I means it's time to call your service center

Is it repeatable? On a few occasions I have random but scary errors/warnings on the VDS and they do not return.

No idea - it might be a software issue or could be a bad part - only the service center would know. I recently got a "Car may not restart" message which went away after a few minutes, but I still called the service center even though the message went away and car restarted just fine. Turns out if was the battery heater that was starting to go bad. Hopefully they should be able to pull the diagnostic logs from the car and figure out what caused the message.

Turn on your GSM access, and when you call Tesla, they can download the log remotely and see what is up...

I have also had spurious alerts which never recurred and Tesla never mentioned fixing anything in subsequent service visits.

I think since is was such pioneering work, the original engineers were very conservative about reporting the least little thing that was not "nominal." Sometimes is just seems to be transient stuff that does not amount to anything.

BTW, your car is only 80-odd VIN numbers younger than mine, so probably similar hardware.

My 2011 Roadster showed the error code 3001 "SHFT: APS Voltage" today. Has anyone found out what this error means?

APS output 2 (PEM) reset

...APS is the Auxiliary Power System - it provides 12volt power to a number of subsystems of the car. The message would seem to indicate something related to the PEM reset. Just guessing, and I think the only people who will know for sure would be Tesla...

Apparently there was a TSB (service bulletin) for the APS cable/grommet:
2009 TESLA ROADSTER Factory Technical Service Bulletin - TSB | AutoCodes.com

Bulletin Number: SVC-11-16-013 Bulletin Date: 11-22-2011 Component: Electrical system:battery:cables Summary Tesla: during normal operation of vehicle, APS cable grommet can become dislodged. to improve security against water ingress a new design has been provided.

I suppose, while you are at it, if you are looking into APS problems, it may be good to see if your car had that fix or not.

Thank you for your replies. The Roadster just came back from service a few days ago. But I'll send a mail to the service center to make sure everything is fine.

My roadster showed the error today. Did you get any feedback from service center? Or was it a random error. and never came back?
