Teslas biggest motor flaw! The "Achilles Seal"

- čas přidán 9. 05. 2024
- The team at Revolt remove an LDU from the infamous "Teslamino" to show the process of installing the new Coolant bypass kit for Tesla's biggest motor flaw... the "Achilles Seal" as we call it. This video is in no way an instructional or "how-to" video on how to remove the LDU from your Tesla, nor do we recommend anyone try this at home. Leave that to the professionals, high voltage can kill you.

Another issue, which should be addressed, is the end cap seals on the drive motors. From the manufacturer, the motors come witha flat oramge gasket with 3 concentric circular lobes. Good design, three levels of redundancy before a leak. At Tesla, during manufacture, they open the endcap, remove the three-lobe seal, and replace it with a gasket seal with a single lobe. I don't want to accuse tesla of designing failure into their vehicles, but why introduce an un-needed step into manufacture to replace a superior design with an inferior designed part? Business opp. for u guys. Good luck!
Guys thanks for posting this! I have a 2015 P85D and was thinking this could be something I could handle myself. Unfortunately it's not an easier DIY, but it is what it is.
Man, I was excited before watching this video, too. No chance that I’m doing this job. I’ll need an EV mechanic in Georgia who not only is willing to undertake this job, but will have the multiple lifts necessary to do it.
There are options that don't require a drive unit removal.
@@sirseriouslywould you care to tell us about these? Thanks!
Great fix!
Thank you sir! Hope yours is treating you & the Electrolite well 🙌🏽
Do the Tesla replacement LDUs suffer this issue? mine was replaced under warranty with a "U" unit. 2018 P100D
Do you guys have any thoughts on the future ramifications/repercussions of removing that cooling? I recently contacted a well-known in the EV servicer in our community and they pretty much advised against this fix. They're advising a much more expensive rebuild where they replace seals and bearings. Not saying either is wrong per se, just collecting all the data that I can to make the most informed decision as a consumer. Thanks in advance.
We have been running them for a long time and have thousands of miles on the kit. Tesla just released a fix to the motors with a "U" code that does the same thing as ours. We have seen more rebuilt seals fail than anything else due to rotor surface damage.
@@revoltsystems"that does the same thing as ours" are you saying Tesla is also solving it by bypassing the passageway also?
Great vid, this will save a lot of people some major money. 💪💪💪
Which Car models and make are affected by this "achilles seal"?
All performance model s/x and all rwd only model s.
Any one with a large drive unit
7:25 good hack!
I’m surprised it took Tesla until 2020 to figure this problem out.
its not like there are a lot of people taking them in to get serviced for oil changes..
They know about it but as most OEM's they make money from maintenance and repair.
Super fun day!
Always good to have Juanote’ Cinco en la casa!
@@revoltsystems haha! Love coming by for a good time!
Just had that problem on my wife's car. $6,500.00 at Tesla
Thanks gents.
After seeing this, Honda forever....
Too late, this is an old designed, ended 8 years ago
But gays is there missing parts. Old part have a seals in the center. Is not logic to me. Now nothing stop water go in bearings?
The kit bypasses the entire problematic part.
