Tesla Motors Club
I went to the Park Meadows Mall in Denver the other day and had a few questions about the Roadster. Sadly, they knew nothing about it except they thought it was a "Franken-car" and were a bit rude and shrugged me off. I was surprised how annoyed they were, as there was 6 of them standing around their Model S P85D. Several of them were probably around 18 years old so the Roadster came out when they were 10 and don't remember it even existed. One guy knew about it a bit and said it was horrible, loud, and terrible a car, and even though I owned a Lotus Elise I wouldn't like it whatsoever.
My only questions were radio-options, that if the JVC head-unit in the 2008 model (or 2010) indicated it also included the subwoofer as-standard, if the JVC model indicated the upscaled audio-option. I actually had put that head-unit in my Lotus Elise in 2006, so I agree with Musk's choice there, it's quite good, despite the lack of a Navteq map-upgrade (I had researched an upgrade in 2007, it seems there's still no disc even STILL!)
My other question was what sort of charge-stations could I use. Certainly my Volt and ELR can use the EV-Level-2 charge-stations by ChargePoint and SemaConnect, and my home Bosch Powerstation 240v-16A, but I was wondering if the Roadster could use other kinds of stations, perhaps what the maximum ChargePoint EV-L2 stations with some voltage-sag would max-out at? How does the adapter J1772 make a difference? If I plug the Roadster into a Tesla Rapid-Charge station would it even work? I'd hate to be stranded as there's very few charge-stations in Colorado, and if I get to a "wrong one" I'd be screwed.
I knew also that the 2008 model 1.5 had a bit less noise-insulation but was wondering if the 2.0 had the same noise-insulation, that perhaps it was merely some cosmetic changes, or if that was only the 2.5 model in 2010? I also noticed some 2.5 Sport models had a double-DIN unit by what seems to be Pioneer.
In any case, I was wondering which are key-indicators for subwoofers if no pictures are handy. Sometime on AutoTrader I just ask the seller and they don't know (or won't tell me).
Can anyone help? Who's selling theirs? I always take super-care of my cars to the point of being an extremist and have had a lot of semi-exotics and RWD sports-cars and obsess over them.
