    that is the Tesla Logo the "T" logo I think if you click on it it shows an image of the logo that is trademarked

    Isn't this the Tesla T?

    When bonnie parked here roadster at headquarters (for santanarow event), she photographed a toyota tundra with tesla electronics (drivetrain?)
    could this be "model T" ?

    Possibly one of their many drive-train mules that they used to test new components before the rest of the car was ready.

    Hey TEG... How recent are those trademarks?

    Obviously the Model T is already taken by Ford. Funny enough, I knew a guy that worked for a dot.com startup 10+ years ago called modele.com, sort of a play on the Model T and 'e' for electronic (like etoys and all the others), that rented exotic cars. Ford went after them and they were forced to change names. They didn't last very long.

    Some have been around a while. I think the 'T' is from 2009.

    This one is actually a combo of logo marks #9 ("T") and #8 ("TESLA") on the listing from TEG.

    Have done IP work for $$$.:cool: Is there other trademark stuff you guys are looking for?

    Most patent and trademark stuff, through normal procedure, eventually becomes publicly available. My much earlier post just grabbed the tiny images from trademark searching, but for this I looked in the prosecution history (which shows all docs traded back & forth with USPTO) to get the best pics there.

    My wife is a jeweler ;> I asked for a Tesla pull and she cut this one out pretty quick.
    I ordered Joulere for my plate (for her, the car is mine though! But I thought the idea of having a jewelry frunk show would be cool)
    She actually made a ring for a forum member, which came out pretty badass IMO - this place rocks
  • Nov 22, 2012
    dsm363
    Nice work, she did a great job. It is amazing what people come up with from jewelry to custom remote control cars.

    I'm not that creative so ordered some custom Tesla T wine glasses for the next Tesla party. Will have a frosted 'T' logo only (thanks pharma5).
  • Nov 22, 2012

    You like my RC model S ;>
    I still plan to make some more

    My wife is actually a metalsmith (more than a Jeweler) and an artist. She would would make frosted glasses if I needed some. There is not much out there that is better to buy than make yourself (Model S is one of them but that would be different If I had 10x more money than I care to have)

    It's the battery replacement costs that are really scary... ;-)
  • Nov 25, 2012
    VolkerP
    Beg to differ here (as this is vital to my TCO calculation): :wink:

    If a 60kWh battery pack degrades to 70% after x years, it holds the same capacity as a new 42kWh pack, but has higher weight. It should be possible to sell it for nearly the same cost as a 40kWh pack for stationary use, e.g. grid power storage or emergency home power backup. Battery prices drop quite a bit in x years, so your replacement pack capacity is effectively the cost of the 30% degraded capacity (18kWh in this example) at time of replacement. Make sense?

    Lazy request coming up:

    Does anyone have just a wireframe of the basic Tesla logo? Kind of like the logo that get's drawn at the start of each of the Tesla videos? If I could be bothered to load Adobe CS5 to my laptop I could do an edge detect on one of the jpegs up-thread, but I've just rebuilt my laptop, so don't want to pollute it again, at least for a while...

    My plan is to blow it up to print on an A0 printer, then use it as a template to jigsaw-cut some MDF, then lacquer it with a black enamel, back light it, and have it on the 'feature wall' of my garage (that I'm about to start renovating).

    If not, I'll just blow up one of the jpegs and use a bit more black ink, the resolution isn't to important, it would just help a bit with the precision of the cut.

    Thanks for the link. I got my LED's from Costco (just for the Tesla T), but I was thinking about recessed lighting around the garage as well, these might be a good (and cheaper) option for that. Most of the grunt work is done now in the garage, so it's on to the "T" now. Had to wait for Christmas, and the arrival of a new plunge router :)

    **edit** My wife was considering getting this for me for Xmas, would have been an interesting option too.

    So here's my version of the Tesla T on the wall in the garage (part of a larger garage renovation that'll be finished this weekend, maybe!). The whole process went as planned, which is unusual for one of my DIY projects. I've got step by step pics if anyone cares, but it's basically 3/4" MDF cut out against a template printed on A0 paper (resulting in a T about 36" wide), routed, primed, spray painted with a metallic grey paint, then backlit using the LED strips recommended by Babylonfive (which are great - thanks for the tip!). I might still tweak the backlighting some more, the OCD part of me isn't happy that the lighting isn't quite even right down to the pointy bit.

    pete8314
    Sorry for the delay, I wanted to revise the way I backlit the "T" so that the lighting was a little more even. The photos are here.

    As you can see, I printed off the logo I posted up thread on A0 paper, making it about 36" wide (the logo is wider than it is tall, surprisingly). I then cut it out using a jigsaw, and a circular saw for the 2 straight bits. Then I routed it, and sanded it back until I was happy with the general shape. Luckily I have more or less every power tool anyone could ever need :)

    After than, I just spray-primed it (3 coats), then paint (5 coats), then the lights, which went through 2 iterations. For fittings I just used what I had lying around after spending about an hour in Lowes looking (and failing to find) inspiration. Basically just a few screws in the wall, sticking out, and a couple of recessed hangers on the back of the "T". Needless to say, I hit the edge of 2 studs when putting the screws in (I only ever hit a stud first time when I don't want to), so it took a bit of adjustment to get the T, and the top bit all aligned correctly.

    Looks better with the tip lit :smile:

    My projector broke a couple of months ago and I haven't bought another one( S took my money!) Maybe I should just replace it with a cool 'T'
    The projector's location was the only wall that would work... hmm movies, or 'T' (this would be a 'cheaper' Tesla for once)

    Fittingly, it would be right next to my electric helis and over our 'bar counter' + our walls are already almost Tesla red
  • Mar 4, 2013
    pete8314
    I've had a couple of forum members ask for their own 'Telsa T' as shown above and here, so I'm in the process of making a few of them. I'll cross-post this is in the Parts for Sale forum, but if anyone is interested, PM me. Cost is $300 delivered (US only), and is as shown in the photos - a dark metallic grey (a couple of shades darker than the Model S grey, and a bit sparklier). Note that there's a bit of work you'll need to do if you want to hide the wires, so some DIY ability is needed. In particular:

    - The lights take a 12v feed (from the supplied wall wart PSU). I've put mine in the attic above the garage, and run it in the wall to exit behind the main section of the 'T'. I'd recommend doing the same, or running it up from an existing wall outlet, but still putting the wire in the wall if possible.
    - The top section is connected to the main section with a small 2-core wire for power. Again, this is easily hidden in the wall, I just put a small hole behind the top section, and dangles the wire until I could grab it through the larger hole behind the main section.
    - Finally, both parts hang using standard picture fittings, so if you can keep your screws level, you'll be fine. I guess the top section requires a bit of skill to get it positioned exactly right, but I didn't do anything special aside from eyeball it once the main section was up.

    If all of this sounds like too much hassle, I could also mount the T on a back-board (painted in what I think is pretty close to 'Tesla red' for an additional $50. Just let me know if you want the power cable to exit straight out the back, or if you want it run in a channel on the back to exit at the top or bottom.

    Note, dimensions are 30" high, by 36" wide.

    Thanks, Pete
