IHS has done a teardown of some parts in Model S

Full report only available to paying customers. Right click on images and remove "size=thumbnail" from URL to get bigger images. I guess they will probably make some report sales to the smaller manufacturers who haven't torn down a Tesla yet.
Charger is VERY interesting, I love how it's put together.
Interestingly, Tesla made a lot more parts than I expected. Things like the safety systems were made by other manufacturers. All door lock/liftgate/sunroof systems etc are made by Pektron Ltd., a UK supplier. I am guessing this is part of the system security.
They haven't taken apart the motor inverter yet...
