Compared to the visible aspects such as appearance and interior, the invisible three-electric system is the core and key of the entire vehicle.
The motor that provides the driving force for the vehicle directly affects the driving experience. As the “strong heart” of Tesla, what makes its motor so powerful? Let’s explore it together.
01
Why is it energy-efficient and durable?
Strong research and development capabilities make it more reliable because of independent research and development. Tesla is the first car manufacturer in the industry to widely adopt silicon carbide materials in mass-produced vehicles. Through industry-leading research and development technology, Tesla makes the motors more energy-efficient and significantly improves battery life. Tesla also applies silicon carbide power modules to its S3XY vehicle models, making “high-end materials” a standard feature in every Tesla. Independent research and development also allows Tesla to have control over the underlying code of each component. There is nothing Tesla cannot achieve through continuous research and development innovation, combining hardware and software, and enabling the motors to continuously evolve.
02
Why does it drive smoothly with seamless acceleration and deceleration?
Strong production capabilities. Because of in-house production, Tesla ensures higher quality with its intelligent motor production line. Through self-developed processes, the motors maintain a higher standard of quality. The production line boasts automation levels of up to 99%, undergoing over 300 quality tests. Each motor undergoes strict testing, and every component is traceable and trackable throughout the manufacturing process. Tesla’s innovative manufacturing techniques improve motor cooling and reliability. This, combined with reduced lag and jerkiness, results in smooth and silky acceleration and deceleration, providing a comfortable and responsive driving experience.
03
Why does it have such ample space and require minimal maintenance?
Structural design strength. Designed for self-use, Tesla ensures peace of mind. The in-house development and production of Tesla’s motors, combined with overall vehicle design, offer more spacious interiors. The Model Y, for example, provides over 2100 liters of storage space, more than 30% larger than similar-sized models, offering greater convenience for storage needs.
Tesla motors are highly integrated and feature simplified structures, which contribute to their exceptional durability. With a lifespan of up to 1.6 million kilometers, they require no maintenance throughout their lifetime. This means worry-free ownership, saving time, effort, and money. Every Tesla vehicle in the lineup is equipped with advanced motors, ensuring intelligent evolution and delivering powerful performance, providing an enhanced driving experience.
