Move inside the car. Interface module is inside now.
Run the motor up in neutral (100A is too low, even for neutral!)
Duplicate the test with 300a maximum on the motor. It runs fine
Put the car in 3rd gear, then run up the car. I didn't check the speedometer

I am struggling with that 100Amp figure in Neutral.
I have no first hand experience but that seems like WAY more current than should be required to spin up a flywheel.
The display in the cabin said 386V, if that is correct and the current was 100A then isn't that 38.6 kilowatts?!?!
At 386V i would have expected only a few amps being required to spin the motor in neutral.
Maybe somebody else with a similar set up could comment on the neutral spin up current requirement but my guess is something is holding that motor from spinning or else a lot of that power is going somewhere other than the motor.
