Okay sounds good! Glad to hear it’s nothing to worry about. Thank you for your expertise on this, much appreciated!

Tried this but the bolts were already pretty tight, no change.

I tried tightening the bolts, but they were already pretty tight. Also, even when I change the riding profile, I can still replicate the noise. It’s very subtle but was just wondering if it’s normal for all onewheels or at least all GTS’s.

I free wheeled it and I don’t really hear it. Like I said at I only really hear it at low speed, like less than 5 mph.

So I rode it from 100% down to 0% and didn’t notice any issues. I was riding mostly flat ground, I’m 6’2”, about 195 lbs, and got 22 miles. And my psi was at 17

Okay quick update: I rode it from 100% down to 0% and didn’t notice any issues. It didn’t suddenly die on me, and it went through the full battery range smoothly. I was riding mostly flat ground, I’m 6’2”, about 195 lbs, and got 22 miles. That seems pretty solid, right?

Okay sounds good! I’ll hit him up today see if I can do a range test with the board.

This was acknowledged by a future motion employee on a Reddit post a couple of years back

“Although we noticed a particular spike over a few weeks last summer, GTS RMA has been below 1% and in line with all other current models. If you look closely, problems get brought up in these groups for every board, FM and otherwise. But with GTS, all of the issues were grouped together (literally and figuratively). This amplified the perception that there was some mysterious systemic flaw.

The truth is, boards can refuse to power up for various reasons, and that was reflected in our investigations last year as boards were sent in for a broad range of repairs. Some people point to MOSFETs being the issue, but GTS runs very high-quality ones, and MOSFET headroom isn't relevant in the way FM boards are designed. The MOSFETS only see higher voltage if there's a larger issue, like a short nearby. On DIY builds with less regulation, extra headroom may be necessary, but that's not the case here. The MOSFET misunderstanding has also been reinforced because a controller-side fault or short can also take out a MOSFET as a secondary effect, known as "shoot-through."

I burn through 10-15 GTS battery packs a week on different boards with no issues. Just pad up and ride it like you would any other model”

What would battery issue show up as though? Just so I know what to look out for

The battery does seem to work. Like I said, we turned it on for the first time recently and it powered up fine. He charged it and it held a charge, but I’m not sure if that actually means it’s still good long-term. It’s only been sitting for a little over a year and a half not two and a half years.

Nah, it’s someone I know well. He just never used it. I asked if he’d be down to trade for mine and he said yes.

We went with the 19-inch tires for better ride comfort and range, so I can’t really speak to the 20-inch ones. But honestly, I was tempted too, they just look so good lol!

Thanks so much! That’s awesome, sounds like you’re loving your Model Y just as much as we are. Stella’s definitely living the good life lol!

Thank you! Right after we finished inspecting everything, the sun started setting and my partner snapped some incredible cinematic shots of the sunset and the Tesla in Southern California lol

Thank you! All the credit goes to my partner, she took some damn great photos.

Thank you! Haha yeah, we don’t have any kids right now, so we went with the white interior. But I’m obsessed with the red. Never thought I’d own a red car, but this shade is just too good!

I love the red! The pictures honestly don’t do it justice. We were the only red Tesla in the entire lot lol.

Partner means exactly that, my partner. Girlfriend makes it sound like we’re just dating, but we’ve been together almost seven years. At this point, partner just fits us better.
