Carbon Fiber Motor Mount: Strength, Style, Performance - From Idea to Reality-Crafting Carbon Fiber

You do probably already know, but the Tesla motor needs to have Reverse Drive Oil Pump for the correct flow when mounted in reverse.

Boxing in the large hollow underside would do wonders for the part's torsional rigidity having that cantilevered load. I second the other comments on the actual bolted interfaces, you want to bear the load locally in a much thicker section.

Amazing job as always! But i wouldn't trust the motor mount screw to seat directly on the carbon, i would add a couple of small bushings there. Vibrations may enlarge the holes or make the part crack. PS I'm a "bicycle" engineer with 15 years experience, i designed and built in mass production tons of carbon bikes for the major brands. I hope it helps! Keep up the good work!

To make the carbon fiber motor mount structural, you could use the same layup, but add 1/8" or 1/4" honeycomb material in the middle of the layup. For the mounting points, cut out a square of the honeycomb and add either layered carbon fiber or aluminum strip (a square with each side 3x the hole's diameter) to take the point loads. The stiffness increases exponentially.

Making some F1 carbon parts in his garage! I love it!

I admire your professionalism in making the hard choices and making more work for yourself, but a better outcome

Fiber is your thing! Pleasure to see it get fits seamlessly upon your hard work!

Nice job Jeremy, and hopefully You’ll find a job soon good luck.

First, GREAT job all around. On this build and all the work that you do. I'm really enjoying your channel. Second, I'll add to the CF comments by reminding everyone that CF has over twice the tensile strength of aluminum at half the weight. If something "tore up" a 1/4" in of aluminum, the equivalent would be 1/8" of CF. In the right configuration (as you stated) and the correct weave / pattern layout CF can be used for this and many other high load applications. After all, it is used for aircraft wings that take loads far in excess of what this motor can put out.

Loving the videos! It’s exciting to see the progress! I came over to the channel with Zack’s hummer, and I’ve loved the content. I’ve been watching your first build in between the new uploads, and it’s been really fun to watch!

Love Your ambition and and courage to take on these projects. With that said Please take your safety seriously and wear a respirator when cutting and grinding carbon fiber and fiberglass. Please keep up the good work I would love to see this project finished.

I am glad to see that I'm not the only one that has been in job search hell for a while. lol

Very inspiring build - Thanks for sharing this level of detail in your video. I would recommend some internal ribs on your carbon fibre part (like your mold) to counteract the motor torque. Great work!

PPE in an enclosed space when grinding!

That Came Out Really Well My Friend, Keep Up The Great Work. I Pray That You Find A New Job That Allows You To Continue The Porsche / Tesla Build I Am Fully Invested In Your Videos Now, Salute From A Real Life U.S. Army Veteran.

I did not expect Sub Urban - Cradles. Excellent track choice.

We're rooting for you! The best of blessings to you on your job search!

So much skill and patience! Great job!

Someone could probably do load simulation on that part personally I would have added two ribs per side but I bet that's going to hold pretty good

Looks free, you have a lot of patience to do that. Keep up the great work.
