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
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!
you can find those motor online... clear problem... if you need to replace them you need the whole unit.. unlike normal car that you can just take one part out and fix quickly... I will never buy this pos.... rental car only...
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.
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.
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

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.
The evidence of what gets promoted by YT is that being "smart" is a bad thing. The dreaded algorithm promotes dumb all the time, and it is just getting worse.
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.
“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.
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
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.
@@sjokomelk but when i was check air conditioner in my factory, compresor using DC voltase and i check with multi tester 380vdc, maybe that not 3 phase but 3 line with 380v
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
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.
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.
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. 👎🏼
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 🙄.
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.
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
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.
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?
@@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.
@@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.
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.
@@yannick3089 200 Miles is a long drive non stop, most likely you're gonna be hungry by then and have to stop anyways for food or a break, in the mean time you'll charge it a station and it'll be ready to go when you're done. Very few people would be doing 400+ mile journeys in a day, every day. So it's not like it's an everyday inconvenience. If you're someone who needs to do multiple 400+ mile journeys in a week then yeah, an electric car might not be for them but that's not the situation for most people.
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.
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 🤣

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.

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.
Sir, you do realize you're talking to Darwin award nominees, right?
You don't have to be smart to have millions of views on RUclips
They are smart..the concept of this "what's inside" is very smart to gain viewers. What you are saying is so misleading
Exciting Marmot ok boomer
The evidence of what gets promoted by YT is that being "smart" is a bad thing. The dreaded algorithm promotes dumb all the time, and it is just getting worse.
This video just hurts my feelings.... My engineering heart is broken 😭
Maybe they should try taking apart a Spacex rocket

@Mark K same
Disassembling something by destroying it without any technical knowledge to understand how cleverly it was engineered...
That's hard to watch.
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. 🙈🤣
"Woah thats the high voltage area" Literally looking at digital logic boards
5v is high if you lick the terminals.

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?
“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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Printed circuit board boards
is that 3 phase dc motor? like in daikin inverter air conditioner compressor, it's why tesla have big power motor engine
3 phase AC. DC doesn't have phases.
@@sjokomelk but when i was check air conditioner in my factory, compresor using DC voltase and i check with multi tester 380vdc, maybe that not 3 phase but 3 line with 380v

@@TurboElectricUK finally learned something from this video.
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
*Opens a motor*
*Finds gears*
"WOW!!! THIS IS SO COOL!"
LOL
😂😂😂
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..
"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
🙏 Reminding us to send our cars to Real Experienced Professionals to handle our cars! 😮
"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.
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.
“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
We saw inside the gear box and the electronics but we didn't see inside the actual motor ,is it brushless ?
I know. Tesla motors are famous for using reluctance as well as inductance and I really wanted to see the actual structure.
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.
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. 👎🏼
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 cant see the magnet part i know there should be Neodymium magnet somewhere inside the Tesla Motor or there is none?
The Tesla uses the induction motor and not the BLDC motor but it might have magnets in the rotor.
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

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.
Actually they didnt even take apart the Motor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
Hello, what can be the reason of oil and coolant leak at the same time near the electric drive unit?

That's exactly right even I noticed before
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?
You are not showing inside the rotor, only showing electrical part.
Remember the scene in Zoolander when they try to physically open the computer to get the files out?

u only took apart the transmission and controller :/

Oh jeez ive traveled for 200 miles crap i gotta recharge
That is the engine I think he is looking inside of.....
Duuuude the irony he did post a video recently in his family channel that he's Tesla won't charge
@@yannick3089 200 Miles is a long drive non stop, most likely you're gonna be hungry by then and have to stop anyways for food or a break, in the mean time you'll charge it a station and it'll be ready to go when you're done. Very few people would be doing 400+ mile journeys in a day, every day. So it's not like it's an everyday inconvenience. If you're someone who needs to do multiple 400+ mile journeys in a week then yeah, an electric car might not be for them but that's not the situation for most people.
