By now TM has produced possibly a dozen or more different motors in sufficient quantity that obtaining salvaged examples is possible. Which ones come closest to matching the Roadster motor and/or inverter as viewed from the pov of the controller? Or are these for some reason in completely separate universes? All TM motors are 3 phase AC (and all TM batteries are 360+ vdc) but what else do we know about possible interoperability?

Aren’t the M3 motors permanent magnet?
