Looking to buy a donor car

I am looking to purchase a donor car. There is one available that is a 2015 s p85d. The ad says that it only drives slow, so it must be in limp mode. The error message they are showing is that the battery fuse replacement is required. But it is also showing it is in service plus mode.

Re: Chevy Volt Inverter Still Used?

I have a volt inverter and have the board ready to be made. But I am having a hard time justifying ordering 4 of them to just experiment with the inverter.
So I am also interested in this information

Re: Ford Eluminator- have you got yours working?

I am starting to gather parts together to try and get one of these spinning. After reaserching this forum and other sources I am thinking the Chevy Volt Inverter in parallel will provide the necessary power. I am going to with Jack's board to control the inverter.

For the motor inwas looking at ...

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board

This is also a replacement board that I think works with gen 1 leaf inverters that connects open Inverter brain to it.

Anyone familiar with this and if it still works?

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board

I was hoping to match both the replacement board and zombie. I am under the impression that replacing the board will allow you to go past the 80kw of the stock limit, and zombie will.allow you to control it via can bus.

Re: Leaf Gen 1 Inverter Board

I have read this post and would like to order a gen 1 leaf board. Is Damien's design for jlcpcb.com? The BOM is not in the right file format(easy fix) but then most items are not available.
Thank you,

Wiki update for inverter limits

On the wiki there is the table for the current supported OEM inverters, can we had a column to it that has max KW achieved with either zombie or oi inverter?
I will try to gather this information from the forum, but I am sure people already know this off their head.

I have read a lot of posts on here. Some great information. I was wondering if there is a comprehensive list of the pros/cons of the two different options. Replacing the logic board or using ZombieVerter?

Like for the ZombieVerter conversation being limited to 52MPH, is this an issue with the logic ...

Re: Ford Eluminator- have you got yours working?

I am researching this a lot as I am in the planning stages of a project. It looks like the telsa model 3 rear drive inverter can spin other motors. This looks promising when they fully develop the openinverter board. The mach-e motor can go up to 210kw and it looks the m3 rdu can go upto 234kw so ...
