I never cared much about the "how" of car interior until I started watching Carl explain things, and man has he gotten even better at doing it over time!
Agreed. He's getting comfortable with the process. He knows his stuff. What I would love to hear from Carl is a long view perspective. I was at a car museum sometime back. They had a row of Corvettes - there must have been 40 model. In the beginning the interior was space age, cockpit looking with lots of details. Around I would guess about 1976 it turned into dull blackout plastic. Still had gauges etc - just no soul. When you look at Pininfarina or some of the famous US designers they were true artists. Carl would know why this happened. Was it just cost? Does it cost that much more to have detail? I can also remember when the Japanese cars started to overtake Detroit. Detroit big metal had car names in chromed metal molded script letters. Japanese cars had metalized decals in script letters. I bet Carl could do a series.
"As a tier 1 im upset that there aren't enough interior components to make profit on"
This explains every modern car interior imo.
Everyone gets their slice of the pie.
And the unions… more complex means more labor
@@jonathannumer5415 LOL, complexity appeals to stupid people. ;^) ua-cam.com/video/sF8b-jZILTg/v-deo.htmlsi=HXMzJzlziRkX7ren
💯
Simple saves money! Customer’s final objective. Best result at cheapest price. I say way to go Tesla team.
Not only does Carl know cars but he can also do voiceover work. Man of many talents!
munro doesnt know good engineering either does tesla if they did they be criticizing the electronic crap doors. no real physical handles/mechanical doors also they would be pissing on lack of start buttton and turn signal stocks and windshield wiper buttons and headlight buttons or physical gear shifter without its just bad design 101 and overly cost cutting so much to a point all of these are safety hazards
@@billybobbob3003
Work on your grammar and your opinion may carry more weight.... 😉
@@rogerstarkey5390 grammar doesnt equate to intelligence. simple appliances man the batteries are expensive as sh1t. electric motors and batteries will always be more expensive than a combustion engine and a fuel tank lol.
@@rogerstarkey5390 my opinions are not opinions they are based on FACTS.
@@rogerstarkey5390 ed cole is better designer than munro ever will be. made best engine ever 4.3 v6 and 350 chevy and no electric engine/lithium battery will ever touch em!
I have never heard an argument for not having your hand at the top of the wheel. As a person who occasionally does this I appreciate the warning!
Came here to say the same thing. Good to know
Or passengers who put their feet on the dash. Passenger airbag goes off and boom feet hitting the ceiling and possible broken bones.
That was one of the primary reasons Tesla created the yoke on the S/X. Your hands are forced into safe positions on the wheel. Still a few owners want to have there hands on the top, and Tesla had to relent and provide a round wheel. I like the yoke myself.
That brings up another issue. The horn is atop the airbag, so if you’re honking when you crash, you’ll break your arm.
Another argument is how much you can turn the wheel from that position, say you need to make a sudden turn in an emergency, you're pretty limited in both the amount you can steer and how precise you can be.
(Of course, you'd likely grab with both hands at this point, but it's still a case to be made anyway!)
Carl, you're awesome to listen to and learn from. Munro is lucky to have you and it's great for us that you're part of Munro's amazing team. Keep the video coming!
I appreciate that!
I do not understand something, why is americans hate on the most american car company??? Why is this guy such a downer with this car, because is a competitor to Ford, and maybe Ford is paying his salary... this review sucks no entertainment for me dislike!
@dragosmihai1001 'demon rats' attack anyone who challenges the communist agenda.
@@dragosmihai1001 It's his job to be critical.... Munro is pretty clearly pro Tesla, and they're honest with their assessments
@@chestermartin2356 He actually said "I don't like the outside appearance, it doesn't look like a truck to me. BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER. Let's look at the features". He then professionally assesses the vehicle construction and materials. You're so right.
Put all your ratchet straps and tie-downs in the Frunk, Carl?
Yeah, that was a really weird example to make it into the final edit of this video. There are so many random "what ifs" that are not explicitly related to this vehicle, why bother including "what if you're hauling something and it's on top of the rear trunk?.
Or under passenger seats? You know in advance if your going to need them!
Only in an emergency is it an issue but no spare tyre either so hardly an issue in that respect
Not sure I want my assessories in the frunk. Likely in a bag under the back seat.
then why put storage there in the first place? seems like a great place for a spare tire instead of
@@deathraylabs_nature Tesla clearly decided that carrying around a spare wheel 100% of the time was an unreasonable trade off with the loss of range/efficiency that that additional weight would bring. Most people buying a $100k vehicle don't use spares I suspect.
For the burrs on the edge of the stainless panels there are two things that you should know. First the panels are laser cut not stamped. That will change the amount of burr, maybe even eliminate it. Also Tesla has mentioned they have a process to slightly round all the edges so they are not sharp.
They call it "coining". Like the slightly rounded edges of a coin.
Out of Spec Reviews did an amusing check on frunk closure. The missus called it a 'carrot cutter' - they used carrots to show how potentially dangerous it can be. DO NOT get your flangies caught in the side edges during closure.
I am completely unsure about whether there is an automatic servo over-current trip if an obstruction is encountered and whether it is correctly set to stop at a suitable (finger) resistance - like most window winders. OoSR did not extend testing beyond carrots.
@@jimparr01Utube Bubblewrap the world Daddy its so Scawee!
Found the Stan!
@@jimparr01Utubesomeone tried it with gloves and it didn’t reverse, they didn’t get cut, but they needed a second person to open the frunk.
Love the delivery of this video. The guy only speaks when he’s got something to say, no filler. Fab.
A great insight into vehicle design elements that most of us wouldn’t even think about.
More please from this gent
That stainless Cadillac roof is so cool!
23:00 Reason for the plastic cover on the seat bottom is more utility when loading/unloading cargo placed there. Plastic is a smooth hard surface nothing will catch on while fabric provides a hooking or staging point.
Also, as there are storage bins for under the seat you are going to want a hard surface under the seat to keep them clean or free of damage for anything stored below.
@@DahGrillYeah, Joe Tegtmayer did a video showing it. Since it's removable, you don't lose the ability to load large items inside the cab.
6:16 All of that stuff can be stored in the back under the seat in a bin (Tesla sells these in their shop). Or, you can store them equally as easy in the frunk space.
I can’t get over this guy (Carl) and his intimate familiarity with every detail of how a vehicle is designed and what materials are used. I can’t even imagine how someone gets this depth of knowledge without decades of intense practical experience. Phenomenal. This guy is the definition of expertise. 👍
The plastic under the back seat is there to protect it when you put objects in between the gap between the front seat and the back seat.
So there is a gap there under the back seats. It looks like it, but was not sure 👍
Agree, carpet would easily get scuffed or torn, and at the very least be much harder to keep clean
Yet there's a delicate 9 inch screen sitting low that you have worry about getting damaged.
Carl, at one point you speculate on how the SS panels are cut and formed, and whether the edges need to be dressed. Didn't Munro Live do a video where Sandy was taken through that section of the factory? And describe how the laser cutting leaves a micron accurate shape? I can't see how or why those blanks need to be dressed.
Carl thinks you can stamp 300 series stainless steel!
The flat area under the windscreen has a use that nobody seems to mention. If your grandmother is moving a big cake or a serving plate of food by truck, she opens the door, puts the cake on the dashboard, sits down and puts on a seat belt, takes the cake and hold it while you drive. Lovely and grandmother-friendly. If you want a curvy and complicated dash, you just hate cakes and grandmothers. 😅 It even works somewhat for a driver carrying a plate, since there is space in front of the steering wheel while you get in. Good stuff! Cake shelf FTW!
Also perfect for bringing home a pizza! And the hot sun will keep it warm.
@@DC-yh2oy ...or the defrost windscreen mode. 😅
honestly someone can make a huge screen and have the worlds biggest heads up display lol
If it was the 50s we’d leave kids there too :)
Great story telling. But for me I would forget the food plate is there, UNTILL I stomped the 'electron pedal'!
In a time when everyone is a social media EV expert, Carl is refreshing.
Carl is such a master at translating his thoughts and experience. Actually, everyone at Munro seems to be gifted like that.
It’s a Production Engineering firm. They are all about the “how”.
Except for Mr Munro himself. He is no longer really into Production Engineering and more into big business, manufacturer strategegy, finance, money, marketing, influencership and more of an emotional speaker with lots of verbal exaggerations, lacking figures, pro and con arguments, calculations, estimates.
Sorry Carl, but if the sun is so low that you need the visor for forward vision, the sun can't be overhead simultaneously. The glass "slit" would likely appear black in relation to those conditions and the eye's ( and brain's ) dynamic range.
But what if you're driving your Cybertruck on a planet in a solar system that has two suns, what then?😋
It could be half way between both positions. Or the angle of the truck changes based on topography of the road. It’s a very valid concern. They should have made a pull down shade hidden in the roof panel.
Ha! The Sun is several almost 900.000 miles across. It it occupies your lower field of view, it will occupy the upper as well.😅
@@PaulSmith-tn4yu You have to upgrade to the Tatooine package. Typical money grab! 😅
@@PaulSmith-tn4yuLMFAOOOOOOO
This is the best Cybertruck video I have seen to date!!! And I have seen them all 😅. Comprehensive, original, informative, content! Finally someone brings a great Analysis that interests me and is informative thank you😅
good to see a review that isn't a fanboy or a teslaq , pragmatism can be a good thing 👍👍
Most tear downs that are done people become fanboys. The engineering and innovation in Tesls Vehicles is the best in the world. Toyota tore down the model Y and called it a beautiful masterpiece of engineering. & Toyota knows a thing or two about good engineering. They have to are not going to just randomly heap praise on their competitor
Carl is spot-on with not ‘liking’ the look of a vehicle while appreciating (or disliking)certain other aspects of
My favorite feature... all of the fingerprints on the exterior. Really personalizes the design.
Carl is hands down the best storyteller at Munro!
The way this guy narrates these videos makes me want to watch more. First time watching a review by him but I want to watch more. Great content guys!
I suspect the sun visor is good for seeing traffic lights without leaning forwards
tall people thank you for this
Great job Carl. Very clear with many interesting insights!
Thank you!
i never understood people who like interiors with dozens of buttons and controls which they never even use during the whole ownership of the car... i love how clean and minimalistic the interiors look in all tesla cars
Famous words to live by "you can't hinge that way, it's gonna hurt".
Carl, former crash test person
Excellent content. You can tell Carl really knows his shit. This guy is full of good information and I can’t wait for the tear down.
How did he not notice the wavy white door and dash panels. My friend's looked horrible and you could actually see staple (?) points telegraphing through. Looks really bad. What is the cause? Not what you would expect from at $100K truck.
Oh, he noticed...
13:55 There are definitely speakers under there, like in all Teslas. The CT has 15 total speakers and I would imagine 4 of them are under that panel.
Carl is really a great presenter with this stuff. Well done
This is the only channel I like the commercials, they are interesting.
I like Carl's delivery a lot better than most of the other Munro employees. Informative and not condescending. Thx
It looks like a military vehicle, like an armored personnel carrier. Suits 2024🤓🤓
The plastic panels in the back are good, if you are loading saws in the back of the truck.
Biggest miss in the Cybertruck design is the lack of integrated storage for a full size spare tire like every other pickup truck.
IVE ONLY EVER driven trucks my whole life and used to order truck floors WITHOUT carpet. Now that is NOT an option. SO THIS IS GREAT .....EASY TO CLEAN WITH GARDEN HOSE !!!!!
Muddy boots is what suits a truck, right? If somebody wants to install a shag carpet, let them do it themselves.
Except for those weird dividers in the front that look like rock, mud, and water collectors. I dont get why its isnt just flat.
@@patreekotime4578 I guess we will find out in this series.
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 I kinda doubt. They usually only do one interior review.
This gentleman is superb !! I really admire his commentary!
Would love to see what it looks like with passenger seat and riser removed
the HEAD RESTS ARE A DEAL BREAKER for people like me with HERNIATED DISCS in their neck. I have my head rest turned around in 2 of my vehicles and completed removed in 1 of my trucks. so too bad for me BUT it sure would be nice to BE ABLE TO ADJUST . I have my heart set on a CYBERTRUCK AND have on on order . I m so far down the list its absurd . but I will definitely sit in one B4 I follow thru with my order . if it hurts my neck I won't be able to drive it
A thoughtful and fluid analysis, good work Carl! Perhaps Munro should let you use the truck for a couple of days to prove out some of those questions?
Carl talks about Tier 1 for the IP. What if Tesla does it “in-house”, eliminating a Tier-1 for the IP.
Exactly what Tesla does with the electric motors, inverter, seats💺 etc.
Wonderfully done Carl! I hope the interior ends up surprising you in a positive way when it is torn down!
Back screen seems like a bit of a waste, everyone has phones and it's not that comfortable to look down at this screen. It would be 1000x more usefull to just put that screen in front of the driver for info and it would further differentiate these more expensive models from the Model 2 when it eventually comes out. Maybe just put a thin long monochrome screen on the back for essential controls and ditch the whole "entertainment" thing for the back.
You keep saying, “Stamped” the stainless steel is not stamped…
"You can't hinge that way, it's going to hurt" 😂
Automotive engineer giving advice to puny humans.
Carl. this was excellent. Thank you sir.
It might have been a good idea to replace the visor with something like a roller blind coming down from the bulkhead behind the top of the front window. Probably way to complex.
Always great to watch a Carl commentary. He calls it as he sees it.
No! He will come back a grinning fan-boy and go easy on the nerdy details! 😆
This teardown is one that'll go down in history and I can't wait! 👏
Carl knows his stuff.
If you buy a Cybertruck to do a lot of towing, i think you've bought the wrong truck.
For "a lot of short distance towing" it would probably be excellent. But if you are moving stuff 7 states over every day, probably not so much.
Typical Vehicle Reviewer: This panel gap is a little wider, but otherwise it looks fine to me.
Carl: Hold my beer.
Carl, you're missing a bunch of information. Some of your critiques are based on not having all of the information. Under seat storage bins, hence the plastic underside of the rear seats.
1:19 the direction of that USB-C cable triggers my OCD 😂
Thanks for pointing it out 🤣
Dash looks like a dust collector
What dash isn't?
@@DC-yh2oy moon lander?
Waiting for my VIN to be assigned. Excited for the rest of this series!
11:54 "Look at this instrument panel..." ... ya lost me there buddy.
Great presentation. I liked it. Thanks.
Dressing the burrs on the edges is probanly far easier than making a hem on thicker metal.😊
Hemming that is not an option. He should have watched this guy Sandy getting a tour of the factory on some youtube channel...
The underneath storage in the bed seems like big problem if you ever use it. Based on the video, I don’t see how you could reach the bottom after bending over the bed gate. It’s a lot of space that no one will be able to reach. They need to design a better tail gate so you can get at that space.
Only tall or athletic people who can reach or climb on the tail gate are safe.😂😅
For crying out loud, just sit on the tailgate. People have been sitting on tailgates since pickup trucks were invented.
@@gloredonThat’s one solution to a bad design. Another would be for Tesla to build a tailgate that can get out of the way. 48 volt and steer by wire are great innovations but the tailgate still needs work.
I don't get the concern about the extra storage under the vault. Sure, if the bed is full, you can't use that space. But you still have the underseat space, AND frunk space to keep that stuff in if that's a concern.
Touch screens are a dangerous “take your eyes off the road” control interfaces. A few buttons/dials for most functions are vastly superior ergonomically .
Love the video, and love the guy presenting!
11:25, that white panel on the door? My gosh, it hurts my eyes with all the inconsistencies.
Carl for the win!
The white components on the dash and on the door look warped. Also, it’s a truck. Why would you put white up there it’s gonna get full of dirt and muck.
18:00 the seating and view with the sunvisor are very hard to understand without giving us the persons height.
Great video! Well presented and such good videography!
I didn't realized how much I've missed Carl and his insights until this aired.
Suggestions for pet mode: a cover automatically protects the rear seat screen, OR the rear screen tunes in animal planet.
TY Carl, even for me being a not-sa.car-person , I learn so much , so I always enjoy your knowledge and the way you share it. (Btw. my first and only car is a 1969 Opel Admiral and my second will be a Cybertruck once it comes to europe, but living in center of old Vienna/Austria, you really don't need a car ,besides for road-trips)
It's the coolest looking thing! I love the exterior look! Very futuristic!
I love the CT and have been inside one, but wow, the white material on the doors looks really lumpy. Not good. I love the Alcantara though.
Same thought. The interior in general looks not well thought out IMO.
@@patreekotime4578 I would differ a little on that, having sat in one. I thought it was very nice overall but ya, there were a few things that weren't spot on. I really like the "squircle" steering wheel. It's a great mix of the yolk and a round wheel. All that said, the CT is demonstrably the best automobile ever built.
@@machoopichoo2 Non-flat floor is a weird choice... what is with those partitions? All of the material choices are baffling to me in a truck. How does one vaccuum the bugs out from under that giant solar cooker window without marring that fabric? And visibility seems difficult... how does one know where the front end is? I actually really like the overall design of the CT but the production form looks like a miss to me. It looks like a vehicle where the designers couldnt decide who they were building it for and just got lost in competing interests.
21:58 Tesla sells an under-seat bin accessory for the CyberTruck
I won't buy a car without a turn signal stalk. I've suffered enough with the HVAC and radio controls on my S being on the tablet, but if Tesla removes stalks from the redesigns, my S will be my last Tesla.
It's a non issue, but I had a similar concern at first. Most owners adjust within an hour or so of use. I prefer stalkless slightly now, although no problems with stalks either. It's easy to activate, and I love the automatic deactivation. When you exit to an offramp or get onto the freeway from a onramp it automatically turn off the blinkers - something mechanical stalks can't do.
There are aftermarket stalks and button and whatever people are thinking tesla should have added or not taken. Huds and drivers display start at about $50. They plug into the trucks existing wiring harness. If you really think any of these are deal breakers you never wanted the truck.
Nah. I have adapted to the no stalk wheel and now prefer it.
@@MsAjax409 We hear that a lot but the copy cat posters are like a dog with a bone.
@@MsAjax409 Any control that requires taking eyes off the road is a step backwards. My S has most functions on the tablet including the heat/AC, and I still hate it after 4 years, but I love driving my old farm Explorer into town. I can reach over and adjust the heat without taking my eyes off the road. If the next gen Tesla S has no stalks, I won't be buying it.
I love that when he's talking about the stainless steel in the very beginning he touches the hood and leaves fingerprints.
I wish the trunk could be opened more quietly and more technologically. It's very old style for such a futuristic vehicle. But i love Cybertruck ❤
I could not click on play fast enough knowing that Carl might be doing the interior review. Keep up the great work Carl.
"Other vehicles in the future" might be starship component type stuff. I'm excited to see the laser edge welding break downs.
Carl, you consistently do a wonderful job.
The white portion of the door card looks lumpy😅
Agreed. That was not good.
@@danharold3087 I have seen and touched one in person. It's laser straight. I am sure the materials specialists borrowed from SpaceX have figured out how to remove the memory from the steel.
I see these trucks on the highway in Austin Texas and they look like something out of a Science fiction movie
5:19 one reason the front doesn't overlap the side panel is because it's a frunk door that opens up. The other is that they cannot curve this metal the way you normally can...it's not stamped, it's bent with a brake.
There is literally no functional difference if the overlap was from the top/front.
shout to this guy.. He's great. thanks for the vid! 👍👍👍
Ok this is so next level - Very well done!!!!
Such great presentation, Carl. Relaxing, informative, perfect pauses. Keep it coming!
23:11 Back Seat Bottom cover must be plastic versus carpet, so it will not rip when thing are thrown in and out of the back seat floor. It's about function not cost.
I've got to say.....I do love the minimalism of TESLA interiors.
METICULOUS review! I really like not having carpet on the floor and inside door storage. This makes it practical as a hotshot service vehicle for small farms/forestry...
It will be a practical farm truck if you want to use it as your write-off.
Im kinda shocked that Carl didnt mention how LUMPY those white vinyl door panels are. They look terrible. I dont get why someone would want white in truck interior in the first place, but a darker color would have disguised the lumpyiness. Heck, good old fashioned upholstry would have looked much better and been more durable. Same with that fake suede dash top-hat. I guess it's purpose is to help deaden some of the sound reflections from the giant flat window... but it looks cheap and prone to damage. And im not convinced fabric is the best material under the tight corner of the window either... how are you supposed to vaccuum out all the dead bugs without marring that kind of fabric? Again, it seems like old fashioned upholstry would have been a more durable choice. And the riser the seat is on, sticking out so far seems like a hazard. And the floor in the front is... almost flat... but those dividers look like rock and mud collectors to me. How are you supposed to hose out that center compartment? Wouldn't an actually flat floor be better?
I donno... IMO this interior isnt anywhere near as nice as what the prototype seemed to promise, and it feels like it is filled with problematic decisions that will impact people who actually want to use this as a truck. In fact, it is hard for me to say who this interior is even designed FOR. 🤷♂️ Carl isn't usually such a soft touch... I've seen him absolutely inviscerate muuuch nicer looking interiors. This looks like an almost total fail to me. This somewhat reminds me of that awful BMW interior with the grandma quilt seats... Carl was wayyy too nice about that one too.
Well said. They cheapened it, cut corners, cut costs, and raised the price! This interior is a huge disappointment- and for $120K?
thanks Carl !
You're very welcome!
I cannot understand why Elon and Tesla don't hire these guys to overcome these design flaws before production.
because he is not a designer he is a critic
Thank you!
I mean the plastic bottom panel for the rear seat make a lot of sense, if you are folding the seat, you are storing item on the back row, which the plastic panel is stronger and more scratch resistant
A lot of people have become so simple they get exited looking at a triangle and say this is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen. There’s nothing wrong with simplicity and most trucks/cars look so alike - it’s boring. I get why this is exciting- it’s different. But different doesn’t always mean beautiful. This truck is by no means beautiful but it’s got some good angles (no pun intended) and it’s mostly ruin by the rudimentary wheel arches - it will look better on a square or hexagonal wheels - which kind of shows why they out of place. The whole thing looks like a movie prop done in a garage on the tight budget and a short deadline. I hate it and love it in the same time.
Interesting comment about placement of the front panel gap and its effect on airflow. Sharp corners are generally bad. Air breaks and eddy current form (bad). The forward facing gap may allow an air escape channel, lowering air speed around the corner. It would be interesting to see its effect in a wind tunnel.
Someone has already done a video on that.
Would be interesting if you guys could give your opinion on the crash safety and street leagal issues for Europe.
Agreed. I will say the, "it's way too large to be allowed in Europe," thing is completely false. There are Sprinters all over Europe that are the same width, but taller and much longer.
For why on the head rests, I recently had my head rest replaced under warranty due to the head rest vegan leather breaking down and becoming damaged. Now it isn’t a great thing for that to be happening in the first place but the mobile tech was able to remotely service my car in 15 minutes to swap it out. If the part was more integrated with the seat then I would likely be a more indepth fix. At the same time there could be a process for replacing the surface material that would achieve the same result. Another reason could be that the seat structure is better understood/research in regards to car crashes and instead of investing a lot of time to engineer a solution, it was cost effective to just build it like a normal seat structure.
