The Tesla LDU (Large Drive Unit) used in certain Teslas, including my P90D has a flaw with the cooling system.  There is a seal that will eventually fail with a 100% failure rate.  When the seal fails, coolant leaks past the seal, washing grease out of the bearings and damaging the stator and eventually the inverter.  Given there is no weep hole in the LDU, there is no external evidence that the seal has failed.  Here are some links for more information:

One of the few things I didn't get with my Tesla was a power frunk/trunk.  Unfortunately, it's not feasible to install OEM units so I chose to go aftermarket to accomplish this.  Here are a number of links I used to help with selecting the units and installation.

I ran into TeslaMate after I bought my Tesla.  It is described as "A powerful, self-hosted data logger for your Tesla".  Grafana is operational dashboard software that will display the data in a usable format. Here are a number of links to how I installed them:
