Upgrades to the OG Roadster Post Yours

[glight2000]

OMG, very nice work on the Roadster. I also live in SD and would love to see it in person sometime. Unfortunately, I think we’ll be on a family vacation while you’re at the car show. Nonetheless, I love your mods!

Sure. I reverted back to the original instrument cluster and took out the sound for now. I want to find some better speakers. Its not much but its all cool. I went with a carbon fiber top on the original instrument panel from the elise shop. I was thinking of doing the whole dash and front air conditioning and airbag cover with the carbon fiber at some point. it would fit right in. Where in SD you live?

I live in Eastlake but work at UCSD in La Jolla and Hillcrest. How about you?

I love downtown but used to live in OTay ranch. What u got planned for the holidays? I’m trying to get my car started it won’t move from park at the moment after they put the quick charge mod on. Know anything it might be?

You may want to try rebooting the VMS. If that doesn't work, reach out to @TonyWilliams at QCP directly. He'll help you sort out your JdeMO issue.

Tried that and been working with Tony and Alex and can't seem to figure out what it is. Went there myself today and rebooted it and nothing. Just all accessories turn on and the park light is flashing red and cant shift to any gear.

Only thing i did notice is that the covers that protect the battery are not put back on, but they have no connections. Could it be the transmission control module fuse or maybe it just has some sensor that detects the battery panels are off?

On the 2.X PEM at least the high voltage access door has a mice switch that will throw an error and not go into drive if the cover is off

That makes sense. I know it’s hmjust metal and some plastic but I bet once it’s put back on it will be fine.

Did you get this sorted out? :-/

Yes, It was a PEM interlock mechanism that wasn't seated right when they were working on it. The charging system is amazing.

Really interested in the "push to start" upgrade if anyone has details or can point me in the right direction.

What's the adjusted license plate mod you did? Or do you mean you have a customized one?
