet, but with the extended range I might think more about it. My primary use case for the larger battery is day trips to Los Angeles.

ggr - Did Tesla give you a timeframe for the upgrade? Any details ahead of the installation?

 

[ggr]

"A couple of days". Now you know pretty much everything I know.

If it was me, I wouldn't install the JdeMO until your new ESS warranty (and possibly your car's extended warranty if you have it) has passed. I'm sure Tesla would quickly deny any claims if the 3.0 ESS fails, even if it was due to malfunction by Tesla, when they find any information or hint that an aftermarket charging system was installed.

Thank you. I look forward to your progress and OVMS information.

Only untll they are left FAR behind at the starting line.

Got email!

We have received your Roadster 3.0 battery upgrade and I would like to get you on the schedule to get it done. The first slot I have for the update is Monday the 25th. We will need to see the car for the better part of the week. Please let me know if that week will work for you and I will put it on the schedule.

Great! Put me on the list for a ride in it after the 3.0 battery is installed.

Also, is this 3.0 replacing an existing OEM battery? If so, it'd be great if you could weigh your Roadster before the upgrade so that we can figure out the weight difference of the 3.0 battery.

I'm not going to give you a ride, you have to drive it instead!

@spaceballs do you have OVMS in your Roadster? It would be cool to know what OVMS sees after the 3.0 upgrade.

Yep I do, I'll let you know what it says.

I think that @markwj has asked for information for this as well so they can look at what OVMS sees on the server side.

Please update any information you get as you have the Roadster 3.0 upgrade completed. Very anxious to get more information.
