BTW, their phone number provided traces to a female in a land line in Ohio, for what little it's worth. I would say there's about zero chance the landline left mommy in Ohio, and walked to Fort Wayne like a cell phone could.

LOL -- haven't we reached a point where this has become a bad joke that perhaps the mods could take care of? Well played, SD_E, well played.

great solution. very cool. best wishes on the sale.

Works like a dream! Thanks! VERY easy fix (though I tested the new cable before, and after, with a continuity test to be overkill safe, to make sure the correct pins were fed the correct juice, just to be extra safe after fixing/improving). For me, I used a GCFI 9 inch extension with reset...

I'm grateful that they did not waste my time on my now sold one. :) Dodged that bot-bullet. ;)

congrats to buyer and seller on the sale. :)

If I could delete this thread I would. I am fixing the cable for the new owner, based on the several threads discussing the design defect of "tesla" 120v cables. I have no interest now in buying a used cable that is going to also quickly fail, due to design defect. Thanks.

Honestly, my friend, I have to defer to the guys who have debated endlessly the pros and cons of slow, low amperage, charging, versus faster higher amperage charging. All I know is my personal experience, and I notice NO substantial difference in electricity cost, personally, between these two...

Just moved from my old place where I had the 220v. Never used the 120v. Moved to a place I don't know, so rented until I know it better, and don't want to waste good money giving the landlord an RV nema to use my UMC here. Long story short, sold the car. And of course, per murphy's law, on...

Yes, Rolf. Had a 220v charger nema installed in my old house I just moved out of so I could use my UMC. Moved to an area I really don't know, so I rented. as much as I despised the 120v charger even before it started acting fussy, i Didn't really want to spend $1.5K+ or whatever on somebody...

Really sorry for your experience. :/ Only drove outside of range before returning home once. Had to plan it to go to the Barstow, California Koa. I hear they used to let people charge for $10 or whatever, but the owner decided now "you need to rent a space." For my situation, given no other...

I'm just scratching my head on how inconceivable it is Tesla wasn't quickly aware of a design defect. I use my 220v one. The amount of times I've used the 120v one is, well, less than six. :/ Which parallels how darn quickly it's happened to you. Working now, but I trust this thing no more...

Just for kicks, I went over there to take a look. Yup. Found it and a very long list of checkpoints passed on the car very easily. Funny comment, Mlauto, because, well, it's true, LOL. Oh, great license plate! Well played! ;)

Thank you again. Sorry that so many owners are experiencing basically, exactly the same problem, grateful for your sand the teams help toward an incredibly easy permanent fix. :) New owners call what we do, but to me, even not considering radical cost differences, sounds to me like there's a...

Thank you, everybody, and to the person who directed me here. My roadster boards closed transport within probably hours to new owner, and just like you, 120v had the same symptoms, and wanted to wait until now to spring this on me. ;). It's working now, but I just want it reliable for the new...

Thank you so much. Will follow up right now. I appreciate your help!

My one of a kind stock lotus aubergine purple tesla roadster gets on closed transport, probably tomorrow, for the new owner. And Murphys law, when I go to give it a final charge off of a 110v, the 110v cable acts fussy. "test" like didn't work for 60 seconds, and it took me 90 seconds to fuss...

Sold for full asking price. The buyer may disclose themselves if they wish. It's not my place. BTW, this is a GREAT car, and I'm positive I'm going to miss it, so part of the deal is I have "right of first refusal." Which mean, IF he sells, I have a right to match best real/confirmed offer and...

Nice catch. Nice car. Wondering what's up with that. Sorry for the reason for the sale. :/

They do really nice work. Almost had them work on mine. Best wishes on the sale.

Fingers crossed. It really does look good on that silver.

Best I keep it with the car and the top that needs the bag. If anything changes, however, (stranger things have happened), and I end up with it, I'll contact you to see if you would still possibly want it and we'll take it from there. :) Thanks so much.

Thank you, Chad. It's only been six days on a listing, but for some reason, it already feels like an eternity. Thanks so much. best, sterling

As we all know, said the master of the obvious, and nothing really matters until the sale is complete and everybody's moved on. Further, it's a big pain to sell Teslas outside of this community. So for the sake of getting things done, let's do this. $65,000.00. Thanks. Hope you're having a...

Here's a bunch of pictures, as this seems easier than uploading a bunch here. Most are from starwood (good photographers, other than lack of detailing and the break rotors, car now looks -exactly- the same, as well it should, after 1700 more miles or so and the rest of time in a garage)...

Here's to hoping you find a miracle worker who can repair with the CF look. Just sorry you have to deal with all this, bec yes, that would work, but sadly, as you point out, "sucky" it is. :/

LOL -- thanks as to the original point of this thread. Just went through a number of listings to take a look, and I have to say, I was rather taken aback by how many people who had no desire whatsoever to even consider a particular listed car were "helping" others or "helping" the OP by dumping...

I've never personally heard of -unpainted- carbon fiber being repaired like that, so best wishes dealing with your !@#$#@$ insurance company. Really sorry. :/

Hi again, Hank. thanks. Truth is, I haven't driven a visual attention-grabbing car for many years, and I forgot to the degree that I really truly don't like it, personally. Plus, i had talked to blue and silver roadster owners, and they said "nobody really cares," so I relied on that. All i...

This is that exact car. :) I had it brought in from there in closed Transport. If you look carefully at the right side of the windshield of my icon pic, you'll see the obnoxious texas window registration that took like two hours and some peanut butter to get off due to Texas apparently using...

Just sent a nice person from the board who asked about 40(?) pics in a zip file. Work is crazy busy, and though I intend to post those pictures here as well, it might take a few days. I'm a really awful photographer, but I'd be happy to grab any pic you want that I don't currently have. :)...

nice car from my zip code, LOL. Used to have one. Congrats to both seller and pending buyer. :)

The main reason I bought this car is because it's purple, and thought to be one of a kind. I really LOVE true purple. Heck. Even my *toaster* is purple in THIS shade, since I'm highly particular about purple shades I like. Sorry, but taking what's thought to be the only "true purple" roadster...

Not exactly as to the reason for selling. No, I don't drive my carbon fiber on aluminum frame body, no side air bags car here, or anywhere else, like a madman, LOL (i.e., driving "so far over the speed limit"). I haven't even been even pulled over for decades for any reason, let alone have a...

Either I'm imaging things, or this board doesn't allow edits after a certain time. :/ Oh well. Maybe I'll have to just relist from scratch when I have it together. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

#744 by cswolfe posted Jul 20, 2015 at 7:27 PM#744 by cswolfe posted Jul 20, 2015 at 7:27 PM WILL CLEAN UP THIS LISTING OVER THE COMING DAYS. I have many many pictures, that for now, I can send you in a zip file if it doesn't sell before I get them posted. Bought the car one year ago...

great thread. thank you.

Will do, but when I bought it, I was written immediately by several people who wanted to, lacking a better phrase, "take a number," in case I ever sold. Sure. If they all pass, if I've not changed my mind about selling, I'll do that. I don't know if the leather interior was standard, but I...

Let's talk, Hank, if you feel the same way (or anybody else who might want it, but Hank gets first dibs). Moved to a city where the traffic police are just nuts, and I don't want to find out how much attraction this gets, so it has just been sitting in the garage, plugged in, unused. I'd...

Agreed with much of what you said. It would be slightly out of character for Tesla to get all the publicity they achieved with all components of the 3.0 upgrade and then just never get around to it this ... well ... this century ... sometime. The way I understand Tesla works is "maximum...

1) Very happy for 1.5 owners who now get to play too, if they wish. 2) I'll always be bummed that packs in great condition pay the same price on the battery trade-in as the most worn packs in the field, or theoretically, bricks. But oh well. 3) A few days later on the battery order than...

Amazing to me that people think pedestrians, which Elon says "It should not hit. Hopefully," drivers of other cars, passengers, and others have somehow relinquished their rights against a car company who puts beta software in the hands of owners which includes the small percentage of idiots...

I'm so appalled by "Kristoffs" comments, without reposting them, I wouldn't even know where to begin. No matter what AP or Tesla does, sorry to see that for now, we'll still have a group to apologize for Tesla and blame everybody but Tesla, who just put lethal software "beta" in the hands of...

Exactly. So many times where good communication would be great for the company, great for customers, instead of a cluster. Here's hoping that the first people to support Tesla can get their 3.0 batteries (if they want).

thanks for the thread. I haven't had my roadster for that long, and I needed this information, as "the brakes seem fine," but what I understand now, with this help, is that in an emergency, unless measures are taken "okay brakes" will become "not so much." Now I know what to do. :) thank you.

I hope it does for everybody else, too. But quite honestly, that's the only reason I'm buying now. I don't want to go to the website one day, want to hit the button, see "out of stock," ask them for an ETA (which they won't post, because well, they don't on any other parts), and be told "no...

NOT anticipating it, to say the least, but I'd feel better about the battery deposit I just put down, if with the addition of a software tweak, the roadster "3.0" would then be faster. You guys know far better than I whether it's theoretically possible, as it was with model S's that got battery...

Yes. Though I cannot contain my disappointment that my battery with 12,000 miles on it will get no more credit toward the 3.0 battery than somebody else's battery dead or near death. :/ But look at the website roadster order items. A vast majority are sold out, and if you ask when they will...

Ultra rare problem, of course, but I hope in August (year 2023) when the roadster 3.0 upgrade is released, that our new batteries will better protect themselves from long sits with low charge, because I'm hard pressed to see the downside of having that protection. :) Tesla: You can't 'brick'...

Well, here's to hoping I have the same experience. :) Only had my roadster a short time, and I just noticed that the top bar of the "A" is missing, no big, but I sure hope I can score the whole badge for the same price. :) Even though it's no big deal, I had better get on it, as I've found even...
