Last weekend I noticed the date on my car was wrong (October 15th) and now that I've pulled a log file I can see that it has reset to the year 2000. The last good date seems to be 10th December 2019. As well as being annoying, this has trashed my log files - I can't see anything in the...

Should be here any moment

My brother is interested in a CPO Model S but there appears to be no info about whether it is possible to cancel and get a refund of the £4k deposit before delivery, or returning the car after delivery if it isn't up to scratch. He has some questions before putting the money down like what the...

I've just seen this one twice. Once last night when I got home with a low state of charge (41 miles ideal in range mode on a 3.0 battery). It happened again this morning when I got to work - this time the battery was at 63%. Any idea what it means and if I should be worried? Some suggestion...

Large building fire at Tesla dealership in Crawley - live updates

Looks like Tesla will be holding the European launch of the next gen Roadster in Switzerland in a week. Remember when Roadster owners from across Europe were invited to Switzerland for the Model S launch back in 2012? Hint hint: Surely the crowd you want to be at the new Roadster launch are...

I was wondering if there is a Roadster HPC in Luxembourg, maybe at the Luxembourg City store and service centre?

This is another one of those whack-a-rat stories that will not go away. Last year there were reports of electric vehicles causing higher particulate matter that ICE, based on the false assumption that because some models are heavier, they must cause higher tyre and brake pad wear. It ignored...

That don't read the Roadster section...

Specifically, is PEM and cooling fan cleaning a standard part of the service schedule for a minor year service?

Anyone from here own the orange Roadster at ESTEC the past couple of days?

Piecing together anecdotal evidence, it seems that the 100D pack is at 169 or 170 Wh/kg. - Is that right and can anyone confirm it with a source? - Is there anyone else out there with a production pack that beats it?

What is this and do I need to worry about it? Happened after a 2 hour drive when I hooked up to a 60A charger.

The supercharger at Exeter Sainsbury's has been permanently removed and is being replaced with generic 11 kW charging posts. While the value of having superchargers in a supermarket carpark is somewhat dubious, it's a little worrying that this is happening without a proper replacement ready...

Tesla Roadster unveiling in Santa Monica

I was passing a destination charger earlier today so I tried plugging in using the Can. Short answer is it doesn't work and throws a pilot signal error.

Hi, On an old Tesla map of HPCs there is a private location near Caen. www.electric-highway.com I have searched for info about this one, but nobody remembers (even the map author). Does anyone know who it belongs to please? David

Tesla Hackathon taking place this Saturday in Clerkenwell for those interested.

Amen brother... I drove my first Tesla 6 years ago — and I still believe it's the best thing the company has created Some 3.0 VDS pics here too.

I am looking to get information on the QCA7000 Homeplug PHY chip. Specifically a "memory map" of the PIB file, i.e. what value could be found at which offset in the file. In particular the TX attenuation/amplification. See evse.sh uses offset beyond PIB file length of 8080 · Issue #48 ·...

Any Roadster Owners in Japan here?

If any local fancies a meet up - I am in town and will be visiting Nauna's at Montclair tomorrow lunch time (after 1pm). Naunas Bella Casa It would be great to put faces to names if you can make it!

I've seen talk before that Tony Williams / Quick Charge Power was looking at creating a JdeMO upgrade for the Roadster. Is this likely to happen now that the RAV4 one is available? Reader Rides: Quick Charging a 2012 Toyota Rav4 EV with CHAdeMO | Transport Evolved

Rumor is Elon is showing up.

Today ITM Power has opened what was described as "The UK's First Public Hydrogen Refilling Station" - see M1 Wind Hydrogen Fuel Station | ITM Power This was funded by InnovateUK - i.e. your tax. The great and the good of energy policy makers, strategists and the low carbon crowd were there to...

My Roadster is due its MOT (annual inspection) in the UK next week and the rear tyres are a bit near the legal limit. I'm still in the Netherlands and not having much time to change them back there, and wanting to stick with Yokohama AD07s which previously seemed to only be available through OEM...

On Thursday last week I decided it would be an interesting trip to drive the Roadster to Stuttgart for the weekend, calling in at Darmstadt to visit friends working there on Friday night. Knowing that Talkradius has an HPC just across the border from the Netherlands and that I could get a slow...

LS swapped Tesla. Your argument is invalid.

Assuming I can make it through the Channel Tunnel no problem, I will be bringing the Roadster to the Netherlands tomorrow. My plan is to use the HPC at nSolar in Bruges, before heading to a meeting in Sint Niklaas where I can get a 16A top up for a few hours. My main concern (apart from being...

I joined the Tesla Owners Club UK Facebook group. It seems everyone is charging all over Europe on their holidays. Trips to the south of France and Italy without a care. It's a beautiful thing :)

Looks like Tesla are opening a store in Weybridge. First I heard about it was a notice of the opening event. I have to say that when I was in Heathrow last week it was worryingly quiet. Do they need another store in the vicinity this soon?

Can an S60 be upgraded to an S90?

Earlier this week I was in Cornwall and had to take the car over some pretty rough roads. When I was driving back on Wednesday night I slowed from 70 mph for a junction when I heard a bang (like something hit the underside of the car, followed by metallic rattling for a second or so). The car...

Spotted this in Welt Am Sonntag. 'Fraid my German isn't up to translating it but there seems to be some EV bashing going on.

Thanks.
