For the engineering minded members out there, do we have any idea what type of motors the tri-motor powertrain is using? Elon recently said the plaid powertrain is "finished" since it is about to ship in the refreshed S/X.
I think all current dual motor Teslas use one permanent magnet switched reluctance motor (rear for 3/Y, front for S/X Raven powertrain) and one induction motor (front for 3/Y, rear for S/X). Please correct if that's wrong. Given the higher efficiency of PMSRM, I would guess the dual rear motors will be that flavor, but haven't seen anything to confirm or deny.
