Elon Musk presents Tesla's new engine that promises not only to be a revolution in the electric car market, but also for combustion engines from automakers like Toyota.
Elon Musk is just a few steps away from taking the electric car market to another level with the launch of a new Tesla engine called the Hairpin, which promises to change the game against Toyota and other automakers. The billionaire recently unveiled this revolutionary drivetrain that makes electric vehicles even more competitive not only compared to previous generations, but also compared to combustion vehicles.
Main differences of Tesla's new engine
When it comes to Elon Musk's Tesla, it can be said that there are many admirers and critics, however, it cannot be denied that the company is making significant advances in the world of electric vehicles. With a focus on reducing costs and improving the environment, Tesla is using software to model the best configuration and a unique design that involves welding without the use of rare earth mineralss.
This resulted in a powertrain consisting of a $1.000 motor and $5 battery, making your mass market vehicle not only viable but also high gross margin.

What really surprises is Tesla's new engine, which promises to leave Toyota behind. The new engines Hairpin They are something completely innovative with a more compact, lighter and more advanced design.
One of the main features of this new Tesla motor is its fill factor, which can reach 0,7, compared to the 0,4 found in traditional round wires. This means that Elon Musk's engine has better thermal performance and allows for a fully automated production process.
Tesla changes layout to use its new engine
The new inverter design is revolutionary as it is much more compact with a fused high voltage connector and data connector. By removing the cast covering you can see this for yourself.
FOR leave Toyota behind, Elon Musk's Tesla optimized the layout of the new engine and improved the cooler assembly. A friction welded piece was used to join them. The engine filter is no longer user replaceable, but this is due to the fact that it does not need to be changed throughout the life of the vehicle.
Unlike a combustion engine, this filter only serves to prevent the accumulation of small wear and manufacturing debris, so it is never necessary to replace it. Elon Musk's new Tesla engine has clips to wind the stator instead of round wires.
The rectangular geometry of these clips allows for better use of space, generating a better fill factor, that is, the copper winding uses the available space more effectively, generating 20% more efficiency.
Advantages of the new engine compared to those from Toyota and other automakers
This Elon Musk technology represents a series of advantages. For example, the higher fill factor generates a more intense magnetic field, resulting in more powerful rotor rotation and greater wheel torque.
Because the stator can be smaller, energy losses during the passage of electrical current through copper, known as copper losses, are minimal.
The optimized winding path simplifies the assembly process and Tesla's new motor, which promises to blow away Toyota, has a lower risk of failure in the long term. Its clips can conduct more current than round wires, resulting in less heat in the bearing and motor.
