    HVAC Refill Procedure and replacement Condenser

    Working on getting #803 into shape. I have finally sourced a replacement HVAC condenser (if anyone needs one, will be posting pictures of the newly fabricated one). No SC nearby so need to take it to a regular HVAC shop. I haven't found a comprehensive guide here for the procedure to replace...

    Brake Pads

    Tacking on to this thread. Working on getting my norway-bought roadster to be road legal in the rest of europe (technical inspection) Braking was really poor on the roadster, I suspected multiple culprits: - Car had been sitting in Norway for over a year. Lots of rust on rotors - Braking fluid...

    Europe Roadster adapter to Typ2-connector for use 43kW-charger

    I got to this thread searching for solutions to charge in europe with type-2 chargers. I recently saw a swap of the roadster charge port to a type-2 port. It looked clean and seemed to work. It was reversible to preserve originality, and as good as hcsharp's solution is, not having to add an...

    Roadster Charger not working - how to take it apart?

    Ok, yep, I'm an idiot. I had initially pushed the slider forward, but for some reason the first time I tried charging, it didn't work. I tried at a different place and now it did work. I wasn't sure if pushing it forward was the right thing to do, as the light in the chargeport would turn off...

    That 3-ph to 1-ph sounds really interesting. Any news on what your friend has done with them?

    Roadster Charger not working - how to take it apart?

    Have a bit of a situation here. Had my roadster delivered today from Germany, where I left it at a roadster specialist to ship. When I tried charging the roadster with the wall adapter (sorry, new here, don't know the technical name yet, is it a UMC?), the roadster seems to think it's not...

    Hey fam! I'm back, and happy to report I'm now the proud owner of a Glacier Blue roadster acquired in Norway! Super happy with the acquisition (crazy story I'll tell once I'm done with all the logistics), although it had some issues with cooling that prevented me from driving it around Norway...

    I've got one, but not looking to sell it. Could use it as a base model to make a copy if there's enough interest to make something like 10 of them?

    I see, that's not terrible? What should be the range for a 2-year old battery that hasn't been driven much? Are you able to tell the model from the VIN though?

    What type of range do you get with that CAC? What could such a low CAC signify?

    Got in touch with Tom from IdleLoop and he fixed the bug that was preventing me from parsing the logs, thanks Tom! What an incredible community this is! Ok, we got a VIN starting by SFZRE2B12B3000*** Is it possible to tell the exact model? from the logs, the last values recorded: range soc =...

    I think it's more incompetence than malice. Not a private party, so I don't think they know what they're doing.

    Alright! Happy New Year to everyone... it's been a while! After months of calling, emails, text messages, and pestering the seller, I finally got some logs for the roadster I've been eyeing! But it looks like they tried removing the VIN number and expanded the .tar file. I've tried the...

    Howdy folks! After literally a month of calling three times a week, the dealership selling my top choice roadster in Europe finally attempted extracting the logs. These are the instructions I sent them: The information is retrieved via a cabin USB port. In the Roadster, it’s under the center...

    Do you have the name of the third party? are they running out of stock? What type of range/hour does 18kW AC charging get? What do people do at home? I thought it was common to use a regular tesla wall charger with an adapter?

    I think it's different to own one and have stuff done to it, vs buying one and tagging a 30% price increase the following week.

    Makes sense! It looks like the body work is glass fiber? Is that correct? Is there a good place to buy replacement body panels?

    Thanks for your message! Regarding... 1) What do you mean by DC charging capability may be closing soon? 2) Assuming a standard roadster charging capabilities, what would be the idea fastest charge time at public charging infrastructure - i.e. if I'm doing a roadtrip, the chargers I could find...

    Today's Roadster Orphan

    Seeing a bunch of the reasonably priced roadsters that recently sold being flipped on eBay and other places. Makes me sad that people are speculating with these cars instead of buying them to own them. I think it started after that article on VIN #2500 selling for a million. Still looking for...

    Hey folks, I've been perusing the forum for a while, and have had all the intention of making my next car a Tesla - my thesis for vehicle acquisition: either air cooled, carburated and collectible, or electric. So I was initially going to get a Model Y... and then I thought that I don't...

    Model S Test Mule?

    Doubt it's a self-driving tester. The thing on the roof would be a lot smaller, not as flat and generally look more like a spinny radar. Here's a Google self-driving car for comparison. Looks a lot more like an extra battery pack. Notice there's a cable going to the charger area. It would make...
