2. Core Functions & Performance Advantages
1. Precise Driving for Smooth Operation
Equipped with a high-torque permanent magnet motor, its output power matches the original window lift load requirements of Tesla. It drives the window glass to rise and fall at a constant speed, with no jamming or abnormal noise.
Built-in speed control module, compatible with the vehicle’s "one-touch window up/down" and "anti-pinch function" (works with the vehicle’s ECU system). When an obstacle is detected, it automatically reverses to avoid pinching passengers or damaging the glass.
2. Durability & Environmental Adaptability
The motor housing is made of high-strength PA6 + glass fiber composite material, which is impact-resistant and high-temperature resistant (operating temperature range: -40℃ to 85℃). It can withstand long-term high temperatures, humidity, or dust erosion inside the door.
The internal rotor and bearings adopt precision heat treatment technology, resulting in low wear. The official design service life is ≥100,000 lift cycles (equivalent to 8–10 years of normal vehicle use).
3. OEM Compatibility for Plug-and-Play Installation
Fully complies with Tesla Model 3’s door electrical interface and mechanical installation dimensions. The plug and mounting holes match the original vehicle 1:1, eliminating the need for wire modifications or mounting surface grinding.
Compatible with the original vehicle’s window control system protocol. No additional programming is required after installation; it automatically adapts to the vehicle’s ECU once powered on, directly restoring window lift functionality.
3. Application Scenarios & Replacement Tips
1. Scenarios Requiring Replacement
We recommend inspecting and replacing this window lift motor if your vehicle exhibits the following issues:
Significantly slower window movement, jamming, or accompanied by a "buzzing" abnormal noise (mostly due to worn motor brushes or internal gear slippage).
Window fails to lift/lower or only operates in one direction (mostly due to motor coil failure or forward/reverse control circuit malfunction).
"False anti-pinch trigger" or "anti-pinch failure" during window movement (requires inspection of the motor speed feedback module).
2. Installation & After-Sales Recommendations
Professional installation is recommended. When removing the door panel, take care to protect the clips and wiring harness to avoid damaging original vehicle components.
After installation, perform "window position calibration" (via Tesla’s on-board system or diagnostic equipment) to ensure accurate window lift travel and normal anti-pinch function.
This product meets Tesla’s original quality standards and comes with a corresponding warranty period (subject to the supplier’s after-sales policy). For non-human damages (e.g., motor burnout, jamming) within the warranty period, free replacement is available.
