Tesla Motors engineers made an impressive design choice when they developed the Tesla Model 3. They ditched the conventionally used and well-proven induction motors and replaced them with a new type of motor: the IPMSynRM. These motors are a completely different design, making use of magnetic action and reluctance. The big news is that Tesla Motors has started replacing the induction motors in its Model S with these new motors as well! How do these motors work? What’s so special about the IPMSynRM? Let’s explore.
