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 amount of mechanical ignorance in this video is just depressing.

    11 mins of taking apart a motor and the one thing they did not take apart is THE F***ING MOTOR
  • I love when non car guys explain car stuff. It’s that confidence in their voice that makes it even more hilarious.
  • If he was amazed by the gearbox, imagine this guy rebuilding a transmission. 😂 I love it when non car guys try to explain cars.
  • @panastiwari
    I guess, I missed the part where he actually opened the motor.
  • @GabrielM01
    "Whats inside a Tesla engine?" Opens eletric part Opens gear part leaves motor closed
  • @abboberg
    Seriously - this watered-down and fluffy presentation should be on YouTube kids.
  • @chillhard430
    Is this the guy with the Tattoo of the Alternator who tells everybody he got a Turbo Tattoo ? " This is the giant part of this Transistor " is all I needed to hear.
  • @PistachoGirasol
    Open the motor, this is the differential and the transistors driver
  • @miRaxTiPa
    Man, you disassembled everything, EXCEPT the motor itself. What an epic fail, lol.
  • @JetFire9
    That moment when you find out there’s lots of fluids to maintain in a Tesla right after you said there’s nothing to maintain on a Tesla 🤣🤣🤣
  • @calidan777
    This is exactly the reaction I would expect a Tesla owner to have when seeing the inside of a motor lol
  • @MrElectron
    Why didn't you show the inside of the actual motor.. I was really interested in watching the winding part.

    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.

    Now we got some idea about the inside of the gears. Electric cars, wow! Good job for the entire world guys.
  • @mrpike8955
    This could have been actually interesting if it had been done by someone who know what they're doing.
  • For part two let's have orangutans disassembling a flying saucer.

    * Sees the gears * "Whoa that's so cool" Me sitting here on my break lik: "that almost looks like the t-case I'm taking apart right now"
