Re: R32 Skyline with Tesla Drivetrain
Love what you're doing Chris, especially the commercial versions of the inverter controller, displays, etc.

Can you post some links to the press that you've received for the Skyline? I'm sure readers would be interested in just how much exposure your projects have received

Re: R32 Skyline with Tesla Drivetrain
Yes, great read that article. And a great pleasure to be part of it
I wonder if we could slip "openinverter" into one of these articles or videos

THE TESLINER: ZERO-EV TYRE SLAYING (here)
"Slaying tyres and saving the planet. Not necessarily two things you’d put in the same sentence. However here at Gymkhana GRiD, we are are always looking to the future; and our latest rear-wheel drive entry to the season ending finale on September 7th, is a shining example of low [exhaust] emissions hooning!
Meet the ER32 Tesliner EV. An impressive mix of 90’s Japanese metal, and cutting edge electric powertrain. Specifically, it’s an early 90’s ER32 Nissan Skyline chassis coupled with a Tesla motor and Chevrolet Volt batteries."
