    Roadster left to the streets of San Francisco

    I was curious so I had to stop by and take a look at it after work. The front splitter is in rough shape, but overall the car seems intact. No signs of life from the car and no exterior charger in sight, so battery is probably in poor shape. Brakes very rusty. It reminds me of those vine covered...

    Tesla take over at Madonna inn 2023- roadster drive.

    FYI, this weekend we tested the Eaton charger at Copp Dental Group. It seems to be out of commission for now as the payment terminal display does not work and it doesn't appear to take the credit cards.

    Break Upgrade

    I think some people have explored doing 4 piston brakes befores, and it seems like it requires quite a few parts to be exchanged as well as reprogramming the ABS system for full braking power. This is not meant to dissuade you from trying that option, just a word of caution. I believe some have...

    Survey: What Performance Parts Would You Want?

    Those are some good ideas. I like the option for having alternative Wheels and Brakes since it seems like they're so few available. What would a handling package include? Lower final drive ratio seems interesting. Here are some things that I have seen would be nice options: - Complete Big...

    Replacing Rearview Mirror?

    I'm not entirely sure how strong the mirror plinth or the mounting glue is. I did beat on it quite a bit try to figure out how to remove the mirror and it seems to take the abuse quite well. Although, it is worthwhile being careful as that would be an expensive mistake.

    Replacing Rearview Mirror?

    As long as it's the same plinth it should be pretty easy. Pulling it off it's a little bit firm but you need to pull back up towards the top of the windshield. Unfortunately GRP doesn't show the mounting plinth in the page's pictures so you may need to ask him for one. For my 1.5 I needed to...

    Falcon Heavy launch simulation - Roadster in space...

    Now that you jogged my memory, that sounds right. It did miss the drone ship. I don't know if it would have been recoverable. I may have be misguided as it does look like one of the boosters.

    Falcon Heavy launch simulation - Roadster in space...

    This weekend I went to Kennedy Space Center and walked through their newly opened Gateway exhibit. Hanging from the ceiling they had the core stage of a Falcon Heavy. I was told that this was the vehicle was the one used to launch the roadster into orbit. Pretty cool! 😎

    Oh man, I sorry to hear this. That was a really nice paint job! Would it be possible to repaint just the trunk lid? I think your matte color is better than the original paint.
