Electric cars are here to stay. Many see them as a solution to mitigating pollution in cities, although there's still a long way to go, especially in terms of range.
Tesla is one of the companies that first bet on this type of mobility. The company founded by South African-born tycoon Elon Musk has been offering different models for all budgets for many years.
Although the brand isn't going through its best moment right now due to various factors, it still has a strong market share. That's why engineer Sandy Munro decided to disassemble a Tesla Model Y to see what was inside.

The most notable thing he found is a practice increasingly adopted by electric vehicle manufacturers: integrating the battery into the chassis. The advantages include reduced weight and improved structural rigidity, as well as increased range and lower costs.
The main problem? Repair. The engineer himself said he spent days removing the Model Y's battery. "A simple deformation can make the car financially irreparable," Munro concludes in his analysis.
