    Thanks everyone for the great response to this video! After we published we noticed a small calculation error on the fluid weight in kg. Rather then remove the video to repair the error, we chose to pin this comment to preserve the 1100+ plus comments of dialogue. Both the Model Y weight and Mach-E weight were equally penalized with higher totals, but the relative delta remained consistent. We will have Sandy clarify in a future Mach-E video. Thanks everyone! - Munro Live Team

      Do you folks also take into account the (I reckon, of course you do) weight of the fluids throughout the vehicle someplace? Please highlight that aspect in a video too some day, fluids seem to be one of the easier places to reduce weight. I know from the motorcycling world that the fluid weights are significant, many manufacturers there report the weight without the essential fluids!

      yes and no, cause an engineer in the big companies has to use parts of the shelves and is trained to use them instead of reinventing the wheel.
      Yes, it would be beneficial for each of them to check how Tesla had done it before starting to work on the next iteration of the id family which will also be used by Ford for small cars and next Mustang iteration.
      But where would Tesla be if Ford and VW would no longer make these mistakes again and again ?
      Tesla is unable to deal with corporate customers at least here and a company does not care about all the great tesla cars as long they can not deliver that to the customer where the employees then will have to work to get their tesla get fixed cause Tesla does not care nor has an infrastructure to do that. That is where Ford and VW outperform Tesla , same for leasing offers and other services, at least here in central europe, not Siberia.
      Might be time for you to pick up and call Mr. Diess from VW to talk about the future since he now has gotten his new contract he had to fight for the last 12 to 24 months.
      Might be worth to jump onto his feet now before the next ID family generation development starts ...

      All those future leak points down the road too. With Tesla you have 10 hoses so 20 hose connections that might leak at some point, with Ford you have 35 hoses or 70 possible leak points. Not including pumps and other components and its all stretched out over the engine bay instead of in one location.

      @bdgrandin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      In my experience as a tier 1 or 2 with the OEM'S YES line routing etc is not considered early enough in the process. Not just lines. The functional areas of the vehicles are sent to different design departments for design and integration. And some have more say or power in decision making. So if a cooling system eng says hey we need to change something to be better it may be considered too late, the more powerful team won’t change or maybe won't be allow to change due to launch issues. Why OEM's are so focused on meeting launch vs making a better product is a fault in the system.

That said, just because a company like Ford designed a less efficient cooling system doesn’t mean they are stupid. They may have just chosen not to spend the money in certain areas at this time. Could they have spent more money developing the cooling system and gotten a better result? Probably. Did they need to at this time?

      To your point about not enough heat in Tesla's since 2001, I can't speak for early Tesla's, just my 2018 Model 3 that has plenty of heat. But mine has the resistive heating element and not this new heat pump.
      To your final point about updates in general causing "more vehicles (Teslas) to have issues". That's a very general statement and perhaps difficult to rebut by design. I can only speak to my own experience with my 2018 Model 3.
      The software updates have generally been very positive for me. Introducing many new fun and useful features over the last couple years. Unlike cars of old, who's features never change, mine has gotten better and better over time. I love it. I'm happy to see companies like Ford finally embracing this new paradigm and follow Tesla's lead.

      @@hagestad Its almost guaranteed that hydrogen has no future in the passenger vehicle segment. Hydrogen is less efficient than batteries and always will be (energy changes forms more times). Hydrogen would have to build out brand new expensive infrastructure while BEVs takes advantage of the electricity infrastructure we already have/need. Hydrogen vehicles are dramatically less performant than BEVs. Hydrogen vehicles are potentially more convenient (if infrastructure is built out and batteries don't make gains in charging speed) for very long trips, but less convenient in every day use as you can easily charge at home or at offices with BEVs.
      I could see hydrogen playing a part in long term grid storage or large vehicle transportation like planes, boats, and semis (although some of these might also be doable with batteries), but there's really almost no benefit to pursuing hydrogen for passenger vehicles.

    • @connorglacken8734
      @connorglacken8734 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@hagestad True, hydrogen definitely has much higher energy density than batteries, but in the real world this alone doesn't yield much of a benefit. Hydrogen is more volume limited than weight limited and you need some pretty beefy hardware to shrink the size of the hydrogen tank down to a reasonable size for a passenger vehicle as well as the fuel cell itself to turn that hydrogen into electricity for the motor. That all adds weight. Add in the fact that batteries can actually do double duty by acting as a structural member and you can reduce the weight discrepancy even more.
      Once you get larger though the weight benefit for Hydrogen starts kicking in. A larger tank stores volume more efficiently than a smaller tank so you'd probably have a smaller weight penalty per kg of hydrogen on a semi truck than a small sedan. The difference would be even bigger for big planes and especially a shipping container.
      Regardless of all that, weight itself doesn't really matter. What matters depends on what you are trying to do. For a passenger vehicle the things you care about would be efficiency, performance, space, convenience, and cost of operation. Weight definitely impacts all of those things, but you can't just compare weight itself. All things being equal a heavier car would be worse in all those categories (except space, it doesn't really impact that), but all things are not equal. Since hydrogen has to go through more steps to get to the motor hydrogen vehicles are actually less efficient than BEVs. Since weight distribution is much better in a BEV than hydrogen (lower center of gravity) and batteries have much better power output BEVs perform much better than hydrogen vehicles. I would suspect that BEVs have more useable space than hydrogen due to the extra equipment and hydrogen having poor volumetric density, but there aren't many fuel cell vehicles to compare to so let's call this a draw. Hydrogen and Batteries trade blows in convenience since batteries can recharge at home, but hydrogen can refill faster for long trips, but batteries are making large improvements in this arena and hydrogen has basically no infrastructure built out and it would be a HUGE undertaking to do so. Hydrogen is and likely always will be more expensive than batteries since hydrogen has more energy conversion steps and therefore will always have lower efficiency to create and use.
      Went on a longer rant than I meant to, but I just don't see how the one advantage (road trips, and BEVs might catch up in this category anyway) makes up for all the disadvantages. Again, this is for passenger vehicles. This is a different story for larger vehicles and especially grid storage uses.

    Here are some Important material science differences between Tesla and Mach E coolant hoses left out from the Sandy Munro’s TH-cam video, as tweeted by Alex Lim:
    I'm developing material for those coolant hose and I have some hints to share:
    i) the rubber hoses in Mach-E are traditional rubber and can't be recycled easily because it's vulcanized with sulphur
    ii) rubber hoses are very heavy (0.2-0.4 lb/ft, depends on diameter)
    iii) rubber hoses requires high energy input to manufacture, less flexible for fitting into tight space, but material cost is low
    iv) Tesla uses nylon material for tubing, which is a thermoplastic that's recyclable and more energy efficient to produce
    v) nylon tubings are more flexible, very lightweight (0.06-0.08 lb/ft, depends on diameter), material cost is however 3-4 times more expensive than rubber
    Of all current BEVs, Tesla is the only one implemented 100% nylon tubing, most others uses rubber hose.
    Tesla nylon solution is multilayer type, inner layer can resist coolant well.
    With volume, nylon cost should go down.
    The rubber hose is made of synthetic rubber (like roof material), so it’s price less likely affected, but raw material price went up anyway.

    Mr Munro and team never have I seen such exceptional bench marking 13 minutes to communicate what true good lean design looks like, feels like and means in the real world to the potential broad audience now watching Munro Live. Well done guys, you know I think you stand half a chance of providing proof positive that its Tesla's engineering finesse that is going to win out every time and maybe Wall Street will get what we all get thanks to you guys.ITS THE ENGINEERING.......well live in hope!

    I think this makes the Mach-e look over complicated but i am unsure that its longetivity and performance are hindered by what looks complicated. The individual components are all well tried and tested and very inexpensive should they fail. My petrol mustang probably had 2000 engine parts and never had a single problem in the 4 years of ownership. All fairly straightforward fittings and components. Im happy to see how these two compare in ten years time.

    I remember when I was starting out in my career, the wise older workers would listen to my ideas, then explain the pros, cons, and reasons to use my idea or shoot it down. The not so wise ones would tell me not to tell them anything since they had been doing their job for 20 years, and I always wanted to respond with "And you still don't know what you are doing?".

      I disagree.
      You need 19 "one year engineers" (all top of their class) and one "20 year engineer" who WAS top of their class and listens to the others.
      I think I just unwittingly described Elon Musk in the "Munro design meeting" anecdote?

    FINALY! Sandy introduces give some credit to his associates! Much smoother, much more comprehensive much better tone to this video than most anything you’ve done before. It always bothered me that you never troubled to introduce and give credit to your associates.

    A case of "seeing is believing". Also, because it's a learning curve with these new electric vehicles, Ford
    should be severely admonished for not calling in outside consultants to assist especially since Tesla has
    a big head start. Or, the least they could have done was to buy a Tesla, dismantle and study it, I mean it's done all the time.

    That is why Mercedes doesn't let you open the hood of the EQS! From an Engineering standpoint your opinions are all perfectly valid, complexity leads to reliability issues, more weight, etc. You do have to realize that Tesla is on version 4.0 while the Mach E is a Beta :)
