Roadster Maintenance

And speaking of Martin's car, it was ALSO in the service bay today. I was told it was in for its first scheduled service. I was wondering when I might see Martin's car by chance around the Bay Area, and today was the day

.

Could be. He said he made over 1000 miles already.

Do we know official service intervals? I don't remember reading anything about that anywhere ...

Could be a powertrain 1.0 thing. Or to help train the service teams and check their skills and protocols?

Perhaps to get the iPhone/iPod stuff sorted out?

Perhaps Martin will enlighten us at some point. In any event, they appeared to be taking excellent care of it, polishing the front end during the time that I was observing. The car looks just great (as of course you would be able to attest to as well).

I vaguely remember someone from Tesla being asked in an interview (maybe Town Hall?) about frequency of maintenance. They replied that in general their car would require little maintenance beyond tires, but that the first few they made they would want to service more frequently to make sure everything was okay under real world driving. This is probably why Martin's car is back for maintenance so soon.

Also there was the firmware problem that TEG or someone mentioned earlier that his car exhibited. It is possible they want to upgrade him to a later version.
