If you hit the truck hard enough to damage the casting there would be enough energy created to damage a similar built up welded assembly beyond repair. In both cases the truck would be totaled. I did see that Tesla is selling the castings for the model Y now so that they can be replaced and they also had replacement elements of the castings like the crush areas. Pretty interesting. I think the point of the castings are to bring the cost of the cars down enough that they are affordable, which is a whole new paradigm in the auto market. Much like the model T. It’s initial cost was $700 and when they quit manufacturing them 11 million units later, it was like $275. I think that kind of reduction in the cost of automobile is Tesla’s end goal.

I'd love if he could somehow refocus his attention back to what got him here...pushing cutting edge tech! I'm all for freedom of speech, but its seems lately Elon is willing to potentially risk the company to prove a point. I just don't want to see Elon blow up his own mission because he thinks free speech will be lost forever. Social movements are often slow moving and tough to budge, but there's finally signs the hyper woke stuff is starting to self-correct. Disney, for example, is realizing massive financial losses as a direct result of their woke decisions, and the presidents of many Ivy League schools have pushed the woke agenda to the point they're actually loosing their jobs. I really believe we will continue to toward a more sensible, moderate middle.

For those who haven't realized this yet... "exoskeleton" just means "unibody"... like nearly every other car. "Unibody" means unitized structure and body, in contrast to separately constructed frame and body. The external stainless steel panels are part of the structure (because it is a unibody), but they are not the entire structure (as a true exoskeleton would be). Late in the video, the Tesla rep explains how the rear aluminum casting is the critical structural element of the rear of the vehicle... not the surrounding panels. It is becoming common to include more than one material (steel, aluminum...) and even more than one component production method (stamping, extrusion, casting) in the components which are joined to form the unibody. In the Cybertruck, there are stamped boron steel, cast aluminum, stamped stainless steel, and formed (bent) stainless steel. There are also aluminum extrusions and composite (fibre-reinforced polymer) parts attached to the unibody, but not an integral part of it.

He's been around the block a lot longer than most of those guys he was talking to in this video, than they have each been alive. His experience is even greater than their cumulative ages, combined. Sandy knows his stuff and probably has forgotten more than most younger engineers will ever know. There is no better than an old engineer, especially one that has actually worked at almost all major OEM's around the world. Don't get me wrong, the Tesla team is breaking molds when it comes to innovation, and I envy their hands on approach to getting their hands dirty and trying new things......and if it doesn't work, try again and again until it does work.

Would have been nice to have a discussion about those the stainless panels are hung. Are the edges folded over and drilled out for hanging? Are there stamped hangers beyond the door ring or is everything bolted to the castings? Clearly there has to be several cross car brackets for mounting the IP and the frunk, lights etc. Im asking because the "story" on cybertruck has been a reduction in stamping, but what we are actually seeing is the largest stamped door ring ever. So fewer individual stampings, but bigger ones to reduce the amount of overlapping and welding required, and reducing overall time in assembly. Its also interesting to note the contrast between the angular exterior and the curvaceous organic shapes on the stampings and castings. Reminds me of old school cast iron "asthetic era" machine tools with swooping curves.

Low impact accidents, which almost any vehicle will survive largely intact won't lead to Tesla being totaled. Will you need to replace the crash rails? Yeah probably cause they'll get bent or broken in some way, but that's not their intended purpose.

Unlike steel, aluminium don't have a fatigue limit (ie: it will continually deteriorate from _any_ small stress, while materials with a limit wont unless you pass a certain threshold), which means that a) they must incorporate higher stress tolerances to have a meaningful lifetime and b) will weaken over time. How do they incorporate this into the design, how large tolerances do they have, and what is the design life (and just to rehash, materials with a fatigue limit doesn't have a life limit based on stress)?

"...much like our castings we have to make the press." After a long pause Sandy asked who did you buy? At least Sandy wasn't takkng the Tesla B.S. train sitting down!

the version on the crash test the subframe was zn coated. But this one es black powder coated. Wonder the Zn coating was omitted.

my brain just went overheated just looking at those engineers explaining the casting.

so its a steel + aluminum body with stainless skin, right?
@zachlafond265210 ай бұрын
castings front and rear are aluminum? middle cab section is steel? and the body panels are ss?
@brianb-p65869 ай бұрын
@@zachlafond2652 yes, yes, and yes... if by "body panels" you mean the externally visible panels of the body, as well as some inner panels such as in the hood and doors.

I can’t wait to see when Tesla is able to make a complete sled front to back casting! That will be epic! Imagine the speed of manufacturing then !

3:58 i wonder if that casting is repairable if damaged in an accident?

Part of the main vid, there's no need to do a strip down, they basically show him everything that's new, amazing really..

Completely bonkers how Tesla operates. To them, once the project is out. They know their is no motivation on holding back information. While they don’t spew out models. I really think this is warfare by innovation.

Not Warfare. If that were the case they wouldn't have told everyone what "The plan" was (is)..... Several times. There's certainly trolling, but that's just trying to encourage the laggards.

Just shows how pitiful we've become when you call innovation warfare.

Struggling to find a reference as to how the steel panels are attached to the frame. A video 9f the robot handling them on launch day is inconclusive. This is pertinent to discussions regarding cost of accident repairs.
