Good luck getting to it Eric. It's buried.

10 bucks says you've have had it on your workbench by now.

I've been wondering if it would be at all possible to have a custom shop expose the motor/inverter with a clear plexiglass cover so it could be seen? Although it is quite entertaining to pop the frunk and say "look, no motor" and then pop the hatch and say "look, no motor", It would also be fun to show off the incredible powertrain. Some cool ambient lighting in there would look really sharp at night. Any thoughts out there?

Just stick a life sized picture of it in the trunk, same effect, no cost :wink:

Not a bad idea... I did see the "bedframe" w/o the body during the Test Drive event so I have an idea what it looks like underneath. Still the glass would be cool - probably very expensive to have done though - if even possible. There may be body structure there. Most likely the drivetrain is accessed from below after pulling the battery pack.

Yes saw 1 with the battery pack removed up on a lift at the Tampa store many things easily accessible without the battery pack

I was told by a Tesla rep that the electric motor is lubricated for 12 years.

No wonder deliveries are slow. 12 years to lube a motor.

What does this even mean? The misinformation by the reps is bad.

12 years sounds appropriate for the gear oil. I wouldn't wait the long, but sure.
