This may have been released just 5 days ago but was probably recorded at least 5 weeks ago. It has aged extremely well. Love it when Sandy is guided by sane and practical questions as he can certainly descend into a rant quite easily as some of his podcasts in the last year demonstrate. So WELL DONE XTRAordinary. You guys rock.
I like the background on Sandy and also the breakdown of how he makes money on a car tear down, the Cybertruck in particular. It would be nice to learn more about new product development he’s been involved with, I know he has shared a few projects in the past (L1011,….)
There must really be some bad blood between Sandy and his former number 2 Cory. Not giving Cory any credit for his idea about TH-cam is kinda petty. Hope I’m wrong but Cory was The Man for quite a while. I digress but great interview otherwise.
Just found this interview and I had to subscribe to your channel. I watch Sandy Monro all the time but you guys make it fun 🎉 great sense of humour, peace
Xtraordanary - gm was fooling around with Electric cars back in 1880's . but they could not get the Range they wanted. gm , even partnered w/ Edisson and his DISPOSABLE car battery. it was Expensive & it used SILVER. there was also the gm IMPACT car , before the EV1 .
Given Sandy’s first hand experience and depth of expertise his comment “we never saw anything like that, and we see everything!” conveys a very deep sense of awe about the brilliance of the technology that they had uncovered in Tesla. Tesla focused on doing it right first time and when things could be improved they did so regardless of the sunk costs they had to swallow. Many EV companies arrive on the scene but are being met with a ‘meh, so what’ and will inevitably fail. Tesla will head down in price with their next models and will bring their technology with them.
BATTERY UPDATE: Sandy recently featured the SAKUU US-built "solid state" pouch-style form factor cel that has many safety and environmental features. LOOK IT UP
He bought TSLA when he saw the engineering model S but sold when he realised he might be accused of bias. Like if in 2009 and someone said the iPhone was amazing when it was. Not amazing now though. They've stopped innovation with the accountant in charge. Said a lot of nice stuff about Ford too. Ford shill or just Tesla? Is it about you or him?
You are a hater… that’s okay. I love people like you who hate and have not done their research and continue to hate. Because of people like you I was able to acquire 17,479 Tesla shares at $19.88 a share. I have never sold a share and loving my life.
Tesla, Inc.'s latest earnings show deteriorating fundamentals, with a 9% drop in revenue and a 55% decline in net profit margin. EV deliveries have decreased, operating expenses have increased, and the stock price remains high compared to competitors. Risks to a bearish thesis include potential innovations, market share growth in China, and strong global EV sales. But the stock is highly expensive, while the recent news is not encouraging.
It’s a shame that Tesla vehicles have such poor quality control, and poor service history. He would think an electric car could be simple and very reliable. I’m not sure where they went wrong.
@@erikiversen2039 It's not just the batteries. Tesla vehicles are VERY expensive to repair and service. They often have long wait times for getting parts. Service is a disaster. It's a shame because an electric car could be dead simple. Think of a fancy golf cart. Golf carts are easy to repair and service.
@@Jdiamondhandsyou could argue your point, but one thing they are well known for is rather poor quality assurance standards. They are good at a lot of things, but QA is not one of them.
Interrupting an Interviewee to interject/make a joke/try to sound knowledgeable makes you a terrible Interviewer. Stop it.
Agreed, this drives me nuts!
They both suck at interviewing lol
Employees at Legacy car makers just want to keep their job long enough to get their pension to retire.

Yes, I was really surprised that he did not mention him...

Awesome Podcast!
Xtraordanary - gm was fooling around with Electric cars back in 1880's .
but they could not get the Range they wanted.
gm , even partnered w/ Edisson and his DISPOSABLE car battery.
it was Expensive & it used SILVER.
there was also the gm IMPACT car , before the EV1 .
"When you beat up a professor..." HILARIOUS This is why I love Sandy...ONE OF A KIND
An amazing interview with Sandy. He wants to have an influencer meet up? That would be fantastic content!
Cant wait to hear details on the software reversed engineering. Is it possible my first thought.

"I'm not going anywhere" so awesome, great podcasts
this video is a bit late
Sandy is THE GOAT, he is in a class of one and I’m delighted that we get a glimpse into his world.
Exactly! 👍👍👍
Totally agree
what a great podcast, so much info
Can't get enough Deming stories
whys the 3rd guy there?
Hi from belle river
BATTERY UPDATE: Sandy recently featured the SAKUU US-built "solid state" pouch-style form factor cel that has many safety and environmental features. LOOK IT UP
WOW!
How old is this?
Months
Don't tell them how you make money Sandy... Are u crazy?
Easy to cut hours when you skip installing parts.
Damn, Sandy is cool.
when i heard he was working with aptera from early on i was like im in
Why does it cost so much to take them apart?
Here before Joe Rogan 😂
Cool guy 🎉😊❤
SANDY MUNRO OF TESLA SHILL LIVE...
No… great engineers are fans of great engineers.
Did you watch and learn nothing?
You missed out the Ford shilling or are you biased for some reason of your own?
Sandy should mention the sharp corners on the Cybertruck. Many injuries have been reported. There is a lot of innovation in the Cybertruck.
I know a reviewer cut himself.
What is "lots of" injuries?
@@andrewsaint6581I have cut myself twice on my BMW X5M and I have never cut myself once on my Cybertruck.
EVs are garbage, I'll keep my Hellcat thank you.
Sandy is a Tesla shill!
He bought TSLA when he saw the engineering model S but sold when he realised he might be accused of bias.
Like if in 2009 and someone said the iPhone was amazing when it was.
Not amazing now though.
They've stopped innovation with the accountant in charge.
Said a lot of nice stuff about Ford too.
Ford shill or just Tesla?
Is it about you or him?
You are a hater… that’s okay. I love people like you who hate and have not done their research and continue to hate. Because of people like you I was able to acquire 17,479 Tesla shares at $19.88 a share.
I have never sold a share and loving my life.
I don’t think he’s a shill, mans got experience , he’s promoting what he does not the way it works, but how well it works with other components
...and it wasn't sufficiently tested before production.
Name any vehicle which was sufficiently tested before production.
@@3dagedesignvery true, even Toyota is currently having trouble
@@herrbaConsiderably more trouble, however, I barely heard about it.

You don't know what you're talking about
@@Jdiamondhands Actually I do. Just check the resale values. That tells it all. No one wants a Tesla that's out of warranty.
@@MidAtlanticTVI’m sure it’s because the batteries are so expensive
