Hearted Youtube comments on Munro Live (@MunroLive) channel.

  1. One of the few interviews I have seen with Elon where the interviewer had any notion of what they were talking about. Great job!

  2. This is a rare Elon interview for one reason: it's from someone who deeply understands vehicles -- no nonsense, no fluff, just an interesting discussion between two engineers.

  3. OMGMOMOMGOMOGMG! YES!

  4. One crazy thing about the Internet; people with high intelligence and experience watching these two people talk will possibly make a connection they’ve never made before and now have an idea to design and build something no one ever thought of. This is the power of Worldwide conversations, And how the pace of innovation keeps accelerating. Great interview, best I have watched in months.

  6. I am a logistician/supply chain manager and I purchased one of Munro's sample reports just to learn the engineer's point of view of what matters in a supply chain and the impact on a product. It was extremely eye-opening to me. Those reports have value well-beyond an individual model, product, etc. They are a window into design, manufacturing, procurement, and supply chain management processes that make an organization or product successful.

  12. 40 years engineering in big auto ICE, 20 years following EV development. Never thought Id see the day EVs would be allowed to reach their full potential let alone get a deep dive into the engineering. Thanks to Tesla for leading the vanguard and to Munro for letting us in on the detail. Done with skill full genuine enthusiasm transmitted on this brilliant channel, just the best 30 minutes.

  14. Thanks for coming along for the ride and showing me around the shop. It was a great time!
    894
  15. Ok, Mike Lane is now a favorite of mine! Easy to understand, well spoken, broke it down for us and even showed us charts/graphics. More of this please!!
    884
  16. The killer was "and this is the second best we've seen!"
    876
  17. Engineering nerds unite!

  18. IDRA's spokesperson in this video is top notch. I appreciate how he's able to engage both Sandy and the audience seamlessly. You can tell he's quite comfortable and experienced with both human interaction and being on camera.
    795
  19. This is how you find out just how much people really want to see a plaid tear down 🤣
    793
  20. I’m not an engineer or a mechanic but Munroe and associates have made the most geeky details about car design and manufacture fascinating to me anyway
    779
  21. In the next episode, Sandy tears down his flashlight and eviscerates the manufacturer for all of their poor design choices.
    770
  22. That's how you conduct an interview, would love to dive even deeper into the engineering dialogue tho. Thank you, Sandy.
    769
  23. It's a shame I can't like this video twice:)
    760
  24. Wow, can't wait to see this epic teardown.
    753
  25. Carl has a great Talent in explaining and presenting in Front of a camera. Almost sounded scripted. Very eloquent. Great addition to the team. He clearly knows his stuff.
    739
  26. Kudos to Kia for braving Sandy’s opinion.
    725
  27. Sandy, Cory, and the entire Munro team are national treasures. Protect them at all costs.
    716
  28. Fantastic presentation.
    709
  29. So worth it, let's make it happen!
    705
  30. This is absolutely brilliant - in many ways almost as good as being there yourself because you get Sandy's commentary so you can appreciate whats in front of you. So glad Monro live scored the invite.
    701
  31. Who is just happy to see a new video from Sandy? That’s an awesome edit at the beginning
    691
  32. This is the purpose of YouTube. Sandy and staff are truly gems sharing their knowledge and wisdom, and I’m here for it!

  33. The best endorsement from John is the 3 words : "I want it". I remember watching Autoline every week on PBS back in the 90's. So glad to see him having fun with the latest and greatest tech around. For someone who had driven a crazy amount of cars over the years, I can only imagine how it would felt to be in a plaid.

  34. Now with a new leadership, Nikola can drive uphill, instead of downhill.

  35. Thanks Sandy for this motor teardown. I can comment on the winding technology wound vs hairpin. I work with engineers to help them simulate and design these different types of windings and they both come with pros and cons. Wound windings are well known and more flexible in their design, you can make them fill a slot of any shape with a rather good fill factor. The insulation between each separate wire makes that fill factor impossible to reach 80% for instance. Designers usually can go up to 50-60% of copper in the slot. In terms of layout it is also easier to do any sort of connection as you can bend and reposition wires "easily". The cooling of these wires is not very easy as it comes as a large bundle of wire with resin/impregnation around them. Hairpin windings are a recent trend as they provide some benefits. The fill factor can be a bit higher but the slot has to be rectangular. Also as you mentioned Sandy, with higher speeds, you have higher frequency currents and then you can start to have eddy currents and proximity effects going on. It means the current goes mostly on the outside of the section, so you increase your AC losses. Also the conductor closer to the rotor and the airgap sees more varying magnetic flux density which also generate more losses as well as unbalances between wires. The connection of several paths of hairpins also creates unbalances in genral and you can have circulating currents. So in general, it looks easier on paper, or to manufacture and assemble but it means more challenges and less flexibility in the design. I think Tesla kept the wound windings for the simplicity it brings even if it may mean a slightly lower fill factor. They chose initially induction motors over PM motors for the same reason. Regarding the V shape or W shape of the magnets, it is obviously a very sensitive design depending on the performance to achieve, the magnets help for the low speed torque and the V shape acts to create reluctance torque at higher speeds. A tiny change in angle or dimension can change the torque or performance by 10% and the cost of magnet material as well. I work with Altair and we can test and simulate those several multiphysics effects. More than happy to answer any questions.

  36. This is so cool!! I'm very impressed that Ford was willing take the feedback and the time (therefore money) to be on the show. This is seriously quality TV for engineers.
    602
  37. HAHAHA, love it.
    601
  38. Was so great to speak with both of you - legends of the auto industry.

  39. This was pure engineering porn. I have a background in material science, and systems engineering, and this interview was wonderful.
    585
  40. Telling the truth ALL the time, good bad or ugly is a great philosophy of any company. Keep it going!
    575
  41. Awesome video! Can't wait for the rest of the series.
    566
  42. Even though Josh was a little nervous there at the start he is doing an amazing (and difficult!) job of keeping the 'interview' going and asking really relevant and important open-ended questions. Very well done, entertaining and very informative video!

  43. Munro and Associates are who the experts go to find out that which they do not know. Period. You guys have built up your reputation over decades, quietly, with diligence and integrity. I’m just happy and eternally thankful that we, the great unwashed, get to look behind the curtain at a world hidden for so long. Thank you Sandy, Corey and the whole team for educating and entertaining us all about technology, EV’s and innovation at the cutting edge.
    552
  44. I really appreciate your honesty, its so enjoyable to see Munro be so brutally honest to Ford!
    537
  45. I'm gonna buy Sandy some threaded fasteners for Christmas, he loves them.
    537
  46. This is why the Munro team has so much integrity - they call it how they see it. Thanks Sandy, Cory and the entire team at Munro for keeping the auto industry honest, REGARDLESS of the player.
    533
  47. Sandy is the one man that Elon has to answer to.
    532
  48. The richest guy on earth just sitting there and explaining things for one hour, I hope he will be example for other people, not just rich ones, but ordinary people too.
    524
  49. This is great, you don't normally get this level of technical detail on cars. I'd rather get my information from engineers than product managers and marketing reps any day.

  50. I cannot wait for the Cybertruck series from Munro Live.
