Model Y E15: Tailor Welded Blanks, Body Side Inner, Welding Comparison MY-M3, Parts Raffle!

Episode 15: Sandy walks us through what a tailor welded blank (TWB) is, why its useful, where it's used on the Model Y, and where it wasn't used on the Model 3. Additionally, we take a look at the construction of the body side inner (BSI) ring, as well as some additional comparison between the door flange welds on the Model 3 vs. the Model Y.

[@anthonystefanacci9890]

An engineer analyzing cars being torn down on a public platform will force automakers to make better products for us. Very different than your standard magazine/internet review that gives a subjective opinion on how a new car feels on the road. In reality though, most cars only have to impress reviewers and last as long as their power train and they might already be there. Love the content! Keep it up! I tipped my cashier!

[@seabream]

@@MunroLive Just a friendly note to let you know that I'm reasonably sure that you need to be careful how you do a raffle on Patreon. Most of the time they're against the TOS because Patreon, quite sensibly, doesn't want to have to deal with all of the legal overhead that would come from being deemed a gambling platform by a jurisdiction that either a winner or creator comes from because there are so many different rules for different places that trying to learn them all and then sort out how to conform to all of them is difficult to impossible. I believe that you can offer raffles while you have a Patreon account but you can't have it as a thing a Patron is entered into as a benefit of being a Patron. If you do go that route, you might want to exclude entries from jurisdictions whose gambling, raffle, lottery, and fundraising rules you may be unfamiliar with just so you don't end up with problems down the road. For example, IIRC, there are some jurisdictions in which you need to get a permit to offer a raffle ticket to people who're in that region, with penalties for breaking the law that can be more than trivial. I should note that I am not a lawyer, and this does not constitute legal advice, merely things that I've read reported.

[@markusstrobl1067]

@@MunroLive Please consider a $1 tier on Patreon. I want to support many creators with $1 each rather than a few with higher tiers. The $1 tier wouldn't need any perks, I'd do it just to show support.

[@seabream]

@@markusstrobl1067 You can actually just set a custom $1 pledge if you like. Assuming that you're on a computer, if you scroll down far enough that you're past the "About" section, a floating title bar appears at the top of the window with a "Become a Patron" button on the right side. Click this and then click "Make a custom pledge", which should be below the tiers, then set your pledge, minimum $1, then check out with your preferred payment option. I have a bunch of $1 pledges myself. It fits more with the rate at which I normally support authors - about the price of a softcover book a year, and they get much more of that than they do when I buy a book. Something that I would like to see from Patreon is memberships at different term lengths. For some things six months or a year would make more sense, and would reduce their processing costs.

What a great idea for a Netflix show! "TEARDOWNS!" maybe interviews of the PMs and Engineers that made a mistake and why they made it. Sandy maybe providing a different perspective on what the truth is and let the views decide what happened. What they learned. I could see a silly supply chain issue, or a public policy or why not add a little bit of conspiracy in the mix causing an engineering team to change up the design last minute before production and mess everything up and triumph eventually, or not! lots of drama, you know!? lol or maybe industrial mistakes that changed our lives in any way! how projects pivoted through out its life cycle!

Where they actually are far far better than anyone else is the BMS and the motors, and that was already evident on the 3.

@Munro As you correctly pointed out, most of us are fairly young (Tesla has a habit of attracting young folk). If i might offer a piece of advice: hire a social media manager (if you didn't already). Your company and persona have great media potential as the leading : 1) Tesla critic 2) Lens for average people to understand the engineering inside a (mostly Tesla) product 3) Narrator of the evolution, the Tesla engineering has undergone If you were to optimize these things, you might find yourself to be even more of a target for talented engineers job applications (which is something you care about as i understand, less about the fame) Also as another source of revenue of course.

[@zagabog]

Before 1988 we were dabbling with Synergic MIG welding, it had a tight control loop on the wire feed speed using the arc voltage to keep a consistent distance, and hence power, in the arc. It made hand welding quality much easier to achieve on aluminium. Then in the mid 80's for the stainless steel we had plasma welding which created the weld pool from a sacrificial lip on the work piece. This made the neatest weld I've seen. I guess the technology and the control systems available now will be leagues ahead of that.

The blackboard, the comparison to the Model 3, those are good ways to truly understand your explanations. I know that there is a ton of people suggesting ideas, and your videos are really cool and enjoyable as they are... but following this path you could probably get more people engaged in the disassembly. Monetizing your videos as of right now wont get so much money coming, but as the number of visualizations grows, you get more options to find some extra $. There is many youtuber living from the views that the tesla brand guarantees, and your content its quite unique!! PS: some fancy thumbnails also helps
