And that's only hardware. So far, Sandy did not even bother to look into the software and remote services side of modern cars. With me being from Germany: this knowledge on (traditional) car design and manufacturing is way more common here, and the same I think holds true for example in the Detroit area, where many automakers and likewise Munro&Associates are located. There are just regions, where the knowledge on cars and all their traditional aspects is more wide-spread than in other regions. Former Manufacturing Belt, gradually turning into Rust belt. With Silicon valley taking over, whether you like it or not. There, body in white engineers are just some other kind of engineer, with software developers, chip designers, data scientists, electrical engineers and manufacturing automation engineers getting most of the focus, reward and attention. Who cares about the type of steel of certain body parts or joining methods, when you can market a car with 400 miles/640 km of EV range, a supercharger network and "full-self driving capabilities." :-) This kind of approach centers on promised or actual value for the customer, not necessarily immediate savings for the manufacturer.

@@tehcno007 The two books most widely used for first order principles would be Don Malen's Fundamentals of Automobile Body Structure Design or if you're looking for something cheaper, Jason Brown's Motor Vehicle Structures. Although, the latter doesn't cover crashworthiness topics. I studied aerospace, and these books are similar to Raymer's books for aero vehicles. To understand more of what's done at an OEM with a budget, I think presentations offer a good introduction. There's a small conference called Great Designs in Steel focused on body-in-white design (to promote steel use of course, so no aluminum bodies unfortunately). Usually, 2 to 3 OEMs present a new body each year and the presentations are uploaded on their site: greatdesignsinsteel.com/present/ Wrangler: www.steel.org/-/media/doc/smdisteel/gdis-2019/03-track-1-2---bagley.ashx RDX: www.steel.org/-/media/doc/smdisteel/gdis-2018/track-2---riggsby.ashx Silverado: www.steel.org/-/media/doc/smdisteel/gdis-2018/track-2---geeraerts-and-sulik.ashx For more material guides, this guy is a fireman who publishes these colored BIWs, so you can see where certain materials are typically chosen: www.boronextrication.com/tag/body-structure/

Who ISN'T watching Sandy and his team tear down the Model Y? It's a highlight in my day every day during this shelter at home period. My brother in Seattle is watching, I'm watching and as I socially distance myself from my neighbor taking a stroll past my home in Austin, Texas, he tells me he looks forward to watching these videos each and every day as well. Sandy is an engineering rockstar and I hope Munro & Assoc. sells T-shirts and hats so I can pick some up. In 2018, I was disappointed when watching Sandy's assessment of Tesla's bodywork on Model 3. I bought 2 of them and was greatly enjoying the rush of rocketship thrust and amazing handling dynamics in an American-made sedan that felt like a sports car. Later in the year, I watched Mr. Munro tell the guys on Autoline Detroit how advanced the 3's electronics and software were and that lined up with our ownership experience. The fact that Tesla was humble enough to take Sandy's suggestions to heart and employ big improvements into the Y construction and assembly speaks tons about Tesla and Munro & Associates. The cost savings and better build of current and future products from the company are big wins for everybody all around. It's the mind-blowing fun and the practical advances a fresh company like Tesla infuses into the automobile world that make us dorks (some call fanboys) so passionate about these exciting cars. I can't wait to own a Cybertruck and see what Sandy and his stellar group of guys and gals do next and what Tesla has up it's sleeves in the future!

Legacy is still buying a BEV Drivetrain from China or Korea. the BOLT is 70% LG chem. Chevy provides the ICE car body that's NOT Efficient. the TESLA model S,X, 3, and Y are BEV Specific bodies with a Super Low Drag . and Tesla makes the only 6 star Vehicles in the Entire World (5 star in all Category). the MAIN Point is LEGACY when Designing a NEW car the Engineers get in the way of each other and FIGHT over who gets the Resources. instead of working Togeather and sharing the Resources and making an INSANE Product. LEGACY does not do their own Engineering like TESLA does, Legacy only does CATALOG ENGINEERING , where they Litterally order from a Catalog of Parts from Vendors to build their cars. TESLA does MOST of their own Engineering. that's why a Model Y has 80% Less cabeling than a Chevy BOLT. and why the TESLA FSD computer is Superior to the Expensive NVIDIA GPU. most Recently DAIMLER had a Secret meeting with BMW & VW, and that it said NONE of them were capable or creating a FSD computer and FSD Software that can compete with TESLA. that Tesla was Decades ahead with what they could do Today.

Another very informative and entertaining session - great! Am also curious, after a few months of production, will the design be mostly frozen (or should I say cast in iron) because of the significant investment already made in setting up the automated assembly line - or are changes/ improvements still possible with minor adjustments? For example that section at 2:54 shows a pretty complex design, it probably is pretty well optimized already - but how do we know it can't be improved further ? Maybe for the Shanghai version and then the Berlin version ..
@bikeaddictbp4 жыл бұрын
It's not impossible for changes to be made at this point, but it's at a point where it's really expensive to make such changes. Obviously if they tool up to build a similar vehicle at a different plant, that's an opportunity to include lessons learned. You might see tolerance changes to address fitment, but engineering changes - even weld-position changes - can affect crash performance, and re-validating that gets expensive. The area you identified does look complicated but the main tough part is done ... figuring out how to build it in the first place. That area has to support and distribute suspension loads, and distribute frontal crash loads into the door ring and firewall and floor, and provide attachment points for all sorts of gadgets and gizmos under the hood (HVAC, brake lines, brake master cylinder for RHD, electrical and cooling system parts, etc), and not trap water in a way that leads to corrosion, and it has to be possible and practical to make the parts and weld them together. The area you identified tends to be pretty complex on just about any modern unibody vehicle.

I only have one complaint about this video... That's NOT an Air-Arc lol An Air Arc is a totally different, and even hotter, tool.. Basically its a hollow, copper coated, carbon electrode that goes into a special electrode holder which blows high pressure air through the hollow core. It basically looks like a large stick welder holder and electrode. It then connects to a LARGE arc welder power supply. You strike an arc just like with an stick welder, and it melts a weld pool just the same (though with hundreds of amps), and then the high pressure air blows the molten metal away. As you can imagine, it creates a BIG cloud of sparks! Quite fun to operate, very noisy, but beautiful curtains of molten steel everywhere. What they were using here was a plasma cutter, which is also an awesome tool, but much more delicate and precise. Like the difference between using a scalpel and a chainsaw to cut the turkey lol

Thanks! Very interesting, and now imagine that this whole body in white is casted in one part, you then can adjust the thickness of the material exactly how it is needed at the according area of the body in white. 3mm thick Aluminum casting equals approximately 1 mm of steel regarding weight. Furthermore you can cast struts where useful to strengthen the surfaces (as is done with the motor housings).
@nilsfrederking624 жыл бұрын
@Stephen Graham That is as generalization not true, as you can design parts with the same strength as for example formed sheet metal youth only may have different material thicknesses. And that is the interesting part, you can adjust the thickness very accurately to the load profile of the part. Furthermore you can cast in braces to give the part three dimensional strength. It depends very much of the use case whether a casting is better or bend sheet metal.
@nilsfrederking624 жыл бұрын
@Stephen Graham I think for the rigidity of the passenger cell a single casted part is advantageous, the only draw back is, that in a collision where the passenger cell is deformed the repair might be much more expensive, the manufacturing will be dramatically easier and thus cheaper with such an approach.
@nilsfrederking624 жыл бұрын
@Stephen Graham Yes, very difficult indeed, and the mold(s) are very expensive, but for mass market cars like Model Y and Model 3 it makes sense. I recommend having a look at Teslas "giant casting machine" patent. They are definitely working and for sure they calculated it. Such casting is not available today so they are developing it. The passenger cell is made out of 80 parts that have to be put together, that needs a lot of robots, space and time, I am quite sure that an injection molding in a fraction of a second is much cheaper, when producing high quantities.

The front inner fender and rail has a complex job of transferring front crash loads into the door ring (distributed between the windshield pillar and rocker panel areas) and has to itself be deformable in a predictable way in case of a hard frontal crash that goes beyond the capability of the removable "crash cans" to absorb. Castings tend to be brittle and simply crack or explode into a thousand pieces, as opposed to bending and absorbing energy while doing so the way stamped and formed sheet metal does. Perhaps it "could" be done that way, but sometimes it's better to use a solution that you know works.
