Does Mercedes export to the US any electric vehicles that use the same Mercedes electric motor as the Tesla S?

Will someone, someday build a hot rod with a Mercedes/Tesla electric motor?
 
Need more details. I did recently see some B-class electric cars at an MB dealer...

Correct. Tesla does not make electric motors or other electrical components. They assemble them.
 
The electric motors used by Tesla ARE NOT made by Daimler AG. They are made in-house by Tesla, as has been highlighted by at least two television programs. One was National Geographic's "Megafactories" documentary series, and the other was the Canadian produced "How It's Made: Dream Cars" series. The connection between Tesla and Daimler AG is that Tesla is a supplier for the Mercedes-Benz B-Klasse electric car.
