So... after driving whole summer, some thousand km with the overworked PEM with no issues what so ever two days ago I took little angry baby for a spin in heavy rain... cold, around 1-2 deg.C and the battery at about 14 C I got not much power (not more than 100 kw)... after driving 2-3 km and while accelerating a popping noise from the back like I went over something... seconds later two or three other "pops" and immediate powerloss on drive train... So got the car to a safe pullover and - been there, done it, got the t-shirt - was pulled back home by an old ICE again.... Turns out that on megapole C (the very outer one) at least two of the igbts had blown up, some debris in inside PEM (but dry)... no visible view of a broken insulation e.g.
I called the guys in Switzerland (GS technology) to take over from now on since I don't have the will and time taking a deeper look by myself....woul
Car will go to Switzerland coming Thursday and PEM overworked beginning next year... Looking forward to make my first trip home the having to use a HPC while traveling....
And the Visium Hardtop will probably arrive when the Roadster is not here... Kudos... I wonder how I can still be that calm....
