    Yeah that looks like brand new trans fluid to me. Somehow they shoved a shit load of fluid in the trans and you got it up to op temp and it basicly exploded.
    Not sure why the inverter overheated and after reading your posts again I see it did not throw any DTCS.
    Surprised no codes thrown. It's a real head scratcher but thanks for posting.

    The dealer can find very inventive ways to kill your car.
