I want one(!)
Ok cool. I think on the MS/X there are two motors in a single (though oddly shaped) housing. Do you think it is possible that this could have been a tri-motor? I haven’t ever looked that closely at either of these, so I have not idea.as the OP on Reddit answered, he checked behind the wheels and spotted a motor behind both axels. That's why it should be dual motor
It’s probably not that difficult to tell if it’s a dual or tri-motor. I’m sure it’s a dual, my man didn’t miss a whole motor. They’re literally identical.Ok cool.

Although both scenarios are equally likely, i am leaning towards your man missing a motor. Cant be sure without a teardown, and your man's not likely to be a mechanical engineer..It’s probably not that difficult to tell if it’s a dual or tri-motor.

not if Tesla is going to predominately produce more not dual motor variantsAlthough both scenarios are equally likely,
too many unknowns at the moment, that's why to me it's a tossup . + we don't know what this was used for exactly, let alone what trim would be best for that application.not if Tesla is going to predominately produce more not dual motor variants
42!Pop quiz: how many motors in this Tesla drivetrain?

What about this one?

I think it's fairly obvious from the photos, but a casual inspection of a covered underside may not be determinative.
If the front wheels have driveshafts then there's obviously at least 2 motors, but it may be difficult to tell if an axle has 1 motor or two.
Should polish out(!)Went through crash and this was all the damage? (Photo taken from the Reddit thread)
