On a serious note, let's hope that Tesla did not choose to glue the magnets to the outside of the rotor. IMO, that would be a mistake in terms of reliability and this type of failure will not be uncommon. It is much better to make the permanent magnets captive by placing them inside the rotor where they are fully captive.
Are there any photographs of the rotors of the Model 3 around somewhere?
Hey, what's wrong with JB Weld?lorenfb wrote:Tesla should've continued using an induction motor, or when switching to a PM motor not used JB Weld to attach the magnets to the rotor.
