Bricked Tesla

Recommended Posts

Last week, had a sweet day riding with some friends in PDX. This was the first day I actually rode with others in a group ride setting on my new Tesla V2 bought from ewheels 8 days before.  Put about 15 miles on the wheel, then charged up to 100 percent.  Went for another 25 miles, pushing it hard.  It had some a strange feeling when taking off, like it was slipping/clunking.  I felt like I was overpowering it.. I took it for one final ride and ended up get a sever cutout at 15-17 mph.  Guessing since my phone was dead, and I was pretty clueless on voltage.  It felt like it tilted, then cut out and put me on my shoulder.  Luckily it is sore, but not broken.. Anyway I contacted Jason at ewheels, he sent me out a replacement mother board.  I had to switch out the xt60 to xt 90 and purchase some soldering supplies.. but was on a mission to get back on the tesla.  I spent most the day swapping out, melted one xt90 while soldering, had to drive an hour to get replacements.  Anyway I swapped it out and everything worked.  So relieved I don't have to send it back.  I felt like I was bringing my board back to life.  Anyway, just a shout out that I am back on the road.
