I don't disbelieve it, I'm just still surprised we are waiting for a good photo of the longest range ever seen on an EV...

No photo but have this from OVMS. Est range is low because we live at 2400ft and do a hill climb before it parks.

Finishing up this trip car used 5 IM parked for two days then drove 110 miles home (total 212 real miles) and had 67 IM left in range mode and 33 IM when it reverted to a normal charge.
I wasn't trying to economize. Drove mountains, freeway, SF city traffic. Started and ended at 2400ft. Have wider and stickier tires than stock.
Feels like 250 usable miles for me. I'd expect over 300 miles driven more gently.
Is Roadster 3.0 capable of supercharging? (sorry, too lazy to check every page of this thread to find the answer)

Search is your friend, its quicker than reposting the same question and doesn't clog up the thread with questions already discussed....

Using the TMC site search function and entering "Roadster supercharging" in about 15 seconds I found this thread which if you read it makes clear that Roadsters cannot use Tesla Superchargers. Roadster & Level-3 or ChadeMo / Supercharging?
The new TMC forum site search is quite good.

My 1.5 Roadster is still at the service center getting the 3.0 battery upgrade. Apparently an issue has come up updating the firmware. They swapped a board out (PCN? If I have those initials right) but that has not worked so they and Tesla engineering are still trying to figure out how to fix the problem.

I have mixed feelings: sad and concerned that your Roadster's upgrade has run into difficulties, but also happy that they should have the problem(s) solved by the time my "close cousin" v1.5 Roadster gets its upgrade!

On the positive side, they are replacing some electronics, at no additional cost to me, in the car that are well over 7 years old so that is a plus. I am sure they will eventually fix the issue. After 2 1/2 weeks, I am just missing my Roadster.

Do you know if yours is the first 1.5? ggr has a 2.0, Adrian has a 2.0 Sport, the silver one offered by SF Sports Cars is a 2.5 Sport. Do we know details for any others?

Mine is the first Roadster that the Marietta Service Center has done. Asgard had indicated that his car was in the line, but never noticed him say it was done.

Are they replacing the entire PEM? (upgrade to 2.x PEM perhaps?)
First one I've seen post around here...

Mine is still in the line. No ETA, but the pace of installations is less than one every couple of months.

Has anyone noticed if things like the code to access the engineering screens on the VDS is the same?

Only a small fraction of all Roadster owners post here on TMC, so it is impossible to know with any degree of precision the rate of 3.0 battery installations.

The one I was told to search for worked for me, post upgrade. It wasn't hard to find.

My service manager said he talked with a Florida service center advisor and was told they have done 4 Roadsters there. Of those 4, 2 had similar problems with getting the cars to upgrade the firmware. My problem must not be exactly like those 2 or they would have already figured it out.
