Motors are pretty much rated class H insulation which IIRC, is about 180 degree C. And yes tesla motors have insulated windings. Bit warmer than a typical ICE but overall transfer should be much less because there's no fire to contain (exhaust)

Most of your organic solvents either boil off/outgass at 100C but they also like +80 degrees F
