Tesla didn’t just adopt electric motors—they reimagined them from the ground up. This video dives into the cutting-edge innovations behind Tesla’s high-efficiency induction and permanent magnet motors ...

Tesla will create a permanent magnet electric vehicle motor with zero rare earth elements in it, the company announced at ...

For the rear wheels of a Tesla, those forces are provided by a motor with permanent magnets, materials with the strange property of having a steady magnetic field, without any electrical input ...

Model 3 and Model Y powertrains have already reduced consumption of heavy rare earths by a quarter, and Tesla’s next drive unit includes a permanent magnet motor that doesn’t use any of the ...

It uses a permanent magnet motor up front to either power the car or regenerate energy under braking, with an induction electric motor in the back that engages when extra power is needed.

It estimates that EV motors represent around 12% of global magnet consumption with Tesla accounting for 15-20% of the sector's demand.

Many electric vehicles (EV) use the permanent magnetic properties of rare earth metals to make their electric motors as efficient as possible. Earlier this year, Tesla announced that it would ...

Recently, the Tesla mystery magnet was introduced during Investor Day 2023. However, many experts doubt that this new EV tech will become a reality.

For instance, the stator for Lucid’s six-pole permanent-magnet synchronous motor doesn’t use copper-wire windings like many such motors, and it doesn’t use hairpins either.

The EV maker said it will expunge rare earths from its vehicles' motors, suggesting Tesla engineers will have to get creative.
