The tesla large drive motor, has a known design flaw that tesla will not repair… it has a coolant leak the affects and kills the motor… they have down a redesign for the performance motor called a coolant delete but not for the ldu… and they will charge over $6500 to replace the motor. I’m on my 6th ldu (motor) and now out warranty. There are thousands of cases of this failure.. It should be absorbed recall and free replacement … they know it’s a problem, please force a design change oand recall
