Wow, can't wait to see this epic teardown.

[@roddlez]

Interview with Munro & Associates coming soon?? :)

[@aro-rat]

A few weeks of engineering fun

[@samkamala]

Much as this teardown is exciting but I'm afraid the competition will have access to this alien technology.

[@grmunson7503]

I would never have thought I’d get excited about a car “tear down.” Excellent, informative and interesting content which only leaves me looking forward to the next installment even more!

[@mdhofstee]

@@samkamala They may access but the real question is 'Do they care?' and the answer is nope.

[@mikewurlitzer5217]

As a retired EE who also loved mechanical things, I lament that my time in engineering was not spent with the likes of Elon or Sandy. You cannot imagine how many times I heard during my career, "well that has never been done" or our competition is not doing that. For every idea there were always 20 people ready to shoot it down.

[@Byronseto]

That's sad to hear :(.

[@tprincipato]

So true, and so wide spread. It’s fear of failure and if you don’t try you don’t fail. But look what happens when you power past that bs

[@fjalics]

I think the real genius of Elon is his appreciation for engineering, and his ability to create an environment conducive to it. I think a big key to that is his stated belief that in the long term, the company that can improve faster will always win. This means he created a system for managing frequent changes. Now I'm sure that comes with it's issues, but if you do something really cool, it might end up on the CEOs desk who understands how it works, why it's cool, and if you can make it even better, it might change again in a couple of months. Also, I think he brings his different engineers together, so like Sandy said, that bar might have several groups working together on it.

[@turrafirmaguitarchannel]

Sounds like where I work.

[@delpholo]

Maybe you can still join Sandy as he's looking for engineers to hire

Another awesome episode from the Munro Team.. FYI EVERYONE - watch to the end for a special musical treat! (hats off to who ever coded that entire sequence - just magic:)

[@phillipzx3754]

I have a Behringer X18 attached to my PC. I use it as my "audio controller" for anything "audio out" related from my computer up to 8 channels. When thet track started playing, the RTA on the X18 went ballistic from about 125 htz and down. To say it had some "big bottom" would be an understatement. :-)

[@willinwoods]

Yeah, the Now You Know team had a pretty awful time playing around with that software, so I don't envy the poor person (intern?) that had to put it together...

Tesla body shop employee. Those gaskets are always an issue to install! Once installed correctly would probably eliminate the noise. Has a very tight/tricky channel to press into.

I had the same rubber door seal issue on my Plaid - it was on the driver's door. Tesla service fixed it quickly - it was not seated correctly. No problems since.

Is that road dirt under the covers? Do you have to pull off the covers to properly clean it? If so I don't know if I like that 🤔

[@WIP532]

I found that shocking but they didn't seem to care

[@MikesTropicalTech]

Yes that got to me too. Wonder why the design would have a big hole that let road dirt up under the shrouding.

[@ipcress20]

Also surprised at that--after only a few thousand miles. Take another look in a year or two. Dirt is a precursor to all kinds of corrosion--holds moisture against the metals. Those holes also allow easy access for insulation nibbling critters--a real problem in some areas. Destroyed a Honda hybrid of ours.

[@PeterGutzwiller]

@Munro Live would love to hear your thoughts on this?

[@mikehamm5217]

All that dirt makes me wonder WTF were they thinking

[@Mari0o0o]

They reused the Model Y heat pump parts which is why the orange mold piece is facing up but in this case the tubing doesn’t go all the way up. A great cost saving measure for a lower volume vehicle (better than producing a new part number either for a longer tube or for a different molding to hold it)

[@darekmistrz4364]

That confused me a lot when seeing this heat pump on Rich Rebuilts teardown of Plaid. At the moment I didn't know it was Model Y heat pump repurposed. I thought it was bad engineering insight at the time that caused last minute change that affected mold to be in wrong direction

[@grahammonk8013]

When I worked with Honda motorcycles, we found that there would be dozens of different speedo cables, (as one example) and the difference would almost always be simply length. Great from the Honda POV, because it increased sales of parts if as a dealer you wanted to keep a good supply of parts. We started a list of those lengths, and tried to cover as many models as possible with the fewest number of different cables. Completely different thinking here.

[@majorchungus]

19:48 Ford F series is an all aluminum body and they are high volume and seem to have it figured out. Tesla just needs to get their crap together.

I own a model X,Model 3, and a Panamera 4S. I have driven sports cars my whole life. I prefer the ride, handling and power delivery of Tesla. The Porsche it seems you must wait before it’s starts to accelerate. The suspension comfort seems old school. I have owned many Porsches, a Lamborghini, Maserati, and Aston Martin. I am an EV man now. Nice to fill up at home with my solar panels. Save around $400/month on gas and home electricity. No petrochemical odors. Only maintenance are tires. No oil filters in land fills. Gas cars are HIGH Maintenance

[@Hoss4Blues]

Looks to me that if you drive dirt roads you’ll eventually fill the area below the frunk compartment with dirt. Something needs tweaking to seal road dirt from getting in.

[@maxou5757]

Apparently, it is likely to take forever to get that seal fixed by Tesla. In addition, reports about service quality are not good.

[@LightSpirit24]

Why was there lots of dried mud splash and other dirt up in the top of the fender area? I think that shouldn't have been allowed to get up into that area. Over time, it can accumulate. Also over the years it could cause corrosion. To me that seems to be a design error.

[@raven----]

Great information for $TSLA stock investors. I am sure Ford, GM and the others are viewing this and I wonder what there thoughts will be at the end of the tear down. Will they have an oh @#$% moment or feel good about their product in comparison???

[@GrandmasterFU666]

I'm sure they are laughing right now, Sandy and team has noticed a few problems but are not saying anything about other issues. So far quick look at rear interior and under the front hood 1) bad seal air noise 2) searbelt 3 rear seats 4) spacer in body panel 5) dirt under the hood I thought Sandy said its perfect?

[@hedydd2]

You can get the emergency autonomous brake system on virtually every new car sold in Europe today. To get five stars in the latest Euro N-Cap crash test, it is virtually compulsory and I do believe that it is to become a legal necessity from this year, just as ABS, airbags, safety belts and tyre pressure monitoring is required to be legal.

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

It's only a legal requirement in heavy trucks so far.

[@Ample17]

Sorry but things like that seal on a 140.000$ car are just absolutely unacceptable. Tesla still has ways to go to reach the build quality of other Premium brands.

[@viseerrdentsawl8494]

I am surprised at the amount of dirt/water runoff that went up out of the wheel wells into the front trunk area. At 14:10. Is this common? I would think that in a salty environment this would make this area a rust collector nicely hidden in the front infrastructure. The only comment was Sandy saying “Corey didn’t clean this car.”

[@steamtorch]

Definitely caught my eye. Realistically, I would put a car like this into storage and drive a beater in the winter.

[@davidradtke160]

It’s mostly aluminum so rust should be less of a concern, but there is still corrosion issues.

[@eemilvanced6592]

Yes maybe, but in normal ice vehicle the whole front is open, and at least where I live the motor bay is full of dirt every winter

[@treborheminway3814]

A coarse foam plug would be nice just to keep dirt out of compartment.

[@arsni23]

Munro is obv. biased with tesla.

[@thomaslemay8817]

Open wheel well in heavy water flow areas ! Someone really dropped the ball. If you take it on a dirty road ( any road that gets crossed by construction or farm equipment) or worse yet a dirt road. the area under the trim panels will get filled up with mud or whatever else is on the road. It looks like they are using the front tire to push air up into equipment bay around the frunk . The weather seals problems are not unique to this particular Plad, I have seen similar problems pointed out on other Teslas . Very disappointing! This type problem should not be happening even on a $5000 cab for a farm implement much less ant car .

[@iskrenpetkov4329]

All Teslas have air ports out of front wheel wells to relief high air pressure created during high speeds and improve air turbulence and drag. My Model3 has same that you can see through from wheel well to the windshield

[@thomaslemay8817]

@@iskrenpetkov4329 nothing wrong with the idea of venting the air out of the wheel well . They simply don't do it properly, air will flow through ducts that will expel all the water ,mud and even dust . If you can see the tire through the air handling passes it is bad design.

Wow, mechanical integration is light year ahead of first Model S. Never seen such neat and tought out layout and routing.

[@davidmorse6290]

All fuses and switches right there in-front of the engineer, as soon as the frunk is (easily) removed. Super-easy to get at and fix/repair/replace if needed.

All that money. Air tank integration with a structural member. But they can't figure out a good inner fender liner to keep road grime and salt spray from coating the sheet metal under the frunk surround panels. How long until that creates a corrosion issue and starts rotting the car away?

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

It's plastic.

[@aleksisoukkala]

@@TheEvilmooseofdoom yes covers are plastic but structure under those covers is metal.

[@frostyone1967]

Corie has got a lot more confident on camera, nice to see.

[@calholli]

He's ready to take that torch once Sandy steps away.. You can tell that Cory is gonna be doing this for years to come.

[@tN0able]

Exciting! Maybe you can find out what happened to the promised ambient lighting in the cabin and the movable center screen that Tesla was promising on their website for the Plaid?

[@spuddy4063]

Well that says it all in one fell swoop, Sandy is impressed. To tell the truth so am I... Since this exceeds any expectations of a qualified engineering firm specializing in disassembling products for a living. What can we really imagine will follow? After the ride and drive video's we all got a sense of the expertise of this crew. Congratulations on at least taking the bull by the horns and getting out there to give the DEVIL his due and prove to everyone what a star this car really is and how AMERICAN technology still shines brightly to the rest of the world. The Chinese may be coming, but the AMERICAN's did go to China first to show them how to do it. That still counts for something. I for one am thoroughly amazed and impressed that Sandy and Cory got to drive this car for a while to get a true feel for it. Still a shame that it must be destroyed to prove something we all know in advance, Great People do GREAT DEEDS. Congratulations to the Munro TEAM for pursuing their vision yet again.

Tesla is out selling China, in China. When China comes over here, lower prices will sell well, but Tesla will still sell every car they can produce through 2030. After that Tesla will never sell another consumer car.

The tear down is for the greater good.

[@dougavery345]

Is that an eGo chain saw on the bench? Will you be doing an evaluation of the eGo architecture?

[@paulhortonatcoxnet]

Brilliant light show!

[@danuschanus]

Hey sandy, If the cyber truck's exoskeleton is essentially folded pieces of stainless steel like origami, it would be cool if could you make a video step by step as to how you would make it from a flat piece of stainless steel to the finished exoskeleton product.

[@necbranduc]

I never clicked on a video faster

[@markbrowning9363]

Our oceans are full of waste plastic, what are companies like Sabic who produce plastics doing to clean up plastic waste/dumping?

[@kstaxman2]

I'm so excited to see this tear down get started. Lots of great stuff to see right from the start.

[@marble25]

I've seen nothing in this video. hopefully next episodes will be more interesting
