      I am 72 and enthusiastic about how Sandy looks at design. As long as people like him where considered as disturbing, there was just business as usual and no innovation. So fortunately Elon came not from legacy auto! At Hyundai Group fortunately young engineers together with older experts, they did not really like in Europe, got ‚carte blanche, to realize outstanding electric cars with personality too! Fortunately there is change now and keeps personal mobility attractive because there is no alternative besides driving less and save ressources. 😎

    Having sponsors where Munro vets the design quality is genius, as it makes the viewer assured of the quality and for me that makes the advertisement much more valuable for the viewer and the sponsor.

      Yeah tend to agree , although a massive petrol head myself and love N/A engines electric cars should have come on a lot more . Now there are 2 reasons for this
      1 Nicola Tesla was ripped off by JP Morgan and it’s all about greed and money, not passion pride and innovation. So electric cars would have been developed sooner.
      2 electric vehicles were around before petrol ones , it was only America that pushed the internal combustion engine to the mainstream as they had an abundance of oil to sell , that’s why the big yank v8s produced pathetic bhp per litre . It didn’t matter how inefficient they were as more oil was sold for fuel . Then ford etc exported the petrol engine car basically tow the world . All about money and greed eventually.

      Yes. I know some say Sandy is too enthusiastic about Tesla, he's not objective enough, but long-time viewers know it's because Sandy was frustrated for years when working inside Ford and then when consulting with large car OEMs - he knew the right ideas and they were so infrequently implemented. It sure is notable that he's had that 3-piece car casting mockup around for 15 years - recommended to many, and brought to fruition by only one company, one that hadn't seen it.

    I love the Herbert Deiss comment. When I heard of his being pushed out of VW, my immediate reaction was seeing a disaster being implemented by the change. I got the impression VW is skeptical about EV's and they are going to pull a Toyota and bank on regulators to extend the electrification deadlines ad infinitum based upon their true inability to adapt in a more aggressive way. Deiss was holding the feet of the company to the fire on that score and they dumped him. Not good.

      His passionate "opinion" sounds like marketing brainwash from IDRA to me. And continues with the endorsement of shaving blades or the Anker product here in this video.
      For the casting: it is only successful, if other properties are in line with expectations as well: scrap rates of the cast pieces, acceptable quality with regard to blowholes/shrinkholes, low effort in post-treatment after a casting had been cast by the casting machine, handling efforts. It is only revolutionary and innovative, if it matches a number of these criteria, which he did not even mention. And in addition: whether the same casting can be put in Model 3 and Model, which likely isn't the case. So the large castings idea may match with some ways to build cars, but not with all of them, expecially when building many product lines in one factory. A true engineering standpoint would take that into account.

      @AMortalDefiant 2 роки тому +5

      I know! I've been having this argument with people for years. If the frame/underbody is bent, even in a traditionally-made car, the insurance is going to write that off as a loss, and send you a check. One of my first cars was a Honda Civic. I got into a accident, which *looked* pretty minor, but I bent in the undercarriage by the front passenger door, and the insurance company wrote me a $12k check. If you're in a bad enough collision to bend the frame, you're getting a new car either way, so the "repair cost" is a moot point; they will never be repaired.

      It applies all through the production. Superfast Matt did a nice video on th differences between the original Model S handles, and the later ones. Part of the reason for the changes was early Tesla was not getting much response from the parts suppliers, but now when Tesla calls up, it's "Oh Hi! What can we do for you?" The newer handles are more sophisticated,, but much more reliable, and likely cheaper. Sandy has done lots on the superbottle, and then the Octovalve. It's all through the cars.

    So nice to hear Cost of Quality mentioned. Having been in the quality arena for 30 years, no one is so close to quality as Sandy. Also, process improvement is a large part of quality and no one exemplifies that better than Elon Musk and Tesla. Instead of Kaizen or TPS and step improvements, First Principles goes for the breakthrough process and is THE quality improvement methodology of the future. Sandy and Elon say so many quality related ideas such as reduced process steps, reduced parts, no spaghetti diagrams, Poka Yoke or mistake proof process, its just great! And Tesla has no problem with others seeing these videos because Elon has a mission to expand the knowledge, not hold tight to it. Thanks for the great presentation guys.

    I still think the cross-car beam of the battery, on which the seats sit, should be part of the body structure, and the battery inverter should be under the hood. The battery would still form the floor and the cross-car beam will give it more attachment points. These changes simplify the rear casting a little, and the assembly line workers can stand either side of the cross-car beam to do installations. The front and rear seats, the console, wiring harnesses and carpet can be installed before the battery is installed. Honda has a fold up rear seat in some of its vehicles. The space under the rear seat can be storage for driver/passengers.

I can do a nearly complete body in white with 3 gigacastings, 4 extrusions, and 2 floor stampings. The doors and lift gate structures would also be gigacast with injection molded plastic skins inside and out. Assembly would be very simple with thermal slip fit techniques along with snap fit panels and a handful of interior fasteners to prevent attempted disassembly from outside the vehicle.

    When I was a "kid" I had a summer job in a "traditional" truck assembly plant. Lots of "bits an pieces" coming in by truck and train, forklifts everywhere, great fun scooting around. Fork lift was much more fun than hand bombing a rail car full of exhaust pipes, NOISE!, or manually unloading a transport truck full to the ceiling with foam seats.
    .
    It took 2 weeks in summer to 'convert' to new model year. Take machines out, bring new ones in. "Clean up" unused stock, ie dumping racks of rusty doors. My favorite was using the forklift to dump a dozen or so 40+foot long truck frames that had been cut in half into a dumpster. Why? Because some mook put the wrong mounting brackets on (or wrong place). It was "cheaper" (and safer for some foreman), to quietly scrap them.
    .
    My favorite story was that after the model change, almost every pickup truck going down the line was dragging it's muffler. At the end of the line, they didn't start them, the trucks were dragged to parking lot, waiting for repair. During the change over, some engineer or planner hadn't provided the right hanger bracket to mount the muffler. 3 shifts a day, 8 hours a shift, 45 vehicles per hour were dragged off to the parking lot waiting for a simple hanger bracket ... Cost of Quality(?)
