I wonder if you checked the battery pack for torsional stiffness, how much it will twist? The foam is strong and it looks like the foam itself adds structural strength. The foam will also provide sound dampening, isolating and any part of the truck that gets banged, the truck won’t sound like when you strike an empty 45 gallon drum.

@DougWedel-wj2jl 5 ай бұрын
There will always be a little bit of movement in every direction. If they are checking the engineering, testing the amount of twist would be part of that. It’s not so much to just check if this works. It’s to figure out what reduces twist and other movements like if the floor sags in the middle. When we know what works to achieve the results we want (like no twist), the next step would be to strip away what isn’t needed, to reduce complexity, have fewer parts, reduce weight. So many cross bars looks like they are needed for structural support. The best would be figure out how to get rid of them. You get a flatter floor, reduce parts, make a bit more space. The structures for the seats and centre console look like they could be designed in a way to use this as storage space, for under-seat storage. There is never too much space in a car or truck. The Model Y and the other cars, same thing, a big drawer might fit under each of the seats. The back seat bench might lift up to store tools.

The entire car shows the technical limits of electromobility. - Instead of one Cybertruck, Tesla could make ten simple, efficient and affordable small cars that would be helpful to many people around the world. And because it does little to help people, it will probably fail.

While battery penthouse is protected at rear of battery, it would be far cheaper to put the penthouse and all the motor inverters and charge port up front in one high mounted position under the hood - rotate the HVAC unit 90 degrees to make the space. Up front, the HV electrics, including all inverters, could all go in one intumescent plastic box with two cooling circcuits. Each motor inverter is behind its own cast housing - a lot of expensive 'packaging' to be done away with. Charge port and 'bar'' cables would be very short if in the front quarter panel behind and above the front wheel out of the way of the wheel breakaway during SORB test. Electricity flow is near instantaneous. When a voltage is applied, electrons 'drift' slowly - about a millimetre per second - but the electric field around the wire is created at near the speed of light. Makes no difference to the motor if the data cable and HV cables from the inverter are an extra 5m longer. Bringing power out the front of the battery only requires small protective plates on the front of the battery. The coolant tubes at front require protection anyway.

That wouldn't make sense because: - Tesla wants to have a big frunk, and this would eat into it - Tesla bases its serviceability on the frunk - by having a frunk, you get unobstructed access to all the under-the-hood components by simply removing the frunk. If there were high-mounted components in place of the frunk, you would have to remove them in order to access the rest. - You need to have a battery penthouse of sorts anyway for the pack contactors and BMS. You might as well extend it to house all the components in the way Tesla does, as it's very convenient waterproof space which brings down the cost of the components and connectors inside - If there was no battery penthouse where it is now, it would be unused space. Some EVs have unused space at that location because they don't have that penthouse, and it does look pretty bad from a design standpoint.

​@@celeron55 without the penthouse at the rear, there will be more space for other stuff in the rear. Trunk might lose a bit of space. HVAC would be organised a little differently. Battery is in 4 parts, so four sets of smaller cables would run from the battery to the upfront HV box. All the contactors would be in the HV box. A data cable would run from each of the four cell monitoring circuits. The battery will have fuses. A HV box up front with all the motor inverters would lead to consider material saving and space reduction in the vehicle for HV equipment. The HV box would be serviceable and circuitboards replaceable.

Does the Battery Management System (BMS) know the condition of each individual cell? Can the BMS control the charge/discharge of an individual cell, or does it look at groups or series? That's a lot of extra work to manage every cell individually. Wiring each cell, but are they applying individual sensors to each cell or doing that through the BMS?

OEMs didn’t get on the bus with 42 for other peripheral devices. If I recall, _Popular Mechanics_ ran an article back in 2009 titled _What Happened to the 42 Volt Car_ ? It will be interesting to see if 48 Volts catches on. The military and heavy duty trucking use 24 Volts.

Many competitors use Chinese and Korean battery packs as USA needs more battery factories as well as charging stations.

20:30 I’d love to see sensors for the coolant to see where a battery cell fails. You may not tell which cell but you could tell which row the failed battery is in. Likely one battery would heat up all the water as it exits the pack so you know there is a failure. Maybe the electric current would tell you which row the cell failure is in?

15:00 This centre rib is contoured to the groove in the pan. The edges of this cover are separate pieces from the big flat part of the cover so counting the flat section, 4 sides and that centre rib, that’s 6 pieces to make the cover. That’s a lot! The Model Y had one piece and I thought the Cybertruck battery in the Munro video was made from one piece as well, with no centre rib (I may not recall correctly, I need to check again). That centre rib has a lot of round cut-outs. You don’t need that many just to hold the battery. Would there be another use for it for after it leaves the factory?

Yikes! The hot gas vent is only at one end? A modest 'thermal event' (normal people say 'fire') involving only a few cells at the opposite end will pass hot gas down the entire row, just below all the other cells in that row. Add to that the surrounding foam may itself be a fuel. Don't get me wrong. Any battery fire will almost certainly spread eventually. The goal is to slow the propagation and minimize the thermal energy and gasses that can enter the cabin while providing time for occupants to exit or be rescued.

9:50 The 12 volt battery on an ice car ranges in charge between 11 volts and maybe 14. I assume this truck battery has a sort of regulator to keep the voltage going to power the truck consistent, so there is no variation. I wonder how much variation the battery pack has? Would it go to 50 or 52 volts when fully charged?

One thing that's bugging me you keep saying that the battery management module "understands". Allow me to clarify, it does not understand anything. The vehicle and the battery both have sensors that communicate with the module. The module has logic written into it in code. The module then takes that sensor input and applies it to the logic program , that determines the relays to activate or not. There is no "understanding" happening. It's not AI , it's not even machine learning.

The vehicle negotiates whether the charge plug is able to provide AC or DC with the EVSE before any voltage is allowed to pass through any EV plug. The vehicle does not measure the voltage source and then switch contactors. This is why the teardown/reverse engineering industry like Munro and Caresoft are not great communicators. I know people at both groups know these nuances, but it's embarrassing that they convey blunt misunderstandings.

The penthouse seen at the start of this video, what holds the battery management system, the edge of it is contoured to follow the shape of the contents instead of being four straight sides. Why bother contouring the edges? I would have thought it would be easier to make it with straight sides. Do the contoured edges make it more rigid or something?

It's the opposite. The contour is to have clearance for the wheels and suspension. The component inside is then designed to fit into the contour.

This seems like a battery architecture that is impossible to troubleshoot bad cells. While it is impressive that this has been made to work (well mostly work, the range is still under 300 miles and significantly under in cold weather and/or towing), I wonder if this solution could be called practical. I'm reminded of the Ford Nucleon (never actually built) nuclear powered car as well as the turbine car (which was built). I suspect both could be made to work but are these solutions a practical way to run a vehicle for someone who is on the hook to buy it and pay to maintain it? And if Tesla goes under, it would be nearly impossible to run or maintain. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I just don't think this is it.
