This is the thing about mining the people that are against lithium are 100% for coal I don't know if they realize where they get the coal from or not they get it from digging holes in the ground for y'all that don't know so they're going to be digging holes in the ground to harvest coal or to harvest lithium so we're going to be digging holes in the ground one way or another so if you're not for the lithium because they're digging holes in the ground then you should also try and boycott coal as well as far as child labor goes I started working at 13 years old I was very delinquent kid so they put me to work I got to keep all of my money which was the mistake of my parents behalf again I was irresponsible and the money probably would have been better putting in bank account somewhere so if the kids are earning their own way I'm good with that because it was that work ethic that has kept me preserved today if it wasn't for the decision made by the judge in my parents I would either be dead or I would be in prison forcing a child to work slave labor in a mine sifting through toxic chemicals barehanded I don't think adults would enjoy doing that and I am 100% against that thing however a 13 year old kid is more than capable at doing a lot of things the education I got on the roof was for superior to the secular education I was getting in school when I attended

reminds me of SSDs with mass adoption comes price reduction, but to achieve this they use cheaper components and make inferior product by design to reach price and production targets like the cheap ssds of today are inferior to mechanical hard drives, cheap EV motors could become inferior to ICE engines they replaced, not in terms of convert energy to motion but in terms power, longevity, etc if batteries continue their rapid decline in manufacturing cost we could see engines being crippled to meet the mass market

This is a very interesting question. I was considering myself perhaps taking two Prius gearboxes and removing mg1 while combining mg2s into one motor. In your case you can consider doing the same for front and rear. But it will not be simple I can tell you that. If you just take each gearbox and inverter as is the weight penalty would be considerable

Your channel is very helpful, thanks for doing all of this. I have a question about the SDU - BMS communication here. I red on the forums that if you are running the motor and suddenly cut off the power from the batteries, there is some trapped electricity in the motor and it would burn the powerstage of the inverter. I am wandering is it really that dangareous ? Im imagining when driving, the bms decides that the cells are too hot and shuts the contactors. Is it really that much of a problem or do you do something to make the sdu and bms talk to each other and prevent such thing?
@LatutaEV
@LatutaEV 2 ай бұрын
I am glad that you have found my channel useful. Yes disconnecting a contactor while you are running the motor may damage the Tesla SDU that is for sure. BMS should take other measures to prevent cells from overheating but do not disconnect the contactor that is for sure bad thing to do. The Tesla SDU earlier versions were not as protected like Model 3 motor I would say and number of people had their motors damaged like that.
@skyrunner95
@skyrunner95 2 ай бұрын
@@LatutaEV do you suggest somehow programming the bms to slow down the motor before it shuts the contactor if necessary. I was thinking of making an emergency switch, to shut the contactors in case of a fire or something like that. Maybe if the switch tells the bms to slow down the current to the motor slowly, that should do it.
