What's inside a Tesla Engine? 

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.

I guess, I missed the part where he actually opened the motor.

"Whats inside a Tesla engine?" Opens eletric part Opens gear part leaves motor closed

Seriously - this watered-down and fluffy presentation should be on RU-vid kids.

This is exactly the reaction I would expect a Tesla owner to have when seeing the inside of a motor lol

The real motor isn’t even touched 🤦🏻‍♂️ You guys only took apart the motor controller and transmission. Wasted 11 minutes

This could have been actually interesting if it had been done by someone who know what they're doing.

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 🤣🤣🤣

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.

Blue: coolant Red: transmission fluid

Open the motor, this is the differential and the transistors driver

Now we got some idea about the inside of the gears. Electric cars, wow! Good job for the entire world guys.

Those Mexican guys in the back are my spirit animal of this video

Man, you disassembled everything, EXCEPT the motor itself. What an epic fail, lol.

"whats inside a tesla motor" *pulls apart everything but the motor

Actually, the torque “comes from” an electrical motor which produces max torque at zero rpm.

Thanks for the content, I look forward to seeing the inside of the motor next time.

You sound like the Kardashians trying to explain mechanical engineering.

“Lets take apart the motor!!!” - takes apart gearbox and controller, not motor.

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.

this is good cuz it really helps to see that all has changed i hope that will be for a better deal on cars

Why didn't you show the inside of the actual motor.. I was really interested in watching the winding part.

I feel dumber hearing his inaccurate descriptions of basic components.

It looks as good as new inside, which is impressive.

Go for it. Excellent video. Nice layout.

Legend has it they are still trying to find where the motor is!!!!

Somewhere, Rich from Rich Rebuilds is crying after watching this video.

The costlier explanation , Great Thanks

superb engineering

Sad that this guy has no idea what he’s looking at.

“Taking apart a Tesla motor” Inverter: ✅ Gearbox: ✅ Actual motor: nope guess not 🤷‍♂️

Amazing jobs you do.. Thanks for this fabulous video..

Great work. Very informative

You don't have to be smart to have millions of views on RU-vid

"This is the gears, this is where the torque comes from!" yeah, sure

I liked that thing you pointed to. And the other thing was even better. And don’t get me started on that third cool thing. I’m learning so much.

This is so cool! A car has gears!

For part two let's have orangutans disassembling a flying saucer.

Note to self: don’t let these guys work on my car.

Interested see actual induction motor , thanks for stripping the actual drive train.

Woow amazing testa thank you for sharing

This video just hurts my feelings.... My engineering heart is broken 😭

"Woah thats the high voltage area" Literally looking at digital logic boards

* 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"

That was pretty cool. I liked the large bearings the most. The gears are like a Getrag sst dual clutch tranny from evo x. What blew me away was the electrical inside the motor .... Dude! Really cool vid my man. Thank you

They do not open the motor. Thanks for wasting 11 minutes of my life!

Just one question, have you EVER done any basic research about the tech you talk about?

This is a hint of fantastic things to come !

It's 2022, Looking back 2019 video. OMG, Tesla engine is out of this world.

Reads title Normal people: Car guys: Tesla’s have engines now

New video title: Dumb and dumber attempt to use tools for the first time in their lives!

Tx for exploring hi-tech.

Amazing curious guys. Great video

My IQ is definitely lower after watching this

The title of this video should be :"Some Hillbillies see a computer and transmission for the first time"

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 :)

Rich rebuilds must be going crazy as he could use that motor to convert a car

"What's inside of a Tesla motor" and doesn't open the motor, amazing....

“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 🙄

Dmm...it's exactly like Mig29's engine starter motor. 🔥

“What’s inside a Tesla motor?” *doesn’t look inside actual motor*

"Computer, battery pack and this motor" Points to the transmission...

Must be nice to have so much money you can buy a Tesla motor and rip it apart just for fun. I love it 😀

I'm curious as to what kind of lubricant they are using for the gears and whether or not that is considered a 'lifetime' lube or if it does need to be changed every so often.

This is probably the most overrated channel on youtube.

- Come see what's inside my apartment *Shows the doormat* - Nice apartment dude

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.

Nice video guys BTW I guess the oil was there to reduce friction between the gears. Idk though.

*Opens a motor* *Finds gears* "WOW!!! THIS IS SO COOL!"

Disassembling something by destroying it without any technical knowledge to understand how cleverly it was engineered... That's hard to watch.

Elon Musk died while watching this lmao

The engineering marvel that went into that design.

Literally opened everything EXCEPT the motor and inverter.

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

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.

nice idea to disect it to learn

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!!!

Actually they didnt even take apart the Motor.

When I was small, my mom and dad would Bring me toys that I would Promply take it apart , just to See how they were made... The Bad part was I could never figure out How to put it Back together again... Yes, I finally grew out of that Phase, too My mom and Dad's Joy!!!

Red stuff is a type of gear oil or transmission fluid. Some of the motors actually have a filter to keep this stuff fresh but its a lifetime filter.

Over 400,000 people have watched a Real Estate Agent destroy a Tesla Drive Unit🤦‍♂️

It’s amazing how this dude can make an entire video about something, and have absolutely no idea what he’s talking about at any given point throughout the video.

Awesome guys

Never got to see inside a Tesla motor that was the gearbox and motor controller casing the motor is still intact lol

When you have more money than brains

JerryRigEverything likes to take things apart because he knows what he is looking at

Hello, what can be the reason of oil and coolant leak at the same time near the electric drive unit?

Dude this is like watching some folk take apart the guts of a robot made by Skynet. Blue & red liquids, gooey sticky stuff. The future is coming

When you change a tire once, you turn into this guy

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.

I think the background music is at least 30% louder than it should be

Hammering and bashing open the motor and gear cases..... 3 feet from a $300,000 Mclaren.. I love it!! Haha!!

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!

Myth says: The brushless motor is still unopened and was put to trash 😱🙈

Nice work

Whats inside a Tesla motor? My first guess would be... Lots of trotline weights for fishing 😅
