Got my gtech competition last night and went out to do some runs but cant get the damn thing to work.

I have it set up and mounted on the windshield however in drag mode when I click ok I get the staging signal and it just stay there. Once I start moving for about 10 seconds I get the launch signal. Even if I do a rolling launch it does not seem to calculate the hpw.

It seems as though the acclimeter needs recalibrated as the instructions say however I got a piece of paper inside the box that says whaever you do dont recalibrate.

Any ideas before I recalibrate?

Thanks

Call GTech (Tesla) first.

It acts that way when it needs to be recalibrated. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual to the letter and you'll be good to go in just a couple of minutes.

I've had this happen to me also, even after calibrating it.
Just tilt it either alittle up or down once it's on the windshield. There's a sweet spot for it to know it's level. Took me a couple times adjusting it before it read ready to launch everytime.

I thought one of the big improvments was that it self calibrates?

Adrian, have you done any 1st gear runs? I got 140 hpw with the canzoomer. I am just trying to judge if that is on par or not.

Also what is the base weight you are using? I used 3200 lbs. I am aprox 170lbs

Check this site , 2nd questions talks about your issue.



I sold my CZ before I got a chance to test with the gtech pro. I was getting around 150hp with the car stock. Weight greatly affects it. I have the 6spd w/ sport pkg and weighed it at a drag strip, it was 3170 with me in it ;185lbs.
Use 3155lbs if you have the same setup. If you have the GT pkg, it will weigh more. (motorized leather seat, sunroof, dvd,..etc).
