    ... yet it might be removable in about a minute. ....-- but you have to wonder what the purpose of it is, then.
    Because when you have a car that runs with three main components there is no good reason that removing any one of them should not be extremely simple.

    ummm... I believe you're looking at empty shelves, conveniently labeled with part numbers of what should go there. Looks like the shelves have rollers so it's easier to slide bins off and on them. Do you have a source for the image?

    Just curious. Who makes the electric motor itself? Does Tesla do that in house or is it a part that they buy from another manufacturer?

    Apparently the motor manufacturing is "upstairs" at the factory in a place where even VIP tours don't get to go.
