    Roadster 3.0

    I haven't seen a comment yet from owners who have plenty of range in the current version. I don't drive mine particularly far and am not motivated by a range increase. Also looking to the future when my Signature might be collectible. Any comments on whether upgrading might reduce...

    Vendor Aftermarket CF goodies for the Roadster - Feeler - Lets make it happen

    Would love to consider CF door sills for my 1.5. Rubber original equipment is shabby and easily worn. Just lost the knob to my dash light dimmer switch. Anyone know of a replacement source?

    standard tires on 2.5

    Anyone look at or install Bridgestone Potenza RE 970 AS Pole position tires on the rear? According to specs, they are identical size to the AD07's with 835 revs/mile and come with a tread life warranty. Test results on Tire Rak look good too. I would like to know if these tires create regen...

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    Not sure this is the best place to post, but the first 100+ Roadsters are about to pass out of warranty coverage. Any word from TMC about extended warranty to the early owners? Have you done anything to safeguard against future expensive repairs that could be accomplished under warranty? Jeff...

    10,000 miles in 7 months- who loves ya baby...

    Coming up on 20K at 3 years. Recently had my cooling pump replaced and 2 sheets of cells in the battery replaced. Apparently they were not performing properly. I am getting ~181 miles per charge in standard mode. Currenlty on the 3rd set of rear tires and about to replace original front...

    window adjustment

    I haven't had mine adjusted and found the hard top leaked a little washing the car, but so did the soft top. Hasn't been a big problem. JG sig47

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    Last week, I took my car in for minor maintenance of the sound system and fogging headlights. I was told I was the first to receive the new fog-free, heated headlights. From my understanding, they have been in the works for a long time. I have been "complaining" about the problem for over a...

    Where are they now? The first 100 Roadsters

    #47 is doing fine in S. Florida. Just had my fogged headlamps replaced with heated ones (under warranty). Still waiting for an upgrade for A/C. Also need rear tires and would like to hear if anyone has changed from the factory originals to a longer wearing type.

    South Florida Store Opening

    Great store, but too bad the weather was so terrible. I drove my car and left early because I was concerned with high water in an electric car. Probably not the smartest place to be in a flood. According to John Johnston, the service manager, Teslas can drive through 6 inches of water. I...

    Anyone have the hard top?

    hard top I have a hard top and like it for the hot rainy Florida summer. Personally, I like the look of the car with it on and feel that it is a little quieter and roomier than the soft one. Just removed it yesterday and was really thrilled to have my open roadster back. For temperate...

    Electron Drive

    Anyone know anything about this company? Electron Drive Seems to talk about everything from lead acid batteries to ultracapacitors and everything in between with no details. One of the principals says they are on track and serious??????

    Elon, Lutz on Letterman

    Musk on Letterman Pretty disappointing episode. Letterman talked too much and satisfied his urge to pontificate and clown which forced Elon to react and speak too fast. Certainly no earthshattering announcements despite Elon's attempts at the end.

    Tesla Increases Prices for Existing 2008 Orders

    It was my understanding from the beginning that the battery pack in today's dollars was ~$20,000, not the $30,000 quoted in Elon's letter. Am I remembering this inaccurately? Also, with normal use, it was to have lost ~20% of its charge in 5 years. Does that mean it will be useless in 7...

    Roadster sales - Tesla business model profitable?

    I think you have to temper the reports of 1300 orders since it only took a $1000 deposit to create an order. When it comes down to paying the balance on delivery, the 1300 claim could change radically.

    Fisker Karma

    Other than the UTube video of the zebra painted car, has anyone seen a Fisker Karma move? I think they look great standing still, but that is not the point.

    Doug, Thanks for the follow up! Having been starved for information for so long, it is great to see it really exists and is moving forward. Jeff

    Thanks to the team! Great to see hard evidence finally. Also interesting to see the radiant red next to the fusion red.

    Production/Delivery Status

    I would like to know if anyone who has recently been to Menlo showroom can verify that #47 is on site and possibly post a photo. Living in Florida, I rely on the sporadic photos that appear on this thread for information. Been waiting 2+ years and agonized over color combination-radiant red with...

    Tesla resale

    It is hard to imagine that any of the early purchasers would be interested in reselling for a trivial profit. You should be aware that Signature 100 buyers, who are the first non-investors scheduled for delivery, prepaid the entire purchase price about 2 years ago. It is also likely that these...

    Next Tesla store location(s)?

    Miami locatoin As a Signature buyer in Boca Raton, I have an interest in the dealership location, because like it or not, I anticipate being there for various reasons on an ongoing basis. Clearly Tesla isn't making a decision based solely on geography or convenience or it would be located...
