Changed the clutch fluid on the electric motion escape X, now it's totally DEAD

I swear I can't touch anything without breaking it. I got a 2024 EM escape X and tried to do a simple clutch fluid swap. You know, like drained the old and put in 260mm of new oil... now the clutch won't engage at all. Zero pressure.

I've tried everything, from filling from the bleed nipple, then completely bled and refilled the whole system again. I'm totally stumped.
Also, I rounded the thread on the drain plug (told you I break stuff). Does anyone around the Virginia area know if I can just grab a generic replacement here, and what size it actually is? The parts list is useless!
 
Looks like air got into your clutch system when you changed the fluid. You'll need to bleed it, starting with the master cylinder and working your way down to the slave cylinder bleeder. Make sure you use over 260ml of fluid. Also, for the drain plug, grab some calipers and measure the thread pitch. It's probably either M10x1.25 or M12x1.5. Any motorcycle shop in Virginia should be able to find you a match once you know the size.
