- Tesla Model 3 battery removal. Removing a Tesla Model 3 battery as part of a bigger project to build an interactive EV training vehicle. This Part Two deals with all the fasteners and components underneath the car. Part One (another video) deals with the fasteners on the topside/inside the vehicle.
From what I could see there is little protection for the bottom of the battery unit. A small bend or puncture could be the beginning of a future fire.
Looking forward to seeing the failed plastic coolant lines interacting with the battery. What a big deal that will be. Love it!
Haven’t the older teslas had that issue?😊
“Looking forward to failure ”?? You are just a one negative hater aren’t you? Pathetic!
Hopefully in about a few years, we can swap out the entire battery module for less than $10k and still keep your EV going,
Hopefully in about a few years AND CONTINUE TO PAY OTHER 22K MORE!!
The answer is NIO Power swap👍
You can already do that right now. Just go to a salvage yard, there are lots of low mileage model 3/y batteries. You can pick one up for $3-4k. 😂
@@caesarsuper5770they’re going bankrupt probably this year. So good luck with that 🥱
if a BEV battery fails it’s normally some electronic part or a fuse or even just the sealing the umbrella valves need service after 8 years. Can also be some few bad cells so you can open the lid with oscillating tool with a special Milwaukee blade. Replace one or two modules and recalibration easy fix. Don’t need to replace whole pack.
@7:30 Look at that oil filter on an EV. So maintenance free!
😂😂😂
Hey, Teslas were never intended as maintenance free. Yes, they have filters that have to be replaced, but not nearly as often as a internal combustion engines oil filter.
So Maintenance free until you need a new battery $60-$90,000. Oh that ain’t bad let’s buy another electric vehicles.
@@michaeldanforth3059 you can't be that dumb
@@michaeldanforth3059 Who ever said EVs are maintenance free? And where did you get those numbers from, I'm curious? Because a model 3 doesn't even cost 60k 😂
How many hours of labor involved to R&R battery?? thx
I’m excited for the EV future. Just waiting for plaid motors to depreciate enough at the salvage yards then I’ll put one in my model 3. 😂
😂
What a disaster! The Tesla originally supposed to be designed for quick battery swapping. Obviously that Idea went away. Years ago I was an engineer working with battery/electric fork lift trucks. They were designed for quick battery swapping. That was the way to keep the trucks in operation. That battery looked very vulnerable to damage and ultimately fire.
It more interesting how expensive it is to replace the batteries !How many EV buyers can afford a battery replacement if it costs 30000 dollars or more !Replacement could be real if something hit the battery case while driving which has occurred in USA.The repair cost more than buying a new EV car of the same brand eg. Kia ionic 5 .Many EV driver would not be able to buy for a new battery replacement if something like this happens striking the battery case from down under .
The Bolt takes about 30 minutes to swap out a battery - a dealer near me was able to do 4 per day (packing the battery up took longer).
The battery provides the energy to enable the motors to work, right? It only takes 5 mins to provide an ICE car with fresh energy to make the motor work.
It doesn't take 5 mins to swap an engine though @56Gumball
@@Alex-lc1bv This is true, but not relevant. We are talking about the energy source, ie. the battery, which enables an EV to drive. In an ICE car the liquid that goes in the fuel tank is the energy source. We are not comparing changing electric drive motors vs. internal combustion motors which would be a fair comparison.
@@56Gumball Just bow out of this one bud. You lost.
@@Trialnerror And exactly how have I lost? Please explain.
If you are going to charge your EV inside your garage, then install a smoke alarm over your car that is interconnected to the other smoke alarms in your house. That way, when the battery goes into thermal runaway whilst charging - and don't delude yourself that "that will never happen to me" - at least you will be woken up so you dont burn to death in your sleep. And despite what Musk says, it happens to LFP batteries, too.
Ouch, improper lifting on the rear, should've had the car parked a bit more back. Too much lifting on the pack, not good to begin with.
That motor looks like it has an oil filter cannister (w/ Tesla logo) on it?
Yes. Each Tesla motor has an electric oil pump that keeps all the bearings and gears in the drive unit lubricated. I’ve heard that the filter should never have to be changed because, unlike a petrol engine, the electric motor doesn’t create any combustion gases to contaminate the oil and filter.
I thought the permanent magnetic motors on the Model 3 did not need/use any lubrication
@@dwnrange7812 My Model 3 has one permanent magnet motor and one induction motor. Both motors have self-contained pressurized oil lubrication systems and each has its own oil filter. The oil on each motor also flows through a heat exchanger that allows the cooling system to remove any excess heat from the motors. These are state of the art motors with the potential to run for 1 million miles without needing any service according to company founder Elon Musk.
If you are interested in knowing more there is a UA-cam channel called Munro Live that disassembled the motors (and the rest of the car too) and explains how they work.
I knew it, aliens blood is blue.
On tesla video, took only 3 mins to replace battery
Tesla fanboys out there. Does the CT have a warranty and is it voided if you cross a river? There was not much stopping water getting into that battery on the Model 3
Its water proof like a cell phone, i drive through fairly deep water due to my driveway every day and my tesla is over 10 years old with no problems.
That garage job is a nightmare.
Not a game, peoples' livelihoods are at stake investing in what is essentially junk.
That’s a whole lot of coolant water around that battery.
Why were you removing the battery?
We were making a demonstration training vehicle with this Tesla. The battery went to Dalhousie University for research for a power wall.
Great now stick a 7 KW generator in it.
Should work great as a hybrid.
Because, eventually, EVERY ev will need it's battery changed. 🤨
@@kennyfordham6208 Every gasser eventually needs brakes transmission, and maybe an engine if the cars not a death trap by then. So what's the point.
With your average Tesla, that is 1,000,000 miles before the battery needs to be replaced. Let me ask you bro, when was the last time you owned a car with even 200,000 miles on it?@@kennyfordham6208
It seems obvious to me that you are not Tesla technicians. Personally I wouldn’t get in that car, so the love of money to risky I just hope it doesn’t catch fire when you’re in it ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Good thing, no oil leaks. Nothing to oil.
Try it on a model-y 🙂
Better than hyundai ioniq cost 60k for a new battery
Half a tonne battery.
Everything you buy with a cord is only going to last a little while.
Won't last long .I have threw away so many tv's over the years.Going to break sonner or later. 😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢
10 grand ... oh my god. NIO NIO NIO ...
JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK.
Ice is dead get over it already....dinosaurs
About 1.5 billion ICE vehicles on the road. They're not going anywhere fast.
In 2023 1 million EV's where produced.
It'll take some time
@@stuartburns8657 only 1 million in 2023? Tesla is on track for about 1.8 million this year alone
@@givanildosouza6904 Might have only been Europe my bad.
Either or, even if 10 million a year are being made world wide, you are still looking at 150 years.
Of course, man y of those ICE will of course be dead by then, but you get my point I'm sure :)
Those that have already gone to ev are not going back....they are superior to ice...facts
It’s not dead yet but when batteries get to about 80% energy density as oil/gas/diesel then oil will only be for rockets and jet engines. It’s coming slowly but surely. Them carbon nanotube batteries gonna be the end all to ice. People just don’t understand simply plugging in at your home for waaaay cheaper and waking up to a full tank of battery, they can’t comprehend it and until they experience it and how badass a Tesla is, they gonna hate. Haters gonna hate until they see and then they gonna be on the band wagon.
Hopefully in about a few years AND CONTINUE TO PAY OTHER 22K MORE!!
If anyone was thinking there’s nothing to break on an EV, just study the incredibly complex cooling systems to the battery, motors, inverters, onboard charger, MCU, etc. Leaks on ICE cars are a big concern, and trust me, there’s way more opportunities for leaks on EV’s. Yikes.
No one thinks that. But certainly there are way less moving parts on an EV. There are over 10k moving parts in ice which will highly likely break or leak and way less on an EV. But for sure something will break but lesser chances.
@@hopefwam Turns out you are wrong. The data shows EV’s are less reliable than ICE. Don’t be a data denier. Look it up. Lots of things that don’t move fail all the time. Sad EV’s are less reliable.
@@hopefwam Perfectly agree on that. The main difference is, if for any reasons, the electronics related battery management, or even the battery cooling is involved, it could be catastropic to the wallet. Spills on an ICE vehicle are a bit cheaper to fix, because it mostly does not need a complete replacement of a critical/expensive component. The closest it comes to is the engine and transmission issue, still relatively cheaper to fix, with refurbised parts. Just some 💭
@@howardj602 I do agree with the average life of an ICE vehicle. But most of these vehicles are used in backup duty, with total mileage around 150K. Whereas, you could put easily 400K miles within 8 yrs on an EV. New batteries cost about 20K, but there should be cheaper options in the refurbished market. Also there is lot less maintenance cost during that time as well. Definitely BEV's can be made cheaper, without all the fluff as some made in China in the low 20Ks.
ICE engines and transmissions are cheaper because they're more numerous now. As more EVs are produced, more components are also manufactured and costs will come down simply due to economies of scales.
What a dreadful hunk of crappy cheap design.
A massive monolithic battery pack is cheaper and easier to build than doing it properly I guess.
If the batteries were in at least four individual drop down boxes that were sealed and insulated from each other and no massive openings into the cabin and a proper seperate replaceable impact absorbing armour plate/s protecting them these massive virtue signalling wanker mobiles would be significantly safer and somewhat cheaper to repair.
