    Selfie Stick To the Rescue!! "Reaching" a Solution

    Or the benefit of driving clear under those pesky barriers. Er or so I've seen, probably.

    Seen in the logs: error codes 1115 and 1116. What are they?

    1115: DMC FW: Motor Temp Sensor 2 warning 1116: DMC FW: Motor Temp Sensors Differ warning Courtesy of the Tesla Tattler 'decode' command which can decode all Roadster errors and warnings.

    OVMS Cooldown Alternating 70A/13A. Huh?!?!

    FYI Tattler was updated when we learned that you don't need to add cycles to the charging contactors with stop/start charge. The algorithm is start charging in range mode (only mode where battery cooling occurs normally) limit 13A (minimum allowable current for minimal power consumption) then...

    Now Shipping: Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors

    Dont know yet - not myself. Do you have any local (San Diego) recommendations Greg?

    Now Shipping: Custom Tesla Roadster 2-Piece Slotted Rotors

    FYI I ordered a set from Dave via paypal too. All the details were on the invoice so no issues there. Plan to give these a good test at Leguna Seca Refuel next month with some fresh A048s

    Re-gearing? trade top speed for acceleration

    Would like to start a discussion about the feasibility and possible trade offs if we were to change the gearing (final drive) on the Roadster. I still love my 2010 2.0 Sport but am ready for more acceleration! As it is I have my Tattler set to automatically select Performance mode when driving -...

    Driving (not charging) in Range Mode + 24-hour 270 mile Road Trip Review

    I've been doing something similar with Tattler V2 for some time now, in a manner that lets me just plug in and walk away. Here are the typical settings; charge mode range charge target 60 charge limit 33 cool 25 per 1: daily home 0545 <charge target 180. charge start> My car is set to charge...

    Roadster Owner Based Study of Battery Pack Capacity Over Time

    FYI Here is some anon data from weekly Tattler v2 service posts; Car#1 Odometer 31,649mi CAC=150.60 Car#2 Odometer 27,637mi CAC=150.18 Car#3 Odometer 37,094mi CAC=147.02 You can manually get the cac value with, not surprisingly, the 'cac' command. Perhaps more useful: 'odo. cac' to get...

    Coolant System Problem ID: 1465 - I cannot charge anymore

    Not sure this will help, but from the Tattler alert database; 1465, "HVAC: Low current pump fault" You might wonder why the HVAC system might stop charging, but it's also used to cool the battery during charging (esp. in Range mode). I dont hold out much hope here, but try charging in...

    What is the target temp for the battery if the car is plugged in?

    You can go down to 13A in range mode to get cooling cycles and minimal energy use while giving more time before range mode charges the battery more than you might wish. Note, you must be on a 200V+ circuit - unfortunately cooling does not occur on 110V (unless the battery is >40C) The car...

    OVMS Installation

    Hi Folks, From the Tattler's comprehensive database of alerts; 934, "DMC FW: Line OverCurrent Peak fault" 1174, "Fasten Seatbelt" 1463, "HVAC: Compressor OverTemp" You might want to talk to your ranger/local service office about those other than "fasten seatbelt".

    Tesla Tattler Available

    Announcement: Tattler v2 "set and forget" release now available Hi Folks, I'd like to announce a firmware update for users of the Tesla Tattler. Several of the new features in the release support the theme of "set and forget", so that where ever you go in your Roadster you can simply plug it...

    Changing Drive Mode On The Fly?

    I have an experimental feature in my Tattler that puts the car in performance mode automatically, immediately after start. Now I drive around in performance mode all the time. Nice to have the extra oomf by just putting putting the foot down. It's come in handy many times ;-)

    Tesla Tattler Available

    Sorry Tattler not available for model S at this time. Tesla will have/have an app solution for the model S. It will be interesting to see model S owner's feedback on that. - - - Updated - - - Yes, the Tattler supports all models of Roadster, even 1.0s. The Tattler uses a GSM GPRS modem to...

    Thermal Cooling running off of 110V?

    When experimenting with tattler cooldown I really wanted 110V cooling, but never saw it happen. Makes sense that it only happens at 40C, which is higher than I usually see here in San Diego. Tattler cooldown requires 200V+, overrides to range mode and uses the minimum 13A to keep the energy use...

    Should EVs Make Artificial Sounds at Low Speeds?

    So is there a realistic engine noise maker product out there? One that will respond to throttle blips, under load acceleration, over run, idle burble etc? A basic simulation could be done with an inertial sensor, for the blips and other effects need throttle position data too. We're thinking of...

    Short and sweet J-1772 to Roadster adapter - lockable

    Yes, I charged at 70A no problems at the Rabobank Goleta using a prototype. A fellow roadster was getting 'extension cord' detected VDS messages using the Tesla extension, no such nags with Henry's master piece. BTW, Having an early access prototype, I've racked up a couple of months charging...

    Wanted 110v charging cable

    Thanks for that Eric, but as you now know I have a RFMC (at home) and custom cable for Nema14-50/14-30 30A charging. I'm still interested in getting another Tesla 110V cable (or just the Tesla connector) for another project. Same offer and interest - just some time has passed!

    Screw range anxiety, I have mpg anxiety!

    Every time I rent I car I ask for an EV. Maybe they'll take note. I hate renting (gas) cars since I've switched to an EV at home. It's so annoying when tight for time for the airport to have to find a gas station, stand out there in the elements with blaring music and blaring ads, dealing...

    PG Elektrus

    Gosh that is so ugly. Looks aside, the battery weight (200kg) savings vs Roadster (450kg) intrigues me - imagine the performance & handling improvements if the Roadster battery was that light!. Any detailed technical info on the battery; based on 18650 cells like TM?

    J1772 Charging for the Tesla Roadster

    <referring to hsharpe "Short and sweet J-1772 adapter" on page 22 of this thread.> That is awesome. So portable. How do I buy one or get components and build one? I presume $200 does not include the Tesla connector ;-) Speaking of which, is there now a source for these, even used?

    How many Tesla Owners are Vegetarians/Vegans?

    Omnivore just starting to pay attention to the inefficiencies in meat (esp beef) and dairy production. Shame as I love both but starting to cut back.

    Roadster Owner Based Study of Battery Pack Capacity Over Time

    Just sent in my data for 2.0 sport @ 18k miles. I've been using the Tesla Tattler for several months with the cooldown feature, which should show the battery spends more time at a lower temperature, but also at a lower state of charge. It will be interesting to see how this compares with the...

    Wanted 110v charging cable

    Wanted, either the complete 110v cable assembly, or would also be interested in just the Tesla specific plug end for the Roadster. Needed for a custom cable adaptor project. Will pick up any where between San Diego & LA area, also possibly SF area. Will pay shipping & handling from elsewhere.
