One thing I don't hear much about from the design criticism is repairability/replacement of parts. Tesla has great packaging but seems makes it almost impossible to fix single issues. The Ioniq and EV6 has design inefficiencies but looks like replacing a part is much simpler and easily accessible. Don't know if that was one of the focus of the internal design but just something like that should be mentioned more.

Regarding that pump, I understand the desire for integration for cost & weight reduction. But as a consumer, repairing/replacing that pump will be insanely easier where it is. Curious about your thoughts re balancing cost & manufacturability vs serviceability

[@Ficon]

Munro has a tremendously anti-repair philosophy in their preferred engineering approach. Adhesives > threaded fasteners (cannot easily remove and replace a part). Everything integrated into a single component (what's the cost to dig out an replace the Supermanifold vs a standalone pump that's easily accessible under the car).

Interesting how far Hyundai/Kia have come in a relatively short time

[@Paulydude2000]

Love that the coolant pump and temp sensor are in the open and easily servicable

[@vladdracul9813]

So the battery is covered by tinfoil and will be destroyed if you run over a tricycle or a muffler that falls off a vehicle in front of you or in cold climates a chunk of ice bricking your car. $50,000 U.S. to replace the battery, confirmed by Hyundai (kia is the same). Only know of two cases so far, but I'm definitely glad I saw the under-side of the car.

Great job guys love all you videos - Have you determined if the Kia uses a heat piiump to help condition the battery? Thanks

[@larstell]

all that contacts in the slush in winter, will it work in the long run...

Does osha inspect your facility?

Maybe it's just me but from all Munro Live hosts Kevin Harty is the most difficult one to understand when he explains things... : /

The EV6 features the world's first mass-produced Integrated Drive Axle (IDA). It connects the wheel bearing and the drive shaft into one unit, with which the engine power is transmitted to the wheel. By developing a particularly compact joint (86.7 mm) and an integrated wheel hub, the number of parts has been reduced and the weight reduced by 3 kg. In addition, the innovative concept prevents defects in the connections between the drive shaft and the wheel bearing. At the same time, the 42 percent increase in axle rigidity has a positive effect on driving behavior and handling.

What a relief! A great engineering analysis, with insightful details. No soft pillow, double stitching, carnival lighting interior, multiscreen video arcade of icons as in recent videos. The previous few videos total nearly 2 hours of this kind of fluff. Thanks for putting the ENGINEERING back into Munro Live! 😁

Great summary from two professionals. Appreciate the repairability issues.

This is why I'm a subscriber.

[@cliffordgrupke6558]

Nice job as always. Aluminum castings also have parting lines.

[@gregovolsung8769]

Thumbs up always to you guys, thanks for the intel!

[@pboston6RR]

Great job Corey. Your presentation skills have grown, meaning that the pace of your conversation makes every word understandable and you are explaining the acronyms often. Kevin is tslking in staccato bursts that makes it harder to build a picture of the system under discussion.

[@johntyson1958]

Kudos Cory… explaining acronyms 🙏

In person, the EV6 has some good style lines! Overall, it can get busy, particularly from that rear 3/4 view!
