Love listening to Sandy, he is that very, very rare individual who has literally decades of experience in engineering and the motor industry yet he is not in the least bit set in his ways. He is open to new, and better innovative ideas and technology. I actually don’t have the words in my vocabulary to be able to express my respect for this man.
Sandy found a way to do the things most engineers would love to see. Most people get beaten down by the system. I was one of those. I changed career. Not a good idea. Sandy found a way through that wall of “you can’t do it like that”.
In case anyone thinks Sandy is too enthusiastic: What you hear is the release of his many hears of pent-up frustration at OEM's and their reluctance to change. They've structured their companies over the decades to be less and less capable of change, let alone radical and rapid change. After decades of this the Tesla way of doing things is music to his ears - and eyes.
@@FrederickKoehlmann Yup. That's another Sandy rant. An accurate rant made by him and others. Of course the poster boy for this is the tragic decline of Boeing but it applies to OEMs and too many other other industries.
And how Daimler Benz been building vehicles for about 110 years, of the highest quality, and numerous industry changing innovations. Stop with the platitudes, who comes out of Ford, which has the highest recall for defects in the world. If Sandi had a resume like used to work at VW, or Benz, Audi, BMW, Porsche, even TOYota, he would have some credible resume. Mr. more plastic snaps, make it cheaper, not better. That's called route to failures. Benz also has a legal level 3 Tesla doesn't. Even that is useless and a gimmick, even by Benz standards, useless. But Benz is way ahead of Teste in automation. Benz is also the biggest truck maker in the world. Teste made 140 trucks, ? ooops
75 is still young. Mr. Sandy is great leader and manages his teams very well. I get to learn about design considerations in each release. It’s been decades since I’ve needed to think about material science, EE, and chip design, and it’s good brain exercise!
Sandy, you're amazing and incredibly inspirational ... traditional OEM's wakeup!!! Thank God we have a Sandy Munro preaching the 'new gospel'. SoCalFreddy
Love your quote: those that say no are promoted. Something I see in many places. Few people have the guts to say yes, we can make it work, and start thinking outside the box and take the risks. There is always a management side in this: if the suits think is it a misfeature to fail, you are working at a place where "no" is the right answer. But if the suits want to go push the envelope, that is where you are "free" to say "yes". Boils down to corporate culture, and runnig the company under fear of change, or dare to change.
Think about it ! Someone who was “nuts deep” in V6 and V8 petrol (gas for you “mercans”) engines .. became a fan of BEV’s . What a pity others don’t have the same intellect.
Any serious engineer is admiring efficient simplification such as only Tesla can today with its vertical integration. The others just put Lego together! But also a car that makes in Europe a 100 km/60 miles on 2 litres equivalent and has the power and range of M3 and MY you fulfilled a wish Elon was very modest. This is what liars and diesel cheating cartel of the 5 in Germany promised 40 years ago and brought a lousy poor men’s Lupo Diesel consuming however 3,5 Litres with loud noise. With a lot of energy you can move many things but with a tenth of petrol or diesel driven cars of similar performance the electric makes about the same distance even and consumes less energy what can save the planet and not only CO2 is what is important but become FREE from fossile fuels and independent from dangerous sources working against our interests, e.g. as state trust shareholders in ICE automotive not interested in EV - see from were all the fake news and analysts remarks are coming working against Tesla and also the SYNERGY person that is only Elon Musk. Nobody should bet against him for hidden agenda and greedy reason!
Love the video. Glad I got to talk to you at the show. Will reiterate that battery vents for EVs have had spark arrestors for at least the last 10 years.
More outstanding work! I’m very thankful for a credible source, comprehensive, low bias information combined with an effective, efficient communication style. Keep it up!
Over the years, an SVO muskrat and a Taurus SHO with the 3 liter Yamaha. Mine was a 5 speed and the first year Ford had a proper clutch in the car. Grabby beast! Now driving a Model Y with sales credit to Sandy, Cory, and the gang at Munro.
I loved watching Sandy go through the model Y a few years ago. He called it like it was. He gave credit where credit was due, but he also call them out on some questionable manufacturing techniques. But it’s fun to see Sandy over the years appreciate Teslas advancements. I’ve loved seeing his reaction to the cyber truck. I only hope that at his age I could be that excited for new technology.
Fantastic! Awesome energy Sandy and super examples! Between Sandy and Jay Leno I have enough great EV content to share with people that just don’t seem to get it. I feel like some of the people I know need to hear a dad or grandpa figure say it. Plus Sandy has been in the industry for so many decades (at the Big Three those folks are so dedicated to) I can tell those people, he really knows his stuff and he’s passionate. Keep it up! 😁⚡️🏎️
Thanks Sandy for sharing your 50 years of engineering and showing SAE how the USA needs to change its methodology of producing cars and trucks. At Numerous points of your fast paced speech you pointed out numerous details how you analyzed and shared better and less expensive methodology of engineering cars and trucks.
"Design it for what it needs to be not for what somebody else things would be a good idea." Oh how I wish all of the software engineers were paying attention.
@@-LightningRod- he comes from Ford, what a resume'...more recalls than any car maker in the world, endless defects. i guess Sandi's ideas , like more plastic clips, everything he talks about is make it cheaper, not better. he's a tool. His shilling for tesla is vomit worthy. he praise the cyber trash, all recalled cus a dangerous accelerator defect. the stuff is junk. All he does is shill his tesla stock, and that might be very shadey
@@-LightningRod- Wanna bet he never went to a Porsche factory or Audi and see how highest quality factories run, he thinks the Tesla junk is high quality, what a tool. cough cough, ummmm, aaaaahhhh, ummmm
Sandy is correct about corporate culture. It is basically conservative to the point of 'don't rock the boat', and looking only at short term costs. The lawyers and accountants in charge are the problem. An engineering company should be run by engineers. Look whats happening to Boeing as the saddest example of this.
Honestly,...i am just in awe of Mr Sandy Munro's speech,... i can see in hyim the uter kick ass that everyone else pretends to be,..... Shine on friend spread yer little wings as far as you can
@@markplott4820 We WERE talking about the replacement of 12V control systems, not traction. Keep up! Rail traction varies from 600/1500VDC to mains 25kV AC, with a battery DC line of 600-950V on prototypes, as this matches existing traction systems.
Hey Munro team, as I am someone that was raised with the metric system, and as been train with imperial, I am convinced that there is an error on your slide 16, 80g to 28g, it does not make sense: the gain is not noticeable when we are talking about 1.76 onces reduction. Are you sure of those data/units?
I love Sandy's enthusiasm. Its definitely much more refreshing vs the "popular media (social and commercial)" attitudes that have to bash everything Elon/Tesla. Its just irrational hate an irritates the hell out of me.
I drive a model Y and I enjoy the car even with a few shortcomings. The technology and performance is outstanding, however I feel the Cyber Truck is an embarrassment to the brand and I would never have any desire to own one.
I would agree but Sandy thinks differently about the Cyber Truck. I also would not own one, the main thing is the look, to me it looks like something a 6 year old would draw with crayons. But, I also know that it is full of new technology which will help us all to move to something better in the future.
THe other major savings of wire is reportedly the token ring (not really ethernet) network efficiently carrying control and sensor information around the car.
Sandy Munro is amazing! He ripped the original Model 3 and Tesla listened to every single complaint. My son just bought a new Model 3 rear motor base model and loves it.
Sandy is a living legend. He is also brutally honest (like his last statement of this video!). God bless the guy and I wish him good health and long life. He is a role model for every engineer (especially American, who have gone soft thanks to all the Harvard management BS).
the Whole motor is Bathed in Chilled OIL. BTW - motors are ZERO maintenance, one oil change every 25+ YEARS. each motor has DUAL oil Filters . Replace every 10+ years.
I spent most of my career in the. auto biz, most of that at Ford in Vehicle Engineering. It is REALLY HARD to make changes, to get people to try new things... and over time, I saw more and more restrictions regarding "what is possible". And less engineering.... but more and more emphasis on "processes" (how we have to do things) and more and more stupid studies to placate idle management ideas. Jeez! I was so happy to retire early!
The biggest problem is engineers still don't control engineering companies. The enthusiasm from a talk by sandy is quashed when people go back to work and the MBAs say no to every improvement. America has a problem with CEOs and board members owning way too much stock that is simply handed to them for free for being an employee. These people get so much stock, they act like small ownership groups working for themselves, not for the company or shareholders. We must ban stock ownership by board members and executives. Stock ownership by execs and board members is exactly what ruined boeing. The board member Calhoun immediately started cutting again in 2020 when he made himself ceo and boeing got even less safe. He openly violated the agreements the company agreed to in order to avoid jail time for execs for the MAX. Naturally, execs are still funneling money and cutting corners because they keep getting richer and no one gets any jail time. Most MBA led companies operate like FTX.
I think from an engineering point of view electric drivetrains are proven to be so superior. Like a diesel electric train. Just have to catch up with the battery tech.
Sandy is 75! Admirable for maintaining such high activity and productivity!
Agreed👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
👏👏👏 better than many in their 20s or 30s
My grandfather is 80 this year and this man gets up early and goes to work. I barely can get up from couch to the fridge

Breathed in to many gas or diesel fumes most likely? Or they like noisy smelly machine's which vibrate their butts(cough in the closet still) 😀
MUNRO pivoted from ICE engines to BEV analysis in 2020 .
it sold ALL their ICE assets in 2023, and Scrapped the Rest.

As a retired Rail Vehicle Engineer, 48V and 110V DC are preferred as they are way more reliable, 12V contactors are just poor if contaminated.
Trains should go 800v - 1000v Architecture , 100% BEV.
lower COST to Maintain, 90% simpler than ICE.
