      That Sandy has recognized the kinds of talent his organization needs to do a good job and has found people with those talents says as much about his analytic and design skills as the tech details he presents. Since he keeps calling himself "old", I wonder who he's developing to replace him.

      It is why smart design teams always have new engineers who question everything being constantly introduced. In a very large company, one way to create high value employees is to copy what doctors have done, rotate new people through departments s they can not only see the whole product picture, but experience different ways of thinking. My most valuable insight as a systems engineer came from a book on organizational management.

      @@psdaengr911 When I was managing a group, I set a cap of two years on someone handling a set of responsibilities. In my industry, two years is enough to see probably 99% of the situations you will run into, (I have 4 decades in) and see how seasonality impacts each desk. I dictated the moves, because I found that it actually helped if I said, "This move is my call, it is training for you, anything goes wrong it's on me, so don't sweat it", and found that folks would actually endeavor to find and fix their own mistakes early, even though I made it clear I would take the hit. Five years after I left the company, they closed that operation, and my staff-members were able to show more rounded-out skills on their resumes. If they did not retire, they went to work for competitors or clients.

      It is likely that the heavier cable connector was chosen on the front motor high voltage cable because it is in the crush zone. The upper connector could be crushed against the firewall, especially if centerpunching a pole. The front battery connector is more exposed to being hit by road debris or bits that come lose in a high energy crash.
      For an example of the second case see the latest video on the Rich Rebuilds channel.

    I just drove back home on Hwy 5 from Orange County to S.F. Bay Area and counted 50 car carriers headed Southbound. Each one had 9 or 10 Tesla’s on it. I drove by the dealership near home and there were more than 100 cars in the lot. None were available to look at because they were already sold and waiting for the owners to come in and pick them up that day. They had just received their first Model S Plaid and it was also being picked up. They said Tesla had sold out every car they had last quarter.

That's why I like these videos, you get the straight dope. And I don't just mean everything is positive about Tesla, they aren't super heroes - but they deserve some way better press than they get.

      Now Tesla needs to get to a point where they're actually making money on every car they sell. Not just some of the models at some of specs. All of them. When they're still losing $900+ per car sold (as of July '21) they need to do hijinks like credits trading and dogecoin dabbling to turn revenue. They NEED to sell their cars for revenue so that they can continue to exist and we all benefit. The long game here.

      I enjoy watching analysis through deconstruction because it's so simple and straightforward compared to designing from "scratch", and in many ways easier compared to figuring out how to transition to a new system to produce a new design. Automotive engineers have don't need to replace drive trains of vehicles as they drive down the road, and many have no experience in manufacturing or management. Sandy isn't an automotive engineer, he's closer to a classically trained general engineer.

And most jet engines you've seen in any helicopter were designed back in 60's or 70's.. lets not pretend they couldn't do with a bit of innovation too. Maintenance is less of a concern when you engineer the shit to not need constant maintenance in the first place.

    It really stands out when you can see two engineers designed the same thing separately. With HV cables being the most expensive wiring I guess you want them as short as possible.

    I think exposing the lack of communication within legacy automakers exposes in part why they will likely fail to make the the transition to electric. Its just one glaring exemple amongst many to point out. I believe legacy auto will have to go out of business and from the ashes the "better engineers" will reroup to create EV's from the ground up. No dealership networks, no crippling dept, no pension plans to pay, no motor and transmission plants to mothball, no expensive upper management to pay for that doesn't do much for sales...

      I used to think that but listening to programs like this and other engineering channels I've realised that the shear mass of the old legacy automotive companies is both their hindrance to change but what will also keep them around.
      They're to big to lose but at the same time they have to stay relevant to make money... so they'll change... just very... very... slowly.
      The Mach-E to me seems almost like an forced design to prove they're still in the game, the fact it is despite its fault a good car is evidence Ford is going to stick around.
      The F-150 Lightning is I feel their first real blank piece of paper ground up electric vehicle and Munro's Team breakdown of that vehicle is going to be the real test of Ford's EV credentials.

      @@helenlawson8426 Dear Helen, I wish I shared your optimism regarding large legacy auto but your example of the F-150 Lightening is a good one but ultimately the inefficiency of its battery pack, limited battery supply and weak charging infrastructure and no proper over the air update capabilities and no full self-driving will make this difficult. Raw material for batteries and cell production will either kill legacy auto or reduce sales by a lot. Even if they signed a deal with Tesla and licenced all the technologies including the FSD, Over the air updates, software stack/Tesla OS they would still be looking for enough batteries meet the demand.

    There was never meant to be any commonality with VW's MEB platform for the Mach-E, that partnership is for a future Ford product that they will manufacture in Europe that sits on the MEB platform. Why they couldn't use the Mach-E's platform they had already designed is another question, I can only guess it's more expensive to manufacture?

      The Mach-E is on the large side for Euro buyers. 70% of units there are city cars, superminis, and compacts (segments A-C). Mach-E seems to be small D segment.
      For the European market Ford needs a segment-B electric vehicle, to replace its Fiesta/Ka+/B-Max models. It makes sense to share a platform with the electric successor to the VW Polo/Audi A/SEAT Ibiza/Škoda Fabia.
      That still leaves Ford on its own to create a segment C electric successor to the Ford Focus, which would directly compete with VW's ID.3.

    Zack, always appreciate your videos. This one was more difficult to follow for me because of the angles (can't see what they're talking about or even pointing at most of the time), lack of close ups, lack of explanatory imaging and giving context. Cory holding those two pieces in his hand gave no context for me of how they work differently than the one being pointed to (which I also couldn't see). It was difficult when they were kneeling too. The close up was extremely helpful but the shot of backs is very disconnecting and I wasn't getting any visual cues or information from it. I feel like we might be better served with just a close up still while they're explaining. Just some suggestions from a fan. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next videos. Thank you.

      I see your point , but too much scripting and staging might hurt the production. These guys are at their best when they can speak, and move about, freely.
      I don't mind the style, and this makes it easier for them to just turn on the camera and go - which means we get more of this, more often.
      Maybe a compromise is to let them do their thing, but have at least two cameras, and maybe three. It shouldn't take much longer in the edit to accommodate the extra camera angles.
