No disrespect to Sandy, interviewing is a learned skill.

[@kevinarm]

Sandy, thank you for what you do. Please ask questions engineer to engineer next time you get an interview with Elon. This interview could of been an extremely unique deep dive into the engineering much like the 48 volt and ethernet part of the interview. There is possibly no-one who could talk to what it means when Elon says "production is hard" than you. Possibly your NDA kept you from having these discussions but walking the body in white with him would of been amazing.

[@CallsignVega]

Ya this was a total missed opportunity.

[@Ritalie]

I'm still confused why they have ethernet running about in the vehicle. Do you need ethernet to power speakers? I don't get it. Isn't running ethernet to speakers unnecessarily complicated? They said that they reduced wire weight by 82% with the 48 volt system. 400% more voltage, means you can drop the wire size dramatically, in addition to the CAT6 ethernet wire acting to communicate with everything, drops the wire harness requirements from 450 wires down to about 150 wires on the Cybertruck wiring harness. Watch the new Munro video just released with the Tesla engineering team! It was AMAZING!

[@oBCHANo]

Elon explained why, in just a few words, his companies are just burying the competition. He said in effect "a manager needs to understand the product.". So many managers understand accounting and law, but can't tell the difference between a Axle and a Ax.

The Cybertruck extended range requires more kWh then some EVs have in total just for Sentry mode to work. A Fiat 500e has 84 miles range. Max Cybertruck range is 470 miles (20%=94). We are told to only use 50% by Tesla; "only charge to 80% for daily driving / at high use superchargers" and "Sentry mode is unavailable below 20%, so charge at 30%". Sandy should have asked why Sentry mode is disabled at 20% instead of 44 miles (or make it smart; turning off Sentry mode based on how far your charging destination is away from your parking spot).

[@ParodyGuy2024]

That is the beauty of being on the spectrum. Elon is only working it well to his advantage. When you harness the power of autism and are extremely high functioning, you can deliver very critical information and process thought in ways other cannot. We tend to take the human element out of it and take a more logical approach on thought when it comes to reciting knowledge. However, we are very awkward socially and sometimes say things off the cuff without thought. The downfall of being on the spectrum.

We were Space X's first customers and lender to Tesla (as well an all kinds of subsidies for EV generally). That VC pick was a winner. SpaceX and Tesla build great products, employ many Americans and pay lots of taxes. Note 1: It is OK to shut the fuck up about things you do not know about Sandy and 2: It is OK to say something nice about government. ... they ended with allusions to a civil war. ... that would be a really bad outcome for the economy and products that we aspire to buy and enjoy owning.

Joe Rogan did the same thing as Sandy, if I remember right.

[@42bill]

I feel like Sandy could have asked a dozen more specific questions about the CyberTruck and the ramping of 4680 batteries which goes hand in hand with CyberTruck production. Instead he hit sidetracked so many times. I wish Corey was there.

33:00 if you didn’t pay attention Elon Musk just gave a timeframe for the $25,000 world changing design car to be produced when he said the Mexico factory is too far out on timeline and it only takes about two years to produce the factory which means they are planning on this card being released within two years give or take 6 to 8 months.

The way Jim Farley is behaving lately, I would not be surprised if Ford and Tesla announce a HUGE partnership soon. Jim's a down to earth guy who is a patriot for his company and he doesn't want to see it go down because of bad business decisions. The F150 lightning is a good car, but their losses are catastrophic. Only Tesla can bring them back on track.

Nice to see you guys having a chat. I can't overstate my admiration and gratitude for the progress forced by Tesla, spacex, etc. I still struggle with the other free speech and various freedoms vs historical racism and other forms of bullying (dominance and subjugation stuff). I understand some of it is likely too far a stretch and itself abused or merely overstated. But if we have lived without much experience of harm because of being in a minority or so, its worth stretching yourself to minimise harm when possible. Good luck guys. Wish you and your teams well and good fortune achieving your goals.

I am late to this conversation, but wanted to add a thought. Your interview was fascinating and informative. Usually the commercials in videos are a waste of time, and sometimes even cringe worthy. Your commercial in this video, though long, was fascinating, almost like one of your regular videos. What an amazing product--so informative and educational. I don't personally have any need for the services of this company, but trust some of your viewers will. They will have an amazing resource. Thanks for bringing an advertisement that was not useful for me, yet most informative and interesting. Well worth the time to watch it.

[@falmenara]

I loved the interview Even the sponsor part was cool. There were some good insights at least for me (like the kind of product that the Cybertruck is vs Model Y and 3), but I agree that getting such opportunity (again), the interviewer could have had more questions in the pocket, and given the 30 minutes slot, be a little bit more structured. It was a natural talk for confirming assumptions and to express admiration from someone who has tried to bring some of these innovations to the industry before, but crashed with the dynamics of big companies. And he (Sandy) is super happy to see that finally it's happening (and that Sandy, was right at the time). It's a little bit like the previous interview with Elon Musk a couple of years ago, where Sandy talked a little bit too much (maybe). Now a little bit more, not a lot of space for Elon Musk to intervene. But it was positive, otherwise he is not afraid to interrupt and intervene. It was obviously not that context. From my perspective, Elon is a little bit tired and without a lot of time, on the other he is listening with patience and interest. But I think he was more prepared to bring topics in a short hand-on-hand dialogue. Definitely he is not as relaxed as the long conversation with the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley, that was a two hours conversation. I am sure that Sandy Munro could have gone deeper about some topics (for example about manufacturing ideas, future of batteries, good was bringing the topic about BYD...) and Elon Musk publicly rarely he has the opportunity to go deep in interviews. It could have been better content. But hey, Sandy Munro is who he is, and he is fantastic. And Elon Musk is a remarkable gift for us all.

A great chat between two knowledgeable engineers. Elon demonstrates how important it is for a CEO to be a good listener.

[@oneinchpunched3661]

Above all the incredible things about Elon in this interview, that’s what I took from this too. He is pressed on time, Sandy is getting into constantly new topics, but Elon not only doesn’t show disengagement or stress. On the contrary, he remains steady eye contact and actually replies instantly with relevant answers. Really listening and if they happen to interrupt each other, lets the other person speak.

[@nickmcconnell1291]

Thanks so much Sandy for this interview! You got it on the head.... it's all about leadership. Elon said that the CT was not a "bet the company" vehicle and that is what allowed them to experiment. My guess is that OEMs see each qtr's financial performance as "betting the company" and that is why they cannot innovate, or if they do it's glacial speed. OEM management needs to learn how to risk failure again. They can't seem to and instead think that using R&D money for stock buy backs is more efficacious. Look for Mary Barra to retire by end of next year. She is pumping the stock to maximize her yearly bonus... then she will sell all she can at the higher price too. Get ready to see her congratulate her leadership on "saving GM" then she'll leave before GM's assured demise.

I kind of wish Sandy would prepare a little bit before these interviews to have a series of engineering centric questions, because unfortunately, I think he talked a little bit too much in this interview, and understandably I would to if I were sitting down with Musk, but I would be more interested to hear more about the engineering and how/why certain decisions were made.

Monday morning QB here but what Sandy should have drone is sent a list of deep engineering questions to Elon before the interview so he could have though ahead and made the 45 minutes of responses full of interesting technical information. That would have allowed them to discuss things in detail vs. Sandy trying to be a professional interviewer.

Back in the early 90's at university we built prototype 2 wire data/power systems for cars, with a small IC at each corner. Our profersors had showed off a mark 3 escort (when the mark 3 was new in the mid 80's) to ford with a small tupperware sized container in each corner with a similar system - they scared the engineers by having driven the experimental car to them, not trailered it!
