My introduction to Tesla came in 2007 watching Glenn Beck's show on CNN. I considered my $50k deposit for a Roadster shortly thereafter as a very risk "investment". Being an owner (of one of the first handful of Roadsters delivered in the PNW) allowed me to purchase TSLA at the IPO for $17. It...

A fellow Bellevue, WA condo resident!! My story is similar but different: Moved to a downtown high-rise condo in 2010 with my Tesla Roadster. My townhome unit has an enclosed private garage within the secured open garage; so a very nice situation. We had a 14-50 outlet written into the contract...

It rained on my delivery day 4/2/2009, resulting in this image which was used by the Seattle store for a while thereafter. That's my son on the far side taking on, and beating, a Sport model in the quarter mile at Pacific Raceways in Seattle. 8/7/2009 The NW Tesla Roadster Club gathered at...

I, for one, want a full-on, ear-piercing backup beeper. Not for regular use, mind you. Just for when I'm slowly passing by the neighboring construction zone that ruins my life with their backup beepers all day! That and so I can find the address of those legislators who voted for such nonsense...

A CNBC article today says: "Tesla is allowing all Model 3 reservation holders in North America to order their electric sedans." Note the use of the word "ALL" and interpret that as you will. But if literally true, this could explain how the floodgates have opened up. Tesla is asking Model 3...

8 1/2 years ago, shortly after delivery of my Roadster, my wife and I were driving down the highway when another car pulled alongside and slowed down. They made a couple of orbits around us with the driver and passenger taking pictures from all sides. After a thumbs up they finally moved on. The...

Just got mine! Was there supposed to be break pad grease with the pads too? What's recommended?

Me too. I did not recognize the name "Cedar Ridge Fabrication" or the TitaniumDave email. So I canceled it. It wasn't until PayPal showed me the cancel record that it said anything at all about the Tesla Roadster shipping charge. I'm OK with PayPal, so I sent Dave a quick followup email to...

wiztecy sent me a PM about my order. But ironically.. "wiztecy has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages." The answer is "yes" on the AX6 bundle. You can now contact me via email from TMC, which I monitor regularly.

Is Tesla Companion no longer supported? It stopped working for me today. (Crashed on login.) No longer in the Windows App store. Looks like Tesla's change in servers killed another useful app! Tesla Companion for Windows is no more | Forums | Tesla Motors

My check will be in the mail on Monday as well. (Thanks, Tom, for pointing this out to me!)

The Google Glass is connected to an Android phone and all the control he describes could be done thru that. Cool enough! But he shows and describes what he claims might be the first 3rd-party Tesla app actually running on the Model S screen! How did he do that??

Yes, but how about "something showing the mounting/installation"?

I'm only just seeing this thread. I'd be interested in the group buy, but it looks like that has passed. So I may be on my own. Does anyone have a link to clear, concise and specific ordering information? Looking forward to seeing more pictures; especially something showing the...

We took delivery yesterday (10/17/12) of Mary's new Model S! VIN# 265: Sig Red, Performance, 21" Silver wheels, rear CF spoiler, pano roof, black interior w/red piping, 85kWh. The red Tesla Roadster now has a younger twin sister! More pictures at my website gallery.

I actually received TWO (identical) invitations on the 19th and 20th. The invite is so horribly void of information, but I guess that's enough for those terribly excited by the idea. I don't visit the board often and had no idea they were so close to revealing anything about the X, so I thought...

Just reserved last evening and this was in today's email from Tesla:

No specifications were revealed or announced and I know little more about it than what it looks like. But I suspect the cable is fully capable of handling the current and the full signaling capability of the standard, as if it were plugged into an HPC. I would at least expect that from Tesla.

Tesla J1772 Adapter Cable Tesla demonstrated their J1772 Adapter Cable today at the unveiling of ChargePoint EV charging stations at the Bellevue Square Mall this morning. I have no info as to availability or price, but I'm guessing somewhere in the $600 to $800 price point. My concern...

Tesla trailer hitch and bicycle carrier I probably have the first (and only?) Tesla Roadster with a trailer hitch and custom bicycle carrier! If you want info on this please contact me thru the email link at the bottom of the root page on my website and I'll get you in touch with the person who...

More photos from the Tesla rally Yes, thanks Dave, that's my gallery! Here's a shot of my other all-carbon-fiber vehicle, my Cervelo bicycle, on the bike carrier on the trailer hitch on my Tesla Roadster. Our group drove to the Tesla store in Seattle and I rode my bike back across Lake...

I found it interesting and perhaps a bit ironic to discover that a number of Tesla parts are manufactured by GM! This assembly for the steering column shows the GM brand, as does some of the dashboard electronics, such as the turn signal lever. I suspect these are among those parts in common...

tire burnout I'm a newbie drag racer :cool: but if I correctly understand what I was told by other drivers at the event they have a way to engage ONLY the front breaks, leaving the rear wheels free for tire burnout. Without such a mechanism I think the rear breaks would make it hard to spin...

There was 0.339 secs between the best sport (12.982) and non-sport (12.643) times. We'll be aggregating the data at some point and from that you may be able to fairly determine what's "typical". Those best times had comparable "lightweight" drivers and might be considered "fair". The tickets...

Drag racing the Tesla Roadster This was just a super fun time drag racing the Tesla Roadster! I call it "plug and play" racing because there's nothing to do but fasten your helmet and stomp on the accelerator. (They did often have to remind me to roll up my windows!) My 1/4 mile times were...

Pictures of my cover (the same model) can be found at: Forestmoon Gallery

Intro My Radiant Red Roadster was delivered last week and I put 220 miles on it in three days. James has talked this event up in the Seattle area and if there's room I'll likely be joining the caravan down to Portland as well. It sounds like you've thoroughly addressed the issue of charging...

Today is a gorgeous day in the Seattle area -- finally!! -- so I took the hardtop off for a trip to Auburn. 90 miles of sunny highway driving in the new Roadster! Range numbers aren't too good doing 70 mph on the highway. Started with 188 mi ideal range and ended with 63. So 125 "ideal" miles to...
