So what is a hairpin motor? How does it work? How is it better than traditional round wire motors? What does it mean for the upcoming Tesla model and the EV industry overall? Stay tuned to find out!

There have been rumblings in the industry about Tesla switching to flat wire motors from round wire motors since the new year began. If that's the case, it would be a major shift for Tesla.
Media sources have confirmed that this rumor is true and that Tesla's first flat-wire hairpin motor has revealed its true face.

According to reports, the Model Y will have Tesla's first flat-wire hairpin motor. The electric drive system's exploded diagram shows that the basic architecture has been maintained other than the motor and will remain unchanged.

There is a continuing rise in the power density and efficiency standards for electrical machines used in traction applications. In recent years, hairpin windings have gained popularity because of their improved electromagnetic and thermal performance. Unlike the stranded wire often employed, hairpin windings are solid conductors and may thus produce a high fill factor and superior thermal performance. This makes hairpin windings a desirable option in applications calling for both high power density and efficiency.

Engineers recently disassembled a Giga Texas-produced Model Y and found it was equipped with Tesla's latest generation of the rear drive unit. It is hoped to rectify the issues that were previously experienced with the earlier models. At first glance, Tesla's redesign seems to have improved efficiency, simplified production, and reduced costs. In addition, a new, safer inverter was installed that is smaller and more efficient. Tesla employs infrared sensors to monitor the temperature of the individual inverter components rather than traditional temperature sensors.
