How many roadster owners active on TMC, and what type of roadster? part 1

  • May 24, 2012

    Interested in how many roadster owners there are active on TMC, and what type of roadster they have.

    The poll allows multiple-choice, so can handle owners with more than 1 roadster of different types.

    If you have more than 1 of the same type of roadster, don't vote, but just let me know in the comments and I'll update the tally manually.

    Up to 34 today, with a surprisingly high number of v1.5 owner active here.

    Early on, we were all hungry for information. As I imagine Model S depositors are now. The Tesla run forums were OK - at least they weren't public at that point - but were missing that extra energy the other enthusiasts brought to the table. Then those went public, the high level of skilled moderation here kept things from going all Usenet or AOL on us, and I think many of us feel like we need some outlet for a shared experience. Plus, everybody here is really cool.

    I expect that with the right searching/processing of all of the posts (signatures and user titles) on the forum (and maybe a little human analysis/verification at the end) that someone could get a fairly accurate idea of about how many roadster owners, or previous owners, have posted and maybe even a fair idea of version/model breakdown.

    Are you offering ;-)

    There are 6,400 members on the member list here. Its probably doable, but a lot of scraping involved.

    So far, the poll here is up to 49 responders. Nice mix of cars. I'm really glad to see so many v1.5 owners still around here - show real dedication.

    And, after a couple of days, we're up to 55, with the v2.5 cars now edging ahead.

    The forum definitely changed with the advent of Model S, both in volume and tone. I used to be able to read every post, would check back in later in the day ... and maybe only a handful more to read. Now, not a chance I could ever keep up, even if I made it a full-time job.

    Hi, PV-EV. When I met you guys (about a year ago?), I think I mentioned this picture of lovely Talkeetna that I happened to catch just as the garbage truck drove by:

    We really liked Talkeetna...but that sign, in those surroundings, made me laugh!

    Agreed. This wasn't just the Roadster to Model S transition, it was also the case for the 2011ish to 2014 transition.

    That color is simply amazing. Couldn't find one when doing the CPO from Tesla, but the Very Orange was my first choice. Ended up with Thunder Gray.

    Pictures don't do it justice. Very Orange has a lot of depth to it. You have to stand next to one to appreciate it.

    I think I just beat you to a CPO very orange. I reserved the one below in 7/2013 and took delivery 8/2013. At the time, I was told it was recently re-listed after the original reservation holder decided on a Roadster Sport in Very Orange instead.

    Lucky me :), although my first choice was yellow. Just couldn't fine one.

    With this color, I would really like to get the carbon fiber kit and black forged wheels. However, due to cost I'm leaning towards a CF wrap instead to get that look. If anyone wants to swap their black forged for my silver forged wheels, please PM me!

    "300+ mile range Roadster..at highway cruising speed!"

    Is that from those aero mirrors and other enhancements or should that have been 300+ km not miles?

    The inspection should be interesting, as the registration expires the month before the safety inspection.

    Yeah, what's with those mirrors? And that antenna in the middle.

    Okay folks, this is my first post. I am here for possible help with my 2.5 sport roadster because it appears fine but doesn't run due to a fault in the battery. I don't want to spend $41k to fix it. I may eventually figure a way to jack the car and drop the battery for repairs myself. We'll see. But note that my car is a 2011 V2.5 Sport for your survey.

    The Tesla-applied paint protection film on my 2011 Roadster Sport was yellowing and dull. I had the film removed, paint corrected, and instead of a partial wrap, had the whole car done with the self-healing Xpel. It looks new again! I'll post better pics when I get them, but took this one when I arrived home this evening.

    Did you do anything to your wheels? My black forged fan-blade style wheels don't quite have the same sheen as when they were new. Short of re-powder coating them, I'm not sure how to make them look better.
  • May 31, 2015
    bonnie
    I haven't noticed a loss of sheen on the wheels - biggest problem is keeping them clean to begin with ...
  • May 31, 2015
    ra-san
    I've heard the coatings like cquartz, etc. are worth using on the wheels as a way to keep them cleaner and make it much easier to clean them when you do have to. I don't have personal experience to verify though as I had the black forged wheels on the roadster and never bothered with a coating. On the S I did do cquartz on the wheels, and they are staying clean, but it's just been a few months. Not enough time and dirt/brake dust to form a real opinion yet.
