Most EV teardown content focuses on the cells. This one goes a level up and looks at how the battery pack actually interfaces with the rest of the vehicle.

This teardown shows all three connector systems on a Tesla Model S pack out of the car: the 400V high-current blade connectors that feed the drivetrain, the low-voltage CAN bus connectors that carry signals to the vehicle's computer, and the quick-disconnect cooling jackets that circulate glycol for thermal management.

If you are new to EV systems, which interface surprised you most: the 400V power connector, the CAN bus, or the glycol cooling?
