£7,000 MERCEDES MOTOR SCANDAL?! TESLA Admitted the SAME FAILURE… Why Won’t MERCEDES?!
A small seal has a surprisingly large role in George's busiest new upload. With Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQV motor components laid out in the workshop, the OGS & Mechanics presenter traces a noisy bearing back to coolant getting somewhere it shouldn't.
His demonstration is straightforward: coolant escapes past the seal, washes grease out of the bearing and leaves it running without proper lubrication. Both vehicles have covered the same mileage, despite their different ages. George then turns from the hardware to the manufacturers, saying Tesla revised its design while criticising Mercedes' response and warranty provision.
The comparison has passed 400,000 views, making it the most watched of seven new uploads. In the comments, viewers discuss whether acknowledging a design problem changes their trust in a manufacturer; others propose replaceable seals and drainage holes as ways to keep a leak from becoming a larger repair.
The follow-up Tesla teardown is gathering views fastest now. Its description takes the job beyond diagnosis: replacing the worn bearing, addressing rotor cooling, rebuilding the drive unit and testing that the noise has gone. A newer Range Rover P440e investigation is also drawing substantial daily viewing, exploring component-level repairs as an alternative to an expensive dealer verdict.
Across the channel, daily viewing is about a third above its usual level, and another 6,000 subscribers joined over the week. Among nearby motoring channels, Porsche from Samuel had a particularly large week for views, while HertLife was quieter. George's own busy workshop schedule also found room for a Volvo rear-drive teardown and a Range Rover charging fault, where the repair included both a converter and a replacement low-voltage battery.

make the seal easily replaceable and place weep holes so a drip appears on the ground as soon as the seal fails, and the bearing is not swimming in coolant
