S105/ Roadster 189
Got a call saying my Roadster is done, but they are charging it and want to do a couple of other checks before returning it to me tomorrow.

Good news! Please ask for a much detail on the v1.5-specific problem as they'll share. Tell them other v1.5 owners want to know that the issue(s) have been resolved. Thanks!
Your wait is almost over! Please add your experiences, once you've had some time with the upgrade. I'm waiting on my call.

Yeah, that took three days for me... they didn't realize that they didn't even have a Roadster charger at the service center, so they had to order one!

Thanks to ggr reporting that problem earlier, I gave them my Can adapter plus they had my charge cable with the 14-50 adapter to charge my car so that should not have been a problem for me.
On a similar note, I am hoping that my first gen HPC, which will not charge a 2.x Roadster, does not have an issue charging my 1.5 Roaster with the new 3.0 battery pack.. Hopefully I will find out there is no problem today.

Thank you! Several service centers have bought one in a moment of revelation when they suddenly realize they have no way to charge the Roadster that just came in.

Every time I visit a Service Center, I recommend that they get a CAN SR. Some listen.

I go to Torrance and I believe that they have the CAN SR... Mark over there used to drive a Roadster that he has since sold as he moved into an AP enabled Model S.

I didn't know there was an issue with the earliest HPCs being unable to charge a 2.0/2.5. Could someone post a photo of what the early HPC looks like?
I have an HPC that came with my Roadster, #425, when I bought it. The exterior label says it is a Model TS-70 made by Clipper Creek. Curious to know if it is an early model HPC or not. My 3.0 battery is scheduled to be installed on July 5th.

I do not believe the Clipper Creek units had any issue with later Model Roadsters. Mine looks like this::
By the way, my Roadster was delayed because they were still trying to fix my creaking suspension noises.

I took a picture of the new range of my Roadster, but did not have my glasses on so I did not realize that it was all blurry. I'll have to get another picture at a later date. Range was 333 when I picked up my car at the SC. It was still plugged in there with the green ring on.

Yes, I would assume that is the fifth one that was made based on the "TSN", Tesla Serial Number.
Note the label "3.0 RDSTR 1.X" indicating that this battery is specifically for the 1.5 cars. But why not show it as "1.5" instead of "1.X"? Are there Roadster V1.0 cars out there?

I only ran my first gen Tesla HPC for a few minutes, but there appears to be no issues with it charging the new 3.0 battery.
Do you have the Can Sr to test? Love to make sure it works after the update to Roadster 3.

I have a CAN SR and will test it out after my 3.0 battery install on July 5-6. But I can't imagine why it wouldn't work, the charge port will be unchanged and the pilot signal won't be changed.
Agreed, but it's a big upgrade and I'd like to be assured my favorite accessory works with it.
