Yeah, I saw that video before and decided not to post it here because he didn't look too happy to be hounded like that.

He was previously mentioned here too:

*edit* to add:
He turned up in an old old Tesla blog:

After 25 years of building all types of brushless motors for application from military robots, to space aplication for NASA, to surgical tools, and artificial hearts, and life and field testing every type of bearing mounting imaginable this is what I can tell you about the bearing spinning problem.
The problem of the bearings spinning in the motor housing will not be solved by switching to aluminum. The bearings must either be epoxied to the housing (preferable with heat cure epoxy) or rubber o rings mounted in grooves in the bearing pocket must be used to prevent any motion between the bearing and the housing. The use of o rings reduces noise especially if a heavy dampning grease is applied to the bearing pocket. Pressing the bearings into the aluminum housing also will not work due to the diffferential thermal expansion between the steel bearings and the aluminum or magnesium housing.

PS.

That's Dustin Hoffman in Doug's picture post above

Another little list that works as a Tesla "Should Own" list (probably 2005):

Remaining drivers of EV1s, RAV4s and Honda Pluses
Tony Shalhoub (recent Golden Globe-winner, ''Monk'')
Peter Horton
Steven Weber (''Wings'')
Glenne Headly (''Mr. Holland's Opus'')
Laurie David, The Detroit Project
Hart Bochner
Jay Leno
Julia Louis Dreyfus
Paul MacCready (designer of Gossamer Albatross and the EV1)
