  • We took apart a REAL Tesla Model S Motor! Thanks to our sponsor UBTECH for making this possible! Get the JIMU Robot: MeeBot 2.0 Kit at the Apple store, apple.com, or learn more at apple.co/2OHnx9N
    This is the same rear motor that is in the model S and X. Tesla learned from the Original Roadster, made this motor, then came out with the new model 3 and Y motor. Even from 2012 the inside of this is super advanced technology.

    That is amazing.... especially the computer triad area. It is a sturdy design surviving those punishing/ jarring roads with pot holes and bumps .... then looking at the the home computer/lap top mother boards and knowing they are very sensitive to breaking when dropped.
    The home computer/lap top companies need to come up the same durability for their motherboards as did Tesla.

      The motor is on the body of the car, which is shock mounted, so this motor sees no more and no less road shock than the stereo inside the cabin... almost all laptop damages are done to the screen, which is mostly glass, or to the keyboard or HDD, which are mechanical, or to the power control systems, which are damaged by bad power sources. The electronic components almost never fail

      yes they took out the computer motherboards and the gearbox, but not the motor, I'm in mechanical robotic engineering and would've loved to see the electro magnet and coil design on inside the actual motor but seeing you'd have to angle grind through the thick can of the motor since I can't see a way to nicely take off the cap revealing the contacts for the motors electro magnet is a bit edgy on my end. It's disappointing but still fascinating.

    Very interesting video.
    If anyone is taking things apart: in the very least wear a pair of latex gloves rated high enough to stop chemicals going through them, and please wear eye protection, not only against splashes, but you never know if there's a spring sat under a cover that will launch out unexpectedly or a hose with liquid under pressure. Make sure you have ventilation too.
    Most products should have COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) sheets available, telling you the risks, dangers, and most importantly the information required for emergency treatment should someone have an accident. Make sure you read them and, if required print them off.
    Also: sorry if this sounds formal, but have a plan, a working statement, we have them for reasons: "if this goes on fire where going to do..." , "If we suddenly struggle to breath we will..." .
    I appreciate some people say the chemicals are safe, and they probably are in 2020, but time and time again (sadly) we find out that the "safe" chemicals are now dangerous. There's nothing worse than finding out 20 years later we should have used high protection protocols when working with them: why take the risk?
    And finally as others have said, unless you know what you're doing be very carful as electrical current can be stored for significant periods of time in capacitors.

These guys had, simple curiosity and little knowledge and their approach was as cumbersome as mine at age 12. Nevertheless, I had no idea of the electronics involved and can't fathom the curious hot rodder that doesn't have technical knowledge of electronics or an engineering degree to repair or hot rod these engines like we did with combustion engines.

      If you should do this you should use proper safety equipment.
      They never looked in the motor, they just dismantled the inverter(variable frequency drive) and the transmission. This could litterally KILL YOU. The capacitors can hold charge for years and touching them could result in a lethal discharge.

    High-Side and Low-Side refer to MOSFETs. Usually MOFETs are tuned to either high-side (meaning lower loss due to gate-charge and switching, yet higher series resistance), and Low-Side (meaning greater loss at switching due to higher gate-charge, but lower series resistance).
    The High-Side switches more often, and low-side stays on for longer periods of time... hence you have the two designs :)

The amount of screws is to make sure that the internal pressure does not leak due to thermal expansion.

    the inverter is the brains of the operation witch turns the dc to 3 phase ac using those computers and that means that the rotation is smooth without and with the bearings. however if you want to make it work again. you have to use another inverter. and tune it so that the motor can work again+ you have to refill the cooland and the oil.

    Automation technician here. This is extremely irresponsible. The coolant and oil are poisonous liquids with unknown effects.
    If you should do this you should use proper safety equipment.
    They never looked in the motor, they just dismantled the inverter(variable frequency drive) and the transmission. This could litterally KILL YOU. The capacitors can hold charge for years and touching them could result in a lethal discharge.

      @@bergssprangare He is probably thinking about industrial AC VFD's. Where you have large capacitors on the DC bus. Obviously not realising this VFD is powered from a battery...
      Anyway, any decent VFD will have discharge resistors across the capacitor bank, if they are still charged 10-20 mins after powering down you either have a bad resistor or a very badly designed product.

    You do have to change our the oil in the Tesla's "transmission". They literally tell you that when you buy one. It's just like any gas car, after a certain amount of time or distance you have to change the fluid or it'll start breaking down and boom there goes your drive train. Yes even in electric cars!
