Shows how the Model 3 HV system is routed on the bottom of the car. The only part not shown is the connection for the charge port which is located on top. See this video for details on what's inside the penthouse: https://youtu.be/jm_tV8la-0c
Sorry for the fast camera movements, watch in 1/2 speed (Gear Icon down on the lower right) if you want to get it slowed down.

This is a short clip of the Model 3 74kWh battery pack pulled from a salvage. It's not a complete teardown, as I'd like to keep this pack sealed for a future use. More info coming soon on this secret project, so please subscribe!
I have not yet removed the cover exposing the modules, as this has already been covered by others. Under the black steel there are 4 long modules that run the full length of the casing that have a total of 96 bricks that contain 4416 total cells called ā2170'sā (21mm diameter, 70mm long). There are 46 of these cells in parallel in each brick, 2 of the long modules have 23 bricks in series, and the other 2 has 25 bricks in series for a total of 96 bricks in series.

The Tesla Plaid pack uses 7920 18650 cells arranged in 5 modules that have an 72S22P arrangement each. Same BMS system as Model 3/Y. It is capable of sustained 2300A output.
Each module is 15 3/8" (390mm) long X 55 1/4" (1404mm) wide X 3" (76mm) high. If you include the coolant manifolds and lines, the width is 57 3/8" (1458mm).
This pack's data obtained from the BMS:
Beginning of Life Pack Energy: 99KWh
Nominal Energy Remaining: 32KWh
Nominal Full Pack Energy: 95KWh
Charge Total: 1564.13KWh
Discharge Total: 1484.05KWh
Present SoC: 34.3%
Cell Voltage Min: 3.592V
Cell Voltage Max: 3.598V

A short exploration of the bare drive unit removed from the subframe and with it's inverter removed. With inverter installed and full lubrication sump it was just under 200lbs/90kg. The inverter itself weighs only 8.5lbs/4kg. Halfshafts use the same spline and interface dimensions as S/X with the exception of the seal shoulder which is 40mm on 3 versus 44 on S/X. However, the seal OD (67mm) is the same, so you could swap in a seal from a S/X to use the heavier S/X halfshafts.
Note that Tesla is using 4 of these exact same PMSRM (Permanent Magnet Switched Reluctance Motors) in the Tesla Semi. Though the gear reduction part is totally different. Same rear casting in fact, even with the vestigial rubber mount that is not being used in the Semi.

I keep getting asked how I am gleaning all this knowledge about the Model 3 and it's systems. Most of my knowledge is derived simply from intense study of all the 3's systems, inside and out. The best way for me to get access to every system in the car is to basically remove it's body and all non-essential parts which block access. I have done this; Exploded a Model 3 right here on my shop floor! Now you get the grand tour!
WARNING: Do not ask me how to obtain access to the hidden menus shown. Unfortunately there is no simple way for one to access them, Tesla has went to great lengths to keep people out. Getting access involved warranty-voiding techniques on the ICE circuit board, including soldering, and is very risky to attempt on your $50k+ car.
