"Interesting" event this morning. Air temp was down near freezing. Controller heatsink temp reported as 0C. Switched on as normal. Into reverse , handbrake off , give it some pedal. Nothing. More pedal. Nothing. Even more pedal. Next thing the right side back tyre lays rubber on my drive and i headbutt the steering wheel. Lifted off the throttle and all back to normal. Car drove perfectly all day. Any ideas? Seemed as if the pwm had ramped up to full but was not getting through to the igbts. Or the igbts were hibernating. Or maybe something like in Lethal Weapon 2 when they froze the toilet bomb ...
