Thanks Jason for the steps to get to the ESS SOC. The dealer was able to send me a photo of it. CAC is 111.91. He said it had a current range of 165 miles but I believe there are different Range indicators. I've seen within this forum that the Ideal Range is the best indicator.

I was able to cancel the purchase. So Sad, I was so excited. This dealer is by far the coolest guy. I suggested he become familiar with the CAC and Ideal range since he has purchased and sold a few Roadster through his shop. They are so gracious and helpful.

We as private sellers could help ourselves a ton by listing:

CAC
Standard Range

every roadster buyer should also have these HIGH up on their list of MAIN questions to ask the seller... the BaT, blue eBay roadster, and thunder grey 1.5 are sub 100mi cars in real world conditions.... 120mi if you PUSH for it.

Get a halo9. Do it right. We are driving 6figure cars, why are we adding 15$ worth of failed android devices to them to avoid having the original double din parts remade or a proper single din put in?

If I lever one, I was looking at the Alpine ILX 107 from my research. Clean lines, looks like OEM fits double din. Someone posted in her on it and it adds car play.

 

[Gremlin]

He sent me a photo of the Ideal Range = 155.
Is their a Roadster Owners Manual for Idiots or Roadster for the Soul book I can purchase?

Asking for a friend, When garaging the Roadster for more than a month, is the storage mode the best charging choice to preserve the battery life?

Asking for a friend, When garaging the Roadster for more than a month, is the storage mode the best charging choice to preserve the battery life?

Standard Mode is the best practice for a month. 90% of bricked Roadsters are due to charger failure during Storage Mode. It’s better to have 20-30 days to discover your charger has failed (if it fails with the car at 83% SOC), than 10 days or less (if charger fails at 40% SOC).

Also, HUGE important factor is to ensure it has a dedicated 240V charger. 110V does not cool the battery unless the battery reaches a very high temperature, and is the least reliable charger (for long term use) out there.

Thank goodness for the CAN Sr and the UMC 1 @40a or the GEN3 @ 48a.
Oh...and air conditioned garages, by far those are the best out of all of the above.

Wow. I hope this is unicorn Gremlin has been looking for...he’s been looking a while.

Part of the issue has been me being really picky, 2.5 noses color, and the all important timing. I'm getting 3 Powerwall installed the following Friday (was my Model S pay off money with change).

I like it, of course I see this with pending Powerwall installation July 24, MS gets upgraded to AP 3.0 finally and MCU on July 23. Money just going out the door.

That particular (red) car is apparently VERY well taken care of.

but you won’t regret the powerwalls. They’re phenomenal.

I suspect #2500 will be destined for a museum and will be the benchmark for Roadster perfection that all others will be judged from. Good luck to the sellers! Asking price = $1,479,156 USD.
