Popular Post Patton250 Posted August 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2019 Dear Gotway, It has become increasingly apparent to me that you have an adhesive shortage in your country or at least at your factory. If you like please let us know and we will be glad to send you some so then you can finally have your stickers work properly on your wheels. We mastered stickers here in the United States back in the 1920s. We would be glad to pass on this non-top-secret information to you. Thank you. Sincerely, The USA 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Nikolas in a row for me and the stupid labels are coming off. Lol. Heck the word Nikola in small letters on my Plus a corner of it was sticking up and sliced my finger open. A stupid sticker cut my finger open! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already did the mistakes they can make with the electronics. Gotway electronics are extremely solid now. No need to worry about those. Stickers are new for them lol... maybe getting it right from the start is too easy or something 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 So on the topic of stickers, I put a strip of clear gorilla tape over the Gotway Nikola letters. Anyone had any ideas how to stop the giant GW from peeling off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotway electronics are extremely solid now. No need to worry about those. They got the electronics right a year ago with the MSX, being solid is a toss of dice for Gotway. They seem to be fluent in taking a few steps back every now and then. 45 minutes ago, Blank said: Anyone had any ideas how to stop the giant GW from peeling off? 1) Disconnect the mainboard. 2) Heat the mainboard with a hot air gun. 3) Once the glue starts to melt from around and under the Mosfets, pour the glue under the sticker. 4) Press the sticker in place for a few seconds. While this method hasn’t yet been confirmed, I see no reason why it wouldn’t work just fine... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Pamplona Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Have you all seen THIS video on Facebook? They apparently fixed the sticker issue. Now, how do we get a hold of a couple of these improved stickers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotway should send a ton of those things out to the dealers so the dealers can send them out to us. The Nikola is such a beautiful wheel and it’s Achilles’ heel are those stupid stickers.

From what I understand, that video was taken at GotWay headquarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rywokast Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) the stickers are ugly anyway and have no reason to exist... at least on my nikola, there were no screws under the stickers on either side, so clearly they are unnecessary.. even if you want to take the stickers off the shell looks terrible underneath them lol they should just get rid of that cutout.. i dont think the problem is the stickers they are sticky as hell.. the problem is they slap them on to a shell covered in some sort of oil or release agent, obviously theyre not gonna stick worth a damn to that, they need to clean the area with alcohol prior.. the hideous silver stickers, main GW logo, and GW logo pedal risers were all peeling within 24 hours.. yet my matte black ACM those ones stuck on rock solid the entire time i owned it, and the ones on my tesla are perfect.. its only whatever greasy stuff is covering the glossy nikola shell Edited September 26, 2019 by Rywokast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
