I wish to thanks each of U for Ur thoughts and comments on this warranty offer issue. When I first had the opportunity to test drive a Roadster it was in Colorado Springs in June of 2010 at the Antlers Hotel, with a rep. from Boulder, Co., Erich Ziegler. It took me months to make the decision to...

I have my 2010 2.5 Fusion Red Tesla Roadster( it is not the " Sports" model ) for sale on Autotrader and I am considering an offer of a 90 day , $4000.00 battery repair warranty to the purchaser of the Roadster , which is presently for sale @ $54,900.00. During the first 90 days of ownership...

Well, today I received the trade - in estimate from Tesla Motors and to my surprise it increased by 15K with the Clear CarFax report. Tesla is offering 40K towards the purchase of the Model X. CarMax with the Clear AutoCheck report has only increased its cash offer by 4K ( 35K w/ false...

Thanks 182RG for the link to dispute CarFax - Vehicle History reports; On Sept.8th, 2016, when I approached Tesla about trading in my 2010 2.5 Fusion Red Roadster on a Model X, I was informed that an existing CarFax accident report listing the Roadster as being involved in an accident in Texas...

Roadster is stored in garage and plugged in to charge at all times. What other precautions should one take to protect lithium batteries and 12 v aux. battery in zero degree outside weather ? Any suggestions or problems that other owners may have encountered ? Tesla service reps. indicate there...

Thanks Wiztecy, Most of my travel has been short distances. Will engage cruise control during my upcoming trip to Tesla service Oct. 7, in Denver. Question ? What is the binoculars icon , indicating " Watched" all about on some the list of posted treads, and who selects the posts they are on ?

Wiztecy, I have the 2.5 model Roadster, I don't wish to sound uninformed after 6 years of ownership and 24,500 miles,but I am not familiar with, nor have I used the cruise control system, if it has one. How does one access cruise control on a Roadster. Embarrassed ?

Wiztecy, Roadster has original brakes equipment from day one. What changes in firmware since July ? I'll check on scheduling last warranted service prior to winter coming to Denver. Thanks to all for info. Dean

Thanks 4 Ur reply Wiztecy , the roadster was in service in July 2016 for replacement of Transmission and Firmware was updated, I will check with the Houston service center, who performed the service to see if they checked or cleaned the PEM while in shop. Anyone have experience with the Denver...

My extended warranty ends Dec.2016., my question to the owners of Tesla Roadsters is; Do I continue to have the Roadsters yearly service performed in Denver( now due ) and pay out the $600.00 + service expense or visit the service dept. after warranty ends and only when there is a legitimate...

Thanks 4 bringing the "Sports" heading to my attention. I went to AutoTrader and edited out the word "Sport" in the 4 sale title." Note" The change in the ad will not take effect 4 24 hours. It will read " Used 2010 Tesla Roadster UNAVAIL ! " I also stated in the sellers comment section of the...

I totally agree with each of U on Ur comments concerning Carfax. Wiztecy, the idea of taking this story to the media is one that I will explore. Its my intentions to contact both State Farm and Hartford insurance companies to obtain the Roadster's policy records as one way of disproving the...
