Motor oil pump

The Motor Oil Pump is a crucial lubrication system component in Tesla's electric drive units, responsible for circulating gearbox oil to critical moving parts. This electrically-powered pump ensures proper lubrication and cooling of the reduction gears, bearings, and differential components within the sealed drive unit assembly. By maintaining consistent oil flow, it reduces friction, dissipates heat, and prevents premature wear of the drivetrain components. The pump operates as part of the vehicle's thermal management system, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures for the gearbox and contributing to the overall efficiency and longevity of the electric motor system.
