Hi friends,
I need go into details of induction motor applied in Tesla Roadster. Does somebody know someone who own such information? Maybe someone had dismantled this car and then took a photos of a parts?
I need to know dimensions, rotor and stator design, windings type, number of turns, etc...
I have to perform a computer simulation of Tesla's electric motor. I need it for my masters thesis. I'm looking forward for your reply. Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing that information is a closely guarded secret.

I agree but there is such information about Toyota Prius, Honda Accord for example and moreover - it is public!

There are millions of Accords and Priuses on the road... and less than 1,000 Tesla Roadsters. So far, no one has been willing to dissect their new $100,000 car in the name of science.

Additionally, since Tesla does all their own servicing of this component, there hasn't been a need to publish the details you're looking for.

I think that information may come out some day, it's just not available now, as far as I know.
