Here we teardown Tesla's newest Motor and Inverter tech!
The Tesla part number for this Drive unit is 1665000, so I'm calling it the "Triple 0". Tesla also has a 3 letter designation of 4D1.
Weight (wet): 194 lbs/88 kg

Haripin stator appears to have 54 slots with 8 bars in each. Stator resistance is 8.1 milliohms, vs 10.4 milliohms for the Gen 3. (taken with 4-wire kelvin connections on my 6.5 digit Keysight 34461A using a 10 second sample time)
Parts on PCB:

I used to be engineer with a company that produced fork truck DC controllers (largest I had worked on was a 60V 900A) and later mobile wheelchair and scooter controllers. Super impressed with how compact and simple this design is! I know to make things simpler and cheaper its a lot of work (same goes for software - more effort to reduce code complexity).

@@Ingineerix For sure - high voltage for less resistance losses. When I started we had to use bipolar power transistors which under full load might have a saturation voltage of 0.5V or more - and very high switching losses too. The transistors were screwed down to big blocks of aluminium which in turn were bolted to the vehicles chassis for further heat dissipation. Because of the switching losses most controllers PWMed at sonic frequencies (except some that use speed up transformers to achieve 20 kHz). When the metal transistors blew up it was quite spectacular (where I used to test controllers had marks on the walls for many years)! MOSFETs (and subsequent variants) were a revolution. Even so the Tesla engineering is top notch for sure.

What (still) impresses me is that this basic motor concept drives all vehicles from Model 3 to the Semi (we can no doubt add the new models as they arrive) It's essentially just a question of changing the gearing (and decoupling on the Semi ... Maybe the CT🤔?), then altering the power application map to suit the vehicle. "Genius".

The problem with open inverter on a hybrid PMSRM like this, is that Tesla has probably tens of thousands of hours development into the inverter firmware, which is why this is one of the most efficient and power-dense motors produced. If you just toss that and roll your own with on;y a few hundred hours (if that) of development is you lose a lot. I prefer to drive the motors keeping the Tesla firmware intact.

Thank you for this. Been watching you since the beginning. So out of curiosity, the dyno numbers on the MY suggest it has always put down slightly more HP vs. M3 equivalent. I know to some degree they’re nerfing the Model 3, which was calculated to have about 100A (within spec/ limits) left on the table. But, I always had a feeling they made a stronger motor for the MY. Do you think that’s where the difference HP is? Or simply just a changing the power curve just bc it’s a MY? (Could be both).

Same motor/inverter on both 3/Y, but they do allow higher power output. The Model Y is heavier, so they bumped the power a bit to allow it to try to keep up with the Model 3 a bit better. Yes, there is a lot of power "on the table" in this design, they essentially use the same parts in the Plaid. There are a lot of reasons to limit power, we have to consider the battery pack, powertrain longevity, chassis traction limits, and finally marketing. They don't want a performance Model 3 showing up their expensive flagship Model S.

@@Ingineerix With the work you've managed to do getting into these systems, how hard do you think it would be to ?safely? enable DC export via the power connector/existing socket? There are more and more HVDC to 230Vac inverters available in the solar market these days, most of them being bimodal and in capacities of 50kW+ in the residential/ light commercial space. I presume tesla has ways to check whether any HVDC is "leaking", so tapping into exiting wiring wouldn't necessarily provide bi-directional access to power either?

@@stefanvanzyl9090 People keep asking me this. Sorry; Yes, it's possible, but I'm generally not inclined to help people do this due to the extreme hazard involved. A 400V DC shock is approximately like 800VAC, it's super dangerous. The arcing potential is high, and the amount of amps the battery can supply is terrifying. Tesla's got a lot of safety systems designed to keep the HV away from people, but if you "tap", then you are bypassing this. I'm happy to discuss over email if you like, but I can't condone anyone without proper qualifications attempting such a thing. General electrical knowledge is just not enough, and if you are qualified then you'd already know how to do this, and do it safely. I did it in 2015, and it's not a problem, but non-trivial.

No, these are to supply isolated power for the gate drives. There are no motor-level currents anywhere on the PCB, those are on the welded copper bussing. Where the 3 bus-bars pass through the PCB there are 2 flux-gate current sensors. I point this out at around the 10 minute mark.

I can already see Sandy trying to pick his jaw off the floor. The cost down on this vs. last rev is a work of art I'd say they dropped 13-18% just in material cost. 35-40% from the hairpin, another 8-12% on the driver. I can easily see this with an induction rotor in a 25k car with a 65kwhr battery I bet they shaved 15-20kg off the unit weight and that's says a lot given how Good the last one was compared to the rest of the ev market

@carholic1336 I have a cybertruck pre-order in the first 500. So, of course, I agree. But the inverter + hairpin stater + an induction rotor in volume here is under $ 1500 usd with tesla's currently around 85-90$ per kwhr, so a apx 6000$ usd for the battery. So expect all the running gear to be under 10k$ then just the body costs, and with the die-casting, the costs have dropped dramatically. So yes, tesla taking advantage of all its current IP, a 25k car will be easy
