You’re right about
Teslas
not needing an engine! If you look under the hood of a Tesla, you’ll find extra cargo space, also known as a “frunk”!
In a Tesla, the electric motors are located on the axles. Depending on the model, the battery in a Tesla is located:
  • Under the floor pan
  • In the undercarriage
  • Under the hood next to the firewall
  • In the back of the vehicle
