Depends on what's wrong with a motor. If you might as well rewind it, at least personally, yeah it's not worth trying to fix, but if it's just a bearing or loose connection it's not too bad.
A wasn't considering a lose connection or a wire short to be a motor issue, but there's no way anyone is going to do a great job of re-winding the motor of an EV. Have you seen those stater windings?! They're way too close together and too precise to do by hand. I'd be willing to bet those machines that do it cost about as much as my house, too.
For sure! Heck I've hand wound like twice in my life and I would have to have adamn good reason to do it again for even a simple piddly thing.
