@lia hiya, thank you so much for your detailed and helpful reply! I will have a look into everything you've said. I'll do a bit of reasearch into fixing it myself, and see how I feel about that first. Sounds like there are a few options there, so that's good to know!
@deeph Oh this might be a later model board where they removed that data :/
Give it a balance charge overnight and see if it improves much. Over time of leaving it a little longer after you see green you may claw back some range.
If not the only other way to measure is to take it apart and measure with a multimeter at the battery connector.
I have labelled the 2 pins you can measure without unplugging the battery but be careful not to short them.

@LOAFFETTE Sorry for your experience! I know I'm bad at creating new topics instead of bumping the old ones. If the forum ever has one alike.
But on that particular case I thought the thrill about video ~3 years back adds some context to it. Because its "FM x TFL" discussion point. Interestingly enough Bodhy have swiched sides in meanwhile. Yet we still haven't seen Tech-Rails, Craft&Ride, Land-Surf and many other 3rd parties even slightly featured in FM's social media as TFL now has repeatedly been.
... material people use on surfboards/paddle boards for the Onewheel grip? That rubber diamond shaped traction pad type thing?
Sounds familiar to EvoGRIP™ Diamond Stud ? StickyFeet -- they've been trending throughout various media platforms lately. Somewhat 'next level' new solution after numerous dif griptapes, foam-pads etc.
(No personal experience, tho.)

I hope to attend a really big onewheel event this year, and meet some people in the VESC community.
I'm also hoping to waterproof my board and to develop a couple cool things I've been cooking up, one of them involving a helmet addon
@chippmover
Congratulations on joining the Onewheel community. You have made a fine choice.
Just ease into it, no heroics, the skill set will improve with time on the board.
I started riding at 68 years of age, and am currently 70. I ride every day, and enjoy every mile.
Be safe my friend!

@loaffette Big oof 😶
Idk. It is priced at what the PintX was so technically still better for the money but I'd still want those little QOL bumps for an S series.
Also that screen snippy you posted shows that bumper edge they mentioned which I couldn't spot on my first viewing. Pretty big so maybe that is for the rail guards like they suggested.
It may quiet down as the tire wears, but it's not too loud as to be annoying.
Quick follow up with about 150 miles on the ThunderCat. I would say the noise level is about half what it was when new. On some surfaces you can barely hear it, but the hum is still there and definitely keeps me informed in real time as to my approximate speed. Overall, loving this tire, great grip both on and off pavement. :D
