Behind every piece of software is a piece of hardware.

[@framegrace1]

heard of "Fail fast Fail often"? The whole CI/CD world in software development is basically what Munro calls "Lean" but applied to software. So it's really a lot more related than you think. Tesla/SpaceX use the equivalent of "agile" for manufacturing. (Never really fully applied at that scale)

[@Miata822]

@@markbeleski3524 It is important for Tesla fans and especially Tesla investors to understand at least the basics of manufacturing. many call Tesla a tech company or a software company. This is simply not true. Every dollar Tesla earns comes from selling a product they manufactured in a factory. In order for Tesla shares to be worth the price they sell for today the company needs to build and sell millions of vehicles. They are learning quickly but face serious competition from experienced experts as they move forward. Tesla's continued rapid growth depends on developing mastery over and vastly expanding their supply chain and manufacturing techniques.

That's right, we need a titanium option for the Cybertruck.

[@thuongvo736]

András Bíró good luck with affording that. Titanium isn’t really that expensive but at a pretty costly amount. The cost is the labor it’s hard to work with. Also I heard it’s kinda rare. Putting it on a truck that will add the Tesla from $40,000 to probably an extra $10,000 or $20,000 at most. So the truck would be around $60,000.

[@guringai]

@@thuongvo736 . I think Andras is joking, but it's fun to contemplate. Titanium would be much lighter - & could be anodised for some truly beautiful colours! It's common enough as an element but expensive to refine. Performance bicyles are often made of Ti.

Love it or hate it, people want to know about it, everyone is talking about it and wouldn't say no to having a ride in one.

[@amon_san]

will you be going into the details of how the unibody material behaves in the event of a crash? how differently does the material behave in the event of high speed collisions? what about collisions between the truck and a person (also compared to a conservative design)?

[@steveseeger]

It should benefit from the same improvements found in other Tesla's vs ICE for the most common head on collision you have more empty space up front (no giant gas motor and accessories) allowing for best in class crumple zone. If you are in an accident, being in the heavier vehicle is an advantage with transfer of energy, less energy gets transferred to your person. CT is heavier than all those trucks. It may be worse for striking a pedestrian since its a giant truck, heavy and harder materials.. however Tesla has the best pedestrian avoidance system with all the cameras surrounding the car running algorithms to analyse and detect objects constantly.

Excellent work here explaining the pros and cons of each material. Please don’t stop what you’re doing. Thank you

[@BringBacktheGreeks]

Mr. Munro, you are a Master of your Art. Now you got me hooked on your presentations, and on using your favorite expression in my company's presentations : "...and what not."

[@serta5727]

Really interesting as always

[@elmu3198]

Great and so Very Very interesting video !!!! Thanks so much

[@bradjackson1691]

Thanks Sandy. Found you from one of the Autoline After Hours episodes about the i3 which I drive. I loved the technical info and learning more about the i3 and Tesla vehicles. I'm not an engineer but I can understand it and be entertained. Great work.

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

Sandy, very interesting episode! this is great stuff. Lots of insights into different manufacturing and challenges with different materials! Than you!

[@sam_well]

Thanks for the insights, helpful as always! Do you have any book recommendations on basic engineering?

[@all69anna]

Thanks Sandy. You're my go-to reference for the manufacturing aspect of Tesla. Who knew I'd find this so fascinating 😂

[@battlefieldworld]

Hello from the Windy City! Love the graphics and the in depth analysis of the materials that go into making products such as Tesla’s or RAMs. Keep it up Sandy!

[@utcman]

Another great video, thank you!

[@butchbailey8565]

Great show. The Laser etching pre bending, interesting, but I have this image of 2 guys manually aligning panels in a conventional brake. The Prototypes were probably done this way, manually. I believe the bending will need to be automated for alignment and multiple braking starting with panel crease line and multiple braking in fixture to brake 90* edges for TIG welding assembly by ROBOTS. To automate this bending process requires lots of equipment too which are robotic and complicated and different than stamping but probably expensive for automated production. Great comparing comparing RIDGELINE ENDOSKELETON differing with CYBERTRUCK EXOSKELETON, Were DELOREAN panels stamped using thin Stainless Steel. I thought You gave GOOD comments about all 3 trucks and a lot of people learned for the first time about Carbon Fibre option for GMC box. JAY LENO show tonight could cause pre orders for CYBERTRUCK to move up from 700 thousand to 1 million. Note to Elon, please give that Truck to Sandy in his Shop for as long as he wants and You will double pre orders to 2 million.

[@genephipps6421]

Actually there are already automated CNC brakes and they are not all that expensive relatively speaking.

Certainly the most funny post... If you add that Sandy M. is "Detroit" boy, then it would be even 10 million of pre-order!!!

[@jmssun]

Wow! This is such a wonderful presentation! This long form presentation is like a Joe Rogan Experience episode for car manufacturing! Wonderful work! Thank you! Shout out from Taiwan🇹🇼！ BTW You are so right with wearing mask! We wear masks everywhere, and we are now 40 days without new case! Almost virus free!

[@MunroLive]

Thank you James!

[@r3toun]

Hearing these kinds of discussions about manufacturing of modern vehicles is incredibly interesting! Thank you

[@piyushyardi9308]

Wow! As an engineer I am extremely happy to have found you and your channel. Sharing this with all my colleagues...Regards from India!

[@StormyDog]

Elon's watching this now, getting hints on actually building the Cybertruck from Sandy. BTW, it seems that reservations have skyrocketed again because of "Leno's Garage". Maybe they'll need 2 factories. ;-)

[@retroenergy2358]

Yep, I must admit I ordered one after watching that episode of Leno’s Garage.

[@csweezey18]

I love the fact that Sandy Munro, a hardcore car-guy, is now a hardcore Tesla fan. WE MUST CONVERT MORE OF THEM TO THE WAY OF TESLA.

[@caoYB]

Thanks for the inserts, very well done

[@garymellor2084]

Love the work Sandy, thanks for another great insight.

[@dannyotter7247]

Bloody brilliant again Sandy! :-). Some further of your insight into the possible crash worthy ness/design elements would be really welcome. Especially around pedestrian safety (my personal view is the roads are cars, not people). But current and future legislation and regulation is looking to be far more strict and layered (EuroNCAP for me). Also just imagine the winch you can have with that setup 😂😎

[@pauldesi]

Sorry but the world isn't meant to plan for everything.. if you walk in front of a car.. something bad will happen. Kind a like if a tree falls in the woods.. things under/ in it's path will be changed for ever. Don't think God had this debate with mother nature... if he so wanted to protect everything against anything then I guess the trees we see would be wrapped in cotton:)

[@eclectricmagazine]

Yeah he doesn't make sense that a "Large" Unibody frame would "make the truck look better". Guys full a crap, just another elon ball licker

[@Martin-se3ij]

@@eclectricmagazine Try not to beat about the bush.

[@1djbecker]

@@pauldesi Regulations insist that you plan on some things. Your personal opinion doesn't matter. They have had a huge impact on the look of modern vehicles. Lower, softer, more rounded hoodlines without projections are pretty much mandated.

[@kjer6071]

One metric rarely mentioned is: How far out does the road disappear under your hood? CyberTruck seems to win that one handily.

[@lemongavine]

kjer maybe Jay Leno will mention that on Jay Leno’s Garage tonight on TV (Cybertruck episode).

[@manfrescattoni1097]

This channel should be named “MUNRO THE LEGEND”

[@markbeckett3317]

Love that you have started on the Cyber Truck

Sandy you are the man.

[@ZACH12311]

I'm really interested to hear about the rivian pickup and SUV as well!

[@michaelmara1338]

Love Munro live! Just subscribed. Keep it up Sandy.

[@Lucuskane]

Informative, thanks for sharing

[@Blend3d]

Very interesting!

[@crazy2242]

I'm curious if all cybertrucks are parked in the same parking lot, can we identify whose cybertruck is whose without the paint job? Let's say if I'm being forgetful about where I parked haha

[@shepherdsknoll8]

It's adds character 😎

[@tlowee]

In depth yet accessible relevant information. Thanks Munro Live team!

[@glennedwards1449]

Mr Munroe I would just like to express my appreciation for the wonderful job that you do presenting complex information which you obviously know extremely well. In a manner which is not only understandable to people who know little or nothing regarding enginering or automanufactuers construction techniquies. But done in an interesting and entertaining manner. I hope you continue to find time in your no doubt busy life to do so. Thank you

[@MunroLive]

Knowing that people find the information useful and insightful makes it all worth doing! Thanks for the kind words, Glenn, and thanks for tuning in!

[@Gabriankle]

Mr. Munro: I'm wondering why you recomend waterjet cutting over laser? I've priced waterjet parts vs laser cut parts (1" Gade 50 steel plate) and the waterjet is generally 3-5x more expensive because of the inches per minute of cut. I'm guessing it's the edge quality/zero heat warpage and ultimate precision of the waterjet and how this eleminates problems down the line. Still, a well tuned laser using nitrogen can leave a very clean edge and very little Heat Affected Zone with .0025" precision while running crazy fast. I'm sure you've done studies on this, what are your thoughts on these processes?

[@idahorx1]

Agreed. Waterjet edges are also rough compared to laser cutting. That's one of the advantages of SS over Al, easier to laser cut.

[@MegaCalcii]

Sandy, it's very interesting to watch and listen to you, from Russia with love.

[@dianewomble527]
