Woo hoo!

That's a happy hybrid screen!

Had to post the quickie news flash because I wanted to finish the rest of the assembly/final torquing so we could take it for a spin tonight.

When I first turned on the ignition I got the triangle of death and the hybrid system red flashy car icon.

I was worried but still had hope that after I finished bleeding the inverter coolant it would be fine. You have to turn the car off and on a few time and bleed in between and the third time I turned it on the bad lights went bye bye. I started it up and the ICE ran and charged the battery.

Now I must eat and recharge my batteries.
