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.

Eh? Didnt even take apart gearbox they only exposed the "bearings that roll around" after butchering/splitting the electronic modules from motors cage. They dont even know that Tesla doesnt even have an engine, Tesla itself is a motor(car)
@@sandro14esandro14e Ever here of an electric motor well a Tesla has one and we didn't get to see any part of the actual motor. We don't even get to see if its brush-less or not (but all the electronics in the first section points to it being brush-less i think but i'm not an expert). Your comment implies you think John James is disappointed because the motor wasn't a combustion engine and i'm pretty sure that is not the case. He seems to be disappointing because we don't get to see any part of the actual motor just the gear box and circuitry.
kye langrehr kind a wanted to see magnets as well, Teslas use electric motors that have two moving parts, and single-speed “transmissions” that have no gears. The company says its drivetrain has about 17 moving parts compared with about 200 in a conventional internal combustion drivetrain
1) called it an engine 2) pcb board 3) transistor 4) ooooh gears, how cool 5) OOOOOH BEARINGS!! 6) didn't even take the motor itself apart, just the vfd and gearbox What a great video, dude!
For one Batterie you need 20.000l of Groundwater. Lets say in Germany they produce 80 Mio. E-Cars. You need an amount of 1.600.000.000.000l of Groundwater ..
You know lithium and cobalt manufacturing is more dangerous for the environment than producing combustion engine cars? Look it up the vehicle itself might be good for the environment but no one talks about the production and manufacturing
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.
It's okay, not everyone is a basic condescending tool like yourself. Pretty sure most people don't even know the "basic components", but at-least you can appreciate having a glimpse of the internals that goes into the car that nobody else has done thus far.
Makes me wonder, what is more reliable, a good 4l gasoline engine or this "simple" motor. F**k, this thing has a million of electric parts that might go bad. Will it cost me to get another engine like this? And by now, I do not believe it would be cheap.
@@jkoonce4244 Huh? The Tesla fluids wear out just like ICE cars. The drive units are like transmissions/differentials that should be replaced every 50k miles for long life. Brake fluid and coolant need changing on the same schedule as ICE cars because the brake fluid absorbs moisture and the coolant loses anti-corrosion additives over time. You just save an oil change but lose that savings on more frequent tire and cabin filter replacements.

I was thinking the same thing. At least Rich knows what he's doing. This guy should send it to Rich when he's finished with it. At least Rich would put it to good use. They should do a video about doing exactly that!
I feel like I just watched a group of children with close to 0 knowledge on Electrical motors, and electricity, trying to crack into a Tesla "engine". Ruined it, and all we really got out of it is that there are "squishy" things inside along with "fluid" which they assumed was "oil" and "coolant". Didn't even get to see the actual motor area, the coil and stator! 🤦🏻♂️ Waste of a Tesla motor. 👎🏼
“Guess how many times I’ve had to change the transmission” Yes Dan... because replacing the transmission is part of regular maintenance on gasoline cars 🙄
I was gonna say "who the hell replaces a transmission as normal maintenance?" I've owned 9 gas cars in the past 19 years and have replaced 0 transmissions. The lowest mileage any of those cars had was around 70k when I bought them and I definitely ran them for 30k per year minimum except my truck which I commuted with for one of the five years I owned it and the other 4 it mostly sat quietly rusting. Current car is a Prius with 150k on the clock and original transmission.
Tears appart one heck of a piece of modern engineering & technology, then turns a ball bearing and goes "Thats where all the efficiency comes from, cruising down the streets". XD
And doesn't even open up the motor part. And even if he did, he wouldn't get it. Probably he would comment about a can with some twisted bar thingies sitting inside a copper and steel thingie.
@@samuellourenco9526 Right.. I thought this video was ridiculous. However, it was interesting to at least see the drive train a little bit. And as expected, it's not very impressive, just a small set of gears. Oh yeah, and "little balls that roll around". Lol. Imagine their awe if they took apart something that was actually mechanically complicated, like an automatic transmission.
because they are just butcher , chop chop chop. you want to know and get little understanding about how is tesla motor running. go to weberAuto youtuber and see the teacher explain the gear and the operation of the motor.
Wow! There's pcb in here! So advance Whoa! Gears! This is the coolest thing ever! This bearing is so smooth. This must be where the efficiency comes from
The PCB s are a so called power inverter EVERY electric car has one today. THE re mandatory for the motor to function at all. They are not unique to Tesla
09:14 Who knew Teslas have oil inside of them? Basically, anyone that knows what it takes to prolong the life of metal components operating at high speeds in high tolerance environments. 10:27 How do these things not get torn apart after years and years of use? Well, that would be why there was oil inside of them. 10:32 And look how smooth that is though. That's where the efficiency comes from of cruising down the street Has this man worked on even a bicycle? Basically, anything that has had a bearing in it?
Advertized as "What's inside a Tesla Engine?" then gets the entire motor, gearbox, and inverter assembly then destroys and takes apart everything BUT the actual MOTOR!!!
For starters they show their ignorance with the title...Tesla does not have an engine. Anywhere. It has a motor. Very real, and very different source of propulsion.
Purchased a new gasoline powered car that gets over 40mpg 15 years ago for $16,800 new. It has over 100,000 miles on it with no problems whats so ever. It does not go over 110mph and goes 0-60 in about 15 seconds and carries 4. Brakes and everything are still original. Had to change tires at about 75,000 miles and a couple of batteries for under $100. I estimate i have spent about 15,000 to 18,000 in gasoline. I am thinking about purchasing an electric car now, but not sure if they will last nearly as long as my current car and battery life after 10 years has not tested yet. It can be very costly to replace batteries. On a fixed income now.
You left the motor complete! You took apart the three phase inverter and the gearbox but didn't do what the title of the video says you did. You really didn't know what you were doing either did you 🤣
Blame the algorithm 😢. I was looking for structure of electric car batteries. You imagined he had some aptitude for taking tuff apart from title and channel name 🙄.
watching them use flux capacitor and arc reactor incorrectly makes me feel like I'm watching a bunch of chimps at the zoo playing with an on and off switch for the first time.
****Spoiler alert **** They never show the actual motor. I don't believe they know what it is. Spare yourself the exposure to pure ignorance and move on now.
@@OmegaF77 what the hell do you mean? There will be a point where you need to change that oil. Oil dosen't last for ever you know. I just know on engines the gas and diesel and combustion is why the oil gets dirty let alone the oil will loose its lubricity. When parts start to wear out causing metal in the oil is not good for the motor. Just find scotty Kilmer's video on sealed transmissions and why they need the oil to be changed.
@@PSNxFTWxRAGOI The oil needs to be changed in an ICE car, but not on electric cars (not practically anyways). By the time you need it to be changed, the entire car is most likely dead (1 million+ miles). The oil doesn't get dirty because there is no combustion. There may be metal filings, but it will be very minimal because there are only a couple of gears meshing together as opposed to an ICE car transmission with 7 or more gears meshing.
@@OmegaF77 You don't really know what you're talking about, mate. You're getting engine oil, transmission fluid, and differential fluid all mixed up as one oil. The gear train in the Tesla is more akin to the differential in a car and you usually swap the diff fluid in at 30k miles or so, depending on what you have. You will eventually need to change that oil. With work, oil loses its effectiveness over time, regardless of what it's in.
If anyone actually wants to learn something about Tesla electric motors, motor controllers or transmission, please watch something else! This "dumbing down" is indicative of everything that is wrong with society today!
Yeah i seen that grease in an IGBT we call it IGBT Buggers, I have touched it but have not touched it since i heard its really bad for you. Its a dielectric.
Being an electrical motor, it would have been worthwhile to have an electrical engineer or someone with REAL knowledge to comment on the parts that were taken off and their function. Nice to see the first rate construction Tesla put into these units.
"NoW wE oPeN tHe EnGiNe" Opens transmission. Ends video with engine still closed. This really is like watching the Kardashian's explain engineering as another commenter observed, this is shameful.
Hey at least they got a gig. Technical knowhow is not everything. You also gotta have the drive to make and become something. In most cases, the latter part takes you further.
Alright since it’s been nearly 4 years I vote that we see what’s inside a Tesla “motor” not engine, again! Bet it’s a lot better than it was just 4 years ago! All while ice car companies are digging 6 foot holes in the ground..
@@strawberryroan1941 ive got an 11 litre m11 cummins running a 16 speed manual eaton transmission and the engineering that goes into them both really is fascinating when you get to study them more closely.
Alex Middleton Yes they are super good engines. We have a farm and one of our tractors is a 875 Versatile with a 400 big cam cummins. Very interesting how it is basically a semi built into a tractor, it has a semi engine, and differentials but Versatile made their own transmissions. My dad got it in 1985 and it now has at least 20,000 hours. They were built to last those that's for sure.
Just viewing this video for the first time, 03:13, thermodynamics dictates to spread heat , you need a lot of surface area, those metal dots poking out allows for more heat from the electric work being done, which heats the coil up, to disperse it within that metal, fluid running across those dots would cool it down. The amount of screws is to make sure that the internal pressure does not leak due to thermal expansion.
He just acts dumb. He's a brand ambassador meaning he is told what to say for money. The dumber he acts the more outlandish the claims he can make in Tesla's favor without fear of repercussions. The dumber he is the more he can make
You opened only the VF Drive or you may call it "inverter". The 'computer' is just some microprocessors and control logic that are responsible for generating PWM Waveforms (basically just switching on and off very fast and in a controlled way to generate alternating current in shape of sine waves) which drive the Motor. Then there are some driver boards that are responsible for controlling the 'spark plugs' wich are actually power switches also called Transistors (either MOSFET or IGBT). They need gate drivers to switch on and off efficiently. The sticky stuff is to protect the power electronics, to isolate the high voltage and to reduce vibration. You then opened the gearbox wich wasn't the motor either...
The guy is an ignorant who has no natural curiosity. He does this for the money and the subs. All of his videos contains pearls of wisdom, or rather, ignorance.
@@ninjaslash52_98 Well if you want that, go to an engineering channel like Engineering Explained, Scotty or Chris. People who actually knows what they're talking about.
Honestly they should explain some of the stuff instead of saying this thng, that thing oh there are balls in it, o i dont know what that is its super sticky. The audience could learn so much..
Haha! Love the "smart" reactions when they open the gearbox section and inspect the bearings: "wow this one has small little balls inside of it" 🤣 Dude, that's a standard deep groove ball bearing...
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.
Reminds me of the internal layout of Apple's old "dustbin" Mac Pro.
What's inside Tesla power 2
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.

Ruined it, and all we really got out of it is that there are "squishy" things inside along with "fluid" which they assumed was "oil" and "coolant". Didn't even get to see the actual motor area, the coil and stator! 🤦🏻♂️
Waste of a Tesla motor. 👎🏼
“Guess how many times I’ve had to change the transmission” Yes Dan... because replacing the transmission is part of regular maintenance on gasoline cars 🙄
Usually when a transmission goes you might as well get a new car... Because when that goes the car is damm old.
If you drive a Dodge or Jeep then getting new transmission is just a normal thing you do once you hit say.... 15k miles.
@@HarryL2020 depends on the car. If you drive automatic yeah you should get a new car. If you drive manual it is a lot cheaper to get fixed.
I was gonna say "who the hell replaces a transmission as normal maintenance?" I've owned 9 gas cars in the past 19 years and have replaced 0 transmissions. The lowest mileage any of those cars had was around 70k when I bought them and I definitely ran them for 30k per year minimum except my truck which I commuted with for one of the five years I owned it and the other 4 it mostly sat quietly rusting.
Current car is a Prius with 150k on the clock and original transmission.
@@gforce95vn Thats a chevy, sorry to tell you.
"This is the gears, this is where the torque comes from!"
yeah, sure
In their fairness, they provide the mechanical advantage necessary to propel the car. So they are partly correct. 11% correct.
I’m thinking they didn’t show us that block back to gear set, probably is where power torque comes and/or is the electrical engine.
Curtis Veillon Exactly what i wanted to say, so back of gears is the electrical motor
I agree... this dude needs to review ice cream.. at least it's only ice and cream...
> takes apart a combustion engine
"Whoa look at this dude this thing has pistons in it! They move up and down!"
10:54 sorry didn't see the motor, saw the three-phase control unit & gear box etc
Everything except the damn motor 🙄🙄
Disassembling something by destroying it without any technical knowledge to understand how cleverly it was engineered...
That's hard to watch.
Tears appart one heck of a piece of modern engineering & technology, then turns a ball bearing and goes "Thats where all the efficiency comes from, cruising down the streets". XD
And doesn't even open up the motor part. And even if he did, he wouldn't get it. Probably he would comment about a can with some twisted bar thingies sitting inside a copper and steel thingie.
@@samuellourenco9526 Right.. I thought this video was ridiculous. However, it was interesting to at least see the drive train a little bit. And as expected, it's not very impressive, just a small set of gears. Oh yeah, and "little balls that roll around". Lol. Imagine their awe if they took apart something that was actually mechanically complicated, like an automatic transmission.
"What's inside of a Tesla motor" and doesn't open the motor, amazing....
哈哈 indeed, amazing
Hell yeah
...also said in the description it was an engine... Teslas don't have engines... they're electric.
@@ernie3nell yeah electric motors
It's from what's inside. There's not one of their videos worth watching.
Those Mexican guys in the back are my spirit animal of this video
They do not open the motor. Thanks for wasting 11 minutes of my life!
"whats inside a tesla motor"
*pulls apart everything but the motor
Should have titled it, 'what else is in a Tesla drive unit apart from the motor'
Umm they did open the motor, just not the gearbox
@@ThePurplePupUwU Ummm no.
TheRedGamerFPV there’s no gearbox in a tesla
They should titled it "What Inside Tesla Gearbox and Inverter"
Literally opened everything EXCEPT the motor and inverter.
I know baited
Exactly
All those pcbs was inverter itself.
@@renmaru4485 Yup, he opened the inverter, he just didn't know what it was.
Yeah ! wtf, I wanted to see the rotor and windings,, The computer tell nothing..
Unicorns are rhinos not horses lol.. Great vid
"Woah thats the high voltage area" Literally looking at digital logic boards
5v is high if you lick the terminals.
Jajaja
The title of this video should be :"Some Hillbillies see a computer and transmission for the first time"
lmao
LOL
they look as it came from another planet
Oh, I didn't know my car had gears and fluids inside! I thought it was magic hamsters that did all the work!
Dude you still didn't open the engine, you opened the inverter and gearbox only.
Actually they didnt even take apart the Motor.
Dmm...it's exactly like Mig29's engine starter motor. 🔥
“Taking apart a Tesla motor”
Inverter: ✅
Gearbox: ✅
Actual motor: nope guess not 🤷♂️
haha thats what i thought
lol.. yeah, maybe he wants to make separate videos for the motors
because they are just butcher , chop chop chop. you want to know and get little understanding about how is tesla motor running. go to weberAuto youtuber and see the teacher explain the gear and the operation of the motor.
no its apart of the wheels
Don't blame him he's just a rich boy just breaking things
"Computer, battery pack and this motor"
Points to the transmission...
@@Contrailing No, the motor is the stator, rotor and housing. The transmission is the gears and gear housing.
The dunning kreuger effect is strong on this one... ^^
@gblueslover2 Haha what a brilliant hint
You cannot even conceive being on his level of genius, Sander. It's impossible I tell you!
That’s not even a transmission, it’s just a gearbox
Wow! There's pcb in here! So advance
Whoa! Gears! This is the coolest thing ever!
This bearing is so smooth. This must be where the efficiency comes from
The PCB s are a so called power inverter EVERY electric car has one today. THE re mandatory for the motor to function at all. They are not unique to Tesla
@@xtremegamer3d480 PCB just means printed circuit board. He's using as a generic term to show how clueless they are about what they're looking at.
pffft
@Bob Saget PCB BOARDS THAT COST MANY USD DOLLARS!
@@IlBiggo buddy
Actually, the torque “comes from” an electrical motor which produces max torque at zero rpm.
That “sticky” stuff on the electronics is used to damp the vibrations and protect the components
what's it called?
Ijar Ijar što si rekao o mojoj mami?
Something like non Newtonian stuff
It's actually called potting gel and it's mainly to prevent high voltage arcing
@@TurboElectricLtd finally learned something from this video.
09:14 Who knew Teslas have oil inside of them?
Basically, anyone that knows what it takes to prolong the life of metal components operating at high speeds in high tolerance environments.
10:27 How do these things not get torn apart after years and years of use?
Well, that would be why there was oil inside of them.
10:32 And look how smooth that is though. That's where the efficiency comes from of cruising down the street
Has this man worked on even a bicycle? Basically, anything that has had a bearing in it?
it's gear oil from the gear box - e-motor has no oil just coolant - ur just as dumb
@@TownofJezza lmao you spittinn facts 😂😂💀💀
Town of Jezza let him have his moment
Hilarious you can’t tell difference between coolant and oil
@@tobywhitmore4777 Oil can be used as coolant, and guess what, it usually is. Transformers, gear boxes, etc.
Advertized as "What's inside a Tesla Engine?" then gets the entire motor, gearbox, and inverter assembly then destroys and takes apart everything BUT the actual MOTOR!!!
That's impossible with the tools they have. There are probably strong magnets, you can not open the lid. What they could saw on two parts.
@@xelth I'm pretty sure they arnt using permanent magnet motors or they would go to crap real quick with the heat they dissipate
Is the motor in the next video?
@@matthewcastleman1266 it is a permanent magnet motor, there are other videos about it.
For starters they show their ignorance with the title...Tesla does not have an engine. Anywhere. It has a motor. Very real, and very different source of propulsion.
Purchased a new gasoline powered car that gets over 40mpg 15 years ago for $16,800 new. It has over 100,000 miles on it with no problems whats so ever. It does not go over 110mph and goes 0-60 in about 15 seconds and carries 4. Brakes and everything are still original. Had to change tires at about 75,000 miles and a couple of batteries for under $100. I estimate i have spent about 15,000 to 18,000 in gasoline. I am thinking about purchasing an electric car now, but not sure if they will last nearly as long as my current car and battery life after 10 years has not tested yet. It can be very costly to replace batteries. On a fixed income now.
You left the motor complete!
You took apart the three phase inverter and the gearbox but didn't do what the title of the video says you did.
You really didn't know what you were doing either did you 🤣
- Come see what's inside my apartment
*Shows the doormat*
- Nice apartment dude
Reads title
Normal people:
Car guys: Tesla’s have engines now
Lol that’s what I wondered, wrong title!
Wonder if it is turbo charged too?
Lol I was just thinking the same thing
They always had engines because we are still not smart enough to not have engines in electrical cars
I am not a native English speaker. Does this mean that engine and motor aren't synonyms?
Me : wants to see what's inside this motor
This video : we gona show you all except for that
tried actually taking apart the motor itself?
u only took apart the transmission and controller :/
*Opens a motor*
*Finds gears*
"WOW!!! THIS IS SO COOL!"
LOL
😂😂😂
Note to self: don’t let these guys work on my car.
The car garage guys just loaned the shop. They weren't necessarily part of the whole process. Just helping out
Rich Rebuilds does a better job in flip flops
@@ainzooalgown7589 agree
Elder Lich lolololol I’m actually dying
rico567 give them my power wheels
Not me being sad that they didn’t show the actual motor and only the gearbox
JerryRigEverything likes to take things apart because he knows what he is looking at
And he takes them apart correctly and doesn't break it unless he is doing a durability test which I hope wouldn't do on a motor like this.
Over 400,000 people have watched a Real Estate Agent destroy a Tesla Drive Unit🤦♂️
Blame the algorithm 😢. I was looking for structure of electric car batteries. You imagined he had some aptitude for taking tuff apart from title and channel name 🙄.
I know what there friend would say
“It scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7”
-Jerryrigeverything
(Edit) whoa 200 likes thanks!
Wouldn't metal scratch at a lower level though
And his glass breaks thing
LauriraDog 🤦♂️
How it's related to this?
nico h he mentions him in the vid dumby
Never got to see inside a Tesla motor that was the gearbox and motor controller casing the motor is still intact lol
“What’s inside a Tesla motor?”
*doesn’t look inside actual motor*
It's not actually motor there is one side having stator and rotor with 15000 rpm with transmission and inverter
If we use brake to stop car the stator works as a generator
@@sudhansudubey7950 which is called an 3 phased induction motor
Remember the scene in Zoolander when they try to physically open the computer to get the files out?
Dominique Vidal man true....amazing scene from that movie
GOD DAMMT....hhahahahahah
that's hilarious
I learned more about computers from that scene than I did about ANYTHING from this horror show.
haven't watched in a while but ur kids voice is getting deep
ikr
Yeah it has
ikr I got scared for some reason
yes, wth
That's exactly right even I noticed before
watching them use flux capacitor and arc reactor incorrectly makes me feel like I'm watching a bunch of chimps at the zoo playing with an on and off switch for the first time.
****Spoiler alert ****
They never show the actual motor. I don't believe they know what it is. Spare yourself the exposure to pure ignorance and move on now.
Saying that Tesla motors don’t need oil or a transmission is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever heard! I’m surprised this isn’t an April fools video!
I think what they meant was that Teslas don't need oil changes.
@@OmegaF77 what the hell do you mean? There will be a point where you need to change that oil. Oil dosen't last for ever you know. I just know on engines the gas and diesel and combustion is why the oil gets dirty let alone the oil will loose its lubricity. When parts start to wear out causing metal in the oil is not good for the motor. Just find scotty Kilmer's video on sealed transmissions and why they need the oil to be changed.
@@PSNxFTWxRAGOI The oil needs to be changed in an ICE car, but not on electric cars (not practically anyways). By the time you need it to be changed, the entire car is most likely dead (1 million+ miles). The oil doesn't get dirty because there is no combustion. There may be metal filings, but it will be very minimal because there are only a couple of gears meshing together as opposed to an ICE car transmission with 7 or more gears meshing.
@@OmegaF77 You don't really know what you're talking about, mate. You're getting engine oil, transmission fluid, and differential fluid all mixed up as one oil. The gear train in the Tesla is more akin to the differential in a car and you usually swap the diff fluid in at 30k miles or so, depending on what you have. You will eventually need to change that oil. With work, oil loses its effectiveness over time, regardless of what it's in.
@@robokid20001 Also, the "diff fluid" in the Tesla is a lubricant, which does not need changing.
People like this, with literally zero engineering knowledge, should not have tech channels like this.
for sure Steve he a light bulb!
Steve woowwww
I dont see you sharing any knowledge,using money to buy gear to show strangers etc etc
This channel started as a science project with his child who just wanted to see what was inside of stuff. It's hardly a tech channel.
You've got a tech channel? What is it?
You are not showing inside the rotor, only showing electrical part.
Myth says: The brushless motor is still unopened and was put to trash 😱🙈
If anyone actually wants to learn something about Tesla electric motors, motor controllers or transmission, please watch something else! This "dumbing down" is indicative of everything that is wrong with society today!
Agreed, classic American tv. No information, terrible humor and adverts.
What about that one guy that rebuilt a Tesla for TH-cam I forgot his name? Also we need to get his kid to watch some boostedboiz or cleetus mcfarland.
well said.
Yeah i seen that grease in an IGBT we call it IGBT Buggers, I have touched it but have not touched it since i heard its really bad for you. Its a dielectric.
100% agreed. no useful information to be gleaned about anything. anywhere in this video. not even the most basic of information. nada. zilch.
Being an electrical motor, it would have been worthwhile to have an electrical engineer or someone with REAL knowledge to comment on the parts that were taken off and their function. Nice to see the first rate construction Tesla put into these units.
or actually disassemble the motor and not just the differential and inverter
You're an electric motor?
I appreciate that you guys did this. I'm not hating. But you would actually be equally amazed to tear into old honda motors and transmissions.
"NoW wE oPeN tHe EnGiNe"
Opens transmission. Ends video with engine still closed. This really is like watching the Kardashian's explain engineering as another commenter observed, this is shameful.
5:00
@@arturos.l.2248 thats the controller, not the actual motor.
And it's a motor, not an engine.
OMG they discovered the 3 phase motor drive !!... ... 30 years after it was designed ;)
When you have more money than brains
That´s it !!
I do agree I could have installed that wonderfull motor and trany in my e46
They can earn more than what they spend through this video on TH-cam.
These are actually worthless people. They are street Dog.
Hey at least they got a gig. Technical knowhow is not everything. You also gotta have the drive to make and become something. In most cases, the latter part takes you further.
what a let down,
and the funny thing is
he is marveling at the gears ?!?!
Alright since it’s been nearly 4 years I vote that we see what’s inside a Tesla “motor” not engine, again! Bet it’s a lot better than it was just 4 years ago! All while ice car companies are digging 6 foot holes in the ground..
These people should never have tools in their hands!
"The coolest thing ever!" Wait till he sees a real gearbox
Or even an automatic gearbox.
The front of a 5.9 Cummins!
@Tony Lewis I think its the fact its such a tiny package but dominates all other production cars. But who knows.
@@strawberryroan1941 ive got an 11 litre m11 cummins running a 16 speed manual eaton transmission and the engineering that goes into them both really is fascinating when you get to study them more closely.
Alex Middleton Yes they are super good engines. We have a farm and one of our tractors is a 875 Versatile with a 400 big cam cummins. Very interesting how it is basically a semi built into a tractor, it has a semi engine, and differentials but Versatile made their own transmissions. My dad got it in 1985 and it now has at least 20,000 hours. They were built to last those that's for sure.
these guys were acting like a couple of teenage girls braiding each others' hair in a new style. oh my gosh!!!!
😂🤣
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto Or a trim party.
@Nagato is better than Punk Naruto dono
Just viewing this video for the first time, 03:13, thermodynamics dictates to spread heat , you need a lot of surface area, those metal dots poking out allows for more heat from the electric work being done, which heats the coil up, to disperse it within that metal, fluid running across those dots would cool it down. The amount of screws is to make sure that the internal pressure does not leak due to thermal expansion.
My brain hurts from watching these guys not understanding any basic engineering. 🙈🤣
When you change a tire once, you turn into this guy
He just acts dumb. He's a brand ambassador meaning he is told what to say for money. The dumber he acts the more outlandish the claims he can make in Tesla's favor without fear of repercussions. The dumber he is the more he can make
😂
Cold lol.
You opened only the VF Drive or you may call it "inverter". The 'computer' is just some microprocessors and control logic that are responsible for generating PWM Waveforms (basically just switching on and off very fast and in a controlled way to generate alternating current in shape of sine waves) which drive the Motor.
Then there are some driver boards that are responsible for controlling the 'spark plugs' wich are actually power switches also called Transistors (either MOSFET or IGBT). They need gate drivers to switch on and off efficiently.
The sticky stuff is to protect the power electronics, to isolate the high voltage and to reduce vibration.
You then opened the gearbox wich wasn't the motor either...
Actually, yeah. Exactly this.
The guy is an ignorant who has no natural curiosity. He does this for the money and the subs. All of his videos contains pearls of wisdom, or rather, ignorance.
Is this Lincoln’s voice?? 😂
Oğuzhan Çakıroğlu yes he grew up so fast

No different from vandals that demolish a Tesla engine in someones back yard
This is probably the most overrated channel on youtube.
Dünya Cengiz yes but it’d be nice if they had people to explain what’s inside instead of “that looks cool”
Ur mean
Even the "free energy" channels have more engineering content...
@@ninjaslash52_98 Well if you want that, go to an engineering channel like Engineering Explained, Scotty or Chris. People who actually knows what they're talking about.
Honestly they should explain some of the stuff instead of saying this thng, that thing oh there are balls in it, o i dont know what that is its super sticky.
The audience could learn so much..
"should we catch that in a bucket or something" lmao... I will never get back the 3 mins of my life watching these clowns.
I think the background music is at least 30% louder than it should be
"This is a giant section of this transistor"
Whoa there, you almost went all the way back to vacuum tube days.
hahahahaha.. I heard that too..
7:22 Look into the black tesla on the left. I jumped xD
Yeah... I noticed that too!
Just like Tesla has Easter eggs so do there videos
Haha! Love the "smart" reactions when they open the gearbox section and inspect the bearings: "wow this one has small little balls inside of it" 🤣 Dude, that's a standard deep groove ball bearing...
