When was the last time the motor was replaced? Do you have the revision #? Thanks in advance

Thanks for converting

This was on a rav4 ev motor plate (under the plastic cover) a dealership was nice enough to send a picture of.

I have found one with a (P)Tesla part number: 1004706-97-F (S) Tesla serial number: T13A0006299 Part F sounds bad but it says -97- instead of the -00- shown above. Can anyone tell if this is a good motor? For the amount of miles the stamp looks relatively fresh.

Does anyone have any info or speculation regarding the electric motor replacement cost over time? I have found a Rav4EV with a 5 year platinum extended warranty. I am still hesitant to purchase with the unknown cost of motor replacement after 5 years. Has Tesla sorted the issue out or plan to...

I am looking at purchasing and shipping a RAV4 EV through CarMax out of California. The CarMax Warranty seems to be comparable to the Toyota Platinum Warranty (covers almost everything outside of consumables and battery), I was quoted 60 months/75,000 miles starting from my purchase date for...

Is the need for motor replacement as widespread as this forum implies or is it more isolated incidents?
