Just saw your VESC video and the image of your “factory” is the “Center for Advanced Energy Studies” building of the university of Idaho. I doubt they are manufacturing your VESC, so this is not cool to use.
So if the platinium uses higher grade components that the normal grade VESC, can you elaborate in more detail on which component the cost is cut in the normal grade VESC ?
I thought that all Enertion VESC were not assembled in the USA. So what is the difference in the assembly process between the platinum and the regular VESC ?
In brief, what are the differences between regular and platinum ?
only the 1year replacement warranty is added - that is why you can add the warranty to an “old” VESC which will basically give you a “platinum” one. It is just branding not special components or anything.
NEW VESC - Every single onboard component is purchased from US-based suppliers.
OLD VESC - Most Components sourced in china, except a few parts that cannot easily be sourced that came from US
NEW VESC - Made in USA
OLD VESC - Made in china
NEW VESC - 1 Yr Replacement Warranty (platinum version)
OLD VESC- 60day warranty
NEW VESC - Made to IPC A-610 Class 2 Standards
OLD VESC - Fuck knows - china standards
NEW VESC - sexy black matte high quality PCBs
OLD VESC - Shitty looking PCBS made in china
We are only selling one type of VESC from now on, they are all made in US.
Option 1: No 1 yr replacement warranty ($129USD)
Option 2: “Platinum” Comes with 1 yr replacement warranty ($159USD)
So for $30USD you get a 1yr replacement warranty.
What does that mean?
If your VESC fucks up you get a new one shipped to your door immediately. Some basic evidence will be required. Like a screen shot of an error code, or some kind of photo showing melted parts etc.
