Hello everyone! Sorry for being offline for a while. Not much was happening since I started the certification process. In the process I figured out that the original Tesla lights at the back are impossible to change without reprogramming the software... It took me some time and money but...

Hello everyone. Looking for my winter tires. Can anyone tell me if the base of the car is unique Tesla make, or is it the same standard of some other brand? BMW has 5 screws as well. Would the same format wheels feet? Thanks

OK the rules have changed in order to get a car certified you can't have temporary registration. So, no more plates till the papers are ready. Should be ready within 7 days. All I need are the yellow turning lights at the back and a fog light at the back. The electrician is doing it on monday...

After you pay VAT and clear it through customs you get temporary plates for 6 month. During that time you need to get EU certification. I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. He is going to do certification for me within 2 weeks. I still don't know what the requirements will be. But for 6 month...

Got the plates. Still figuring out how to put the one in front. Probably will simply glue it on with double sided tape. But the driving will have to wait till the 1st of March. :mad: Can't get an inspection ticket without the winter tires till then. - - - Updated - - - People certifying the...

Do you guys know where VIN number is located? Not the one under the window but the one on the frame of the car?

When I started the process in September the European delivery dates weren't available yet. The dealer promised to bring it to Latvia by the end of December. I am pretty sure that even if I placed an official order in September 2012 the car would't be here until the end of 2013. And that would...

I wasn't aware about 40amp limit on the mobile connector. Will try to get higher amp on high power wall connector once it arrives.

So far I only used mobile connector and yes it supports (its written on it actually) 110-250v 50-60hertz

It was a problem for me from the very beginning. On one hand I really need advice and service in the future but on the other hand I keep reading about those mean ppl in Tesla which at best will take my car away and in worse shoot me dead when they find out that the car left North America :) I...

Going to customs. If everything goes as planned, I'll have temporary plates tomorrow. And on 22 will be able to drive the car to the dealer that going to do EU certification for good. Its still very snowy here and I haven't got winter tires. Gonna order them for the next season though.

Thanks for the pic. I might have to do the same. But first I was thinking about changing a bulb. You see there is a part of the turning light that is tranperent. And the bulb itself is red. Plus there is a second part where the glass is red. I was thinking about actually changing a bulb to...

When I'll have the plates and the snow melts :)

Thank you very much for your advices it really helped me! I took apart the cover of the front trunk. Found the 12v battery. And after an acrobatic maneuvering inside the trunk was able to put 12v 7 ampere charger on both black and red outs of the battery :smile::smile: huray! In a second after...

Its working. :) had to take half a car apart though :)

where do I find 12v battery?

Charging Model S after shut down Hello again! I am really suffering with this forum, cause my posts seem to go some kind of screening before they are published. Hopefully this one will show up in Battery & Charging. So my car have arrived to Latvia :) How can I charge a US built Model S in...

Complete shut down Hello again! So, the car is here. With some difficulties NEMA 14-50 outlet have been installed and mobile connector finally shows a green light when connected to it. But I have a major problem. When model S was transported from Germany to Latvia on a trailer it ran out of...

Thanks men! Will try to contact them.

Yeah I realised that when I was ordering. I still hope that they wont refuse service once its become available in EU. - - - Updated - - - Yeah I realised that when I was ordering. I still hope that they wont refuse service once its become available in EU. - - - Updated - - - I am pretty sure...

Hello everybody! I live in Latvia. I've been wanting model S from the moment I read about it. I wanted it so badly that I actually bought a delivery slot in US and shipped it here. In fact it should be in Germany by the end of the week. Another week and it should be in Riga. As you...
