Q: Is there real evidence Tesla drive units shed metal?
Yes, and the page documents it. Oil from a stock 5,000-mile Model 3 SR+ was sent to independent lab Cavpower Pty Ltd, which found aluminum levels elevated and recommended an immediate oil change. That is the problem this part addresses: a magnetic filter integrated into the unit catches those shavings so you can remove them, instead of letting them keep circulating through the drive unit.
