Remarkable architecture of the Model S, the Front of the
car is truly the state of the art
The above image has the open architecture, featuring the
combination of castings, extrusions and a few stampings
The cast suspensions are its members, which are
extraordinarily shaped and well functional, very stiff, light
weight and turns great in crash Across the suspensions,
there is very large cross member, which is there because
there’s no conventional gas engine and that devices
trunk later when the whole design is complete

3. and it is now triangulated creating the series of triangles with the objective of creating stiffness. Stiffness is integrated
into the car not just for handling, but the body should have the lack of shake, which is synonymous to the quality product

5. safety is an important aspect of the car, here we see the very advanced crumple zone of the car

6. These deep extrusions or aluminum extrusions are perfectly striped and hindered by the intrusion of the powertrain.
We see here the characteristic double octigood section, which is in such a good shape for absorbing crash energy,
ensuring that the G-Forces in an impact are reduced, therefore less injurious to the occupants

8. Here’s the great view of the cooling
system, it is a part of advanced
powertrain monitoring system that
TESLA has developed. For best
performance of the battery, it is
imperative to keep them at the best
temperature and maintain that
uniform temperature and in a
computer controlled way. The
below is the central heat exchanger
for that function, either sides we’ve
condensers, as these are the Air
Conditioning systems within the car
to keep the cabin of the car at the
set temperature.
However, there are less radiators
compared to the conventional ICE
vehicles and that itself is a metric
for efficiency, aerodynamics and
safety
Also, the we see the entire system
together with the ultra high strength
steel Boron bumper system, which
itself is the state of the art feature,
combined by the aluminum
intensive carrier in a module and
that modularity will help build the
cars with more than 20k units a year
in a repeatable fashion.
Quality is not a function of how
things are assembled on the
production line, but quality is
designed at the outset

Model S is a great drivers car, so for that the multilink aluminum intensive rear air suspension is crucial for optimization of
low center of gravity and great dynamic characteristics.

11. This imposing large diameter rear disc rotor is larger that one normally expects in the rear axle system, that’s because
there’s a very low centre of gravity for Model S and we can expect the rear brakes to contribute more than in
conventional vehicle.
We see the suspension links themselves. These are extruding form of aluminum and are exceptionally light and rigid,
both vital attributes for a great suspension system

13. Centerpriece of Model S is the advanced aluminum structure, the body shell of the vehicle, which embodies the car with
the great safety performance, as it comprises of the safety cage, which protects the occupants in a crash. This is done
with the combination of Castings, extrusions and stampings. Here at the rear arch, we can see the stamped wheel arch
inner panel coupled with the casted upper inner panel

15. There’s another significant castings, which runs as the lower part of the structure or the underbody, which is a semi-
permanent mould casting. It blends neatly and has an organic flow that adds to the stiffness and performance of the car
and moreover it reduces the weight.
Now, packages is also a very important aspect of the car.
Packages is the efficient use of the space in this modular
design of the automobile.
Models S has extraordinary package efficiency that it is
possible to induct the third row of occupants and the
third row can effectively sit on the panel. Underneath the
panel, there’s a very compact electric motor, drivetrain,
power electronics, gearbox and the multilink rear
suspension system

We are underneath the Model S, which has the extraordinary flat expanse battery packs, which cover the entire
underbody of the car, bringing the CoG down and providing the perfect aerodynamics for efficiency

17. The battery pack sits neatly underneath the floor of the vehicle optimized for package space.
The battery pack is also extraordinary as it augments the structure.

18. This unit in itself has the extraordinary tertional rigidity compared to many sports cars. But when it combines with the
body structure of the Model S, it doesn’t add its own tertional rigidity and it adds nearly 3 times.
That technology is built as the marriage with battery pack and the body structure occurs

21. The use of 3 Dimensional space of packaging is for
optimizing the space and shape of every piece in the car.
This is the rear sub-frame, which carries the advanced
multi link TESLA rear suspension system and deep inside
that module, there’s electric motor, gearbox and power
electronics inverter module as part of the package. It is
an innovation to position the power electronics, right next
to the motor and to package that to shrink-wrap that with
a sub-frame and a suspension is been an achievement.

24. and that is achieved with very close collaborative working with powertrain, suspension, body engineering team following
a great advanced engineering methodology. The team is of different disciplines, sharing the collective experience of
designing and packaging the car
