    EV West has a Redshift... and a ****load of Alta batteries

    Can someone with the inside knowledge say if buying a few of these batteries as spares makes any sense? Have they ever gone bad, the batteries themselves, not the connection wires?

    Should I ride it...

    Awesome! That's the way to ride safely! Some like to run studded tires in the summer too, if they have many slippery roots.

    EV West has a Redshift... and a ****load of Alta batteries

    I asked in another thread, but I am going to ask it here as well. Are there any companies or individuals who repair Tesla batteries?

    Broken display - solution?

    Does anyone have experience with fiber optics? I am thinking about relocating the display out of harm's way entirely and attaching a couple of fiber optic cables to it -- one to see the yellow warning light and the other to see the green bezel indicator. Will these cables be visible in broad...

    Broken display - solution?

    I forgot that on the EX(R) the display sits ahead of the handlebar. This is why it breaks! @Trialsman -- I would round all corners to make this this aluminum block less menacing and anodize it black to make it appear smaller.

    load / resistance spec for aux / 12v circuit

    And does the circuit then restore itself back to normal operation after you key cycle the bike? So is it safe to fiddle with the AUX connector without having to go to a dealer to reset anything or clear fault codes? Yes, I am also curious if a fuse may be needed.

    EX In Desert South Of Boise

    I would keep the bike in the bedroom (covered with warm blankets!), then move it into a warm van when I am about to go riding. Then, when riding, the battery should stay warm.

    EX In Desert South Of Boise

    This *might* be slippery. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Yes, I would definitely add studs if I had to ride this. I actually did ride the woods in winter on a mountain bike a few years ago. It was fun if the snow wasn't too deep. I eventually added studded tires for confidence, in case I hit bare ice.

    Battery care -- winter riding and hibernation

    Re-watching this video again, after having read all the stuff on this great forum, makes a whole lot more sense. It might be possible to convert the Redshift to using 1 or 2 of these. They are 27 x 11.5 x 3.5", which is too big to be a direct drop-in, but perhaps cutting it in 2-3 pieces is the...

    Battery care -- winter riding and hibernation

    Yes, Teslas do have battery heaters. Maybe coolers too, I just do not know what kind.

    Broken display - solution?

    They might be able to sell/exchange new LCDs to current SOL owners, after removing or not removing any identification marks from them. Or exchange the complete PCBA. That is if they are the ones soldering everything together. Waiting for @John Lindemann or @SuburbanDad to do that...

    Battery care -- winter riding and hibernation

    I am not quite sure what this means. :unsure:

    Broken display - solution?

    Looks like these two guys with such displays have tried this already. Can anyone recognize that pyramid-looking "SC" logo? @SuburbanDad -- Would you be able to separate the LCD and take a look at the back side of it?

    Broken display - solution?

    You can also install some trip meter app on your phone. Hope you have been keeping track what maximum distance you were able to go when riding your local trails. I think it is 35+ (??) miles of leisurely off-road riding for most guys around here: How Far Have You Gone?

    New speedometer display screen

    There are no new displays anywhere that I know of. Alta was out and was building a new batch the day before the shutdown. Dealers are unlikely to stock such an expensive item. New displays are now all on new bikes. Your best course of action right now is to wait. Use a trip meter app to...
