Yep, sounded somewhat familiar (I'm aware Tesla used IXYS IGBTs in the Roadster and believe they use them in the Model S)These are in Roaster motor controllers, ~84 of them, with output of 240kw.
It's kind of surprising they went for a multi-IGBT solution instead of smaller hybrid modules, like Toyota and GM decided to use for the drive inverters in the Prius and Volt, respectively. This might be because the power output is unrealistic for available IGBT modules.
