- TaylorAlexander 5y agoSandy Munro is a high quality commentator here, IMO people should not downvote this. Also the Giga Press is a fascinating piece of engineering.
- bombcar 5y agoIt is very instructional to watch his early commentary and compare to now - the speed of changes and improvements is phenomenal.
- sidibe 5y agoWell in any case the change in his enthusiasm for and devotion to Tesla is phenomenal.
- panick21_ 5y agoWell he said he has been pitching large casting to OEM for a decade+ and then he sent a free suggesting excel table to Tesla after their analysis. Within less then a year Tesla was pushing hard into that technology and invested many 100s of millions into it. We don't of course know if Tesla did that because of his suggestions but they did 'the right thing'. He also just bought a Rivian so he clearly is happy for all well engineered products.
- recuter 5y agoHe didn't add that much to the original video this time but the Munro teardowns are fantastic and I can't believe they are posted for free. Sandy is awesome. People who don't know should check out the rest of the channel.
- krick 5y agoWhat would be the best couple of his videos to hook me up, if I'm not sure I'm actually interested?
- recuter 5y agoWell they tear down cars. Including Teslas. Originally he wasn't impressed because he found flaws. But Tesla fixed the flaws. And he changed his mind. That alone should sell you. He is also a consultant, but a grumpy old one. That's entertaining in its own way, he goes into fun rants.

I'm not a hardware guy at all and this tickles my brain, the clarity of thought, the way they approach stuff.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoGo to the videos page of the channel and sort by popularity.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoI imagine that Munro regards them as advertising for his main business which is supplying detailed analyses to corporate customers.
- rootusrootus 5y ago> the Giga Press is a fascinating piece of engineering Sure is. There's only what, 13 or so in the world at that size? And Tesla bought most of them.
- gibolt 5y ago*All of them. As far as anyone is aware, the very specific alloy needed is proprietary to Tesla. Volvo has one on order, but Tesla still jas even larger ones on order for the Cybertruck
- aspenmayer 5y agoI wonder if they will be able to use the same ones for their upcoming semi’s?
- jazzyjackson 5y agospeculation: tesla pivots and makes a semi-trailer-compatible variant of cybertruck tri-motor can probably haul a 53 foot trailer right? edit: from a brief googling, appears max tow capacity of tri-motor is approx 14,000 lbs, competitive with a F-350 dually; dry weight of 53 foot trailer happens to be around the same, sounds heavy to me but what do I know Still, could be good for ~20 footers, nothing to sneeze at
- aspenmayer 5y agoYou’re onto something! Bear with me… Tesla CyberTowTruck.
- panick21_ 5y agoThey will very likely have some casting in the Semi but unlike these cars the Semi will be a Body on Frame design so these structures will be less load baring then they are in cars. The Cybertruck will use it for the back-end but the structure will be in the exo-skelloton.
- blenderdt 5y agoKind of funny, related to this, is that Munro was also very impressed by the V8 Tesla from Rich Rebuilds. https://youtu.be/WJJydf7jTcI https://youtu.be/WJJydf7jTcI
- simondotau 5y agoI got the sense that Sandy was being polite, i.e. focusing on any positive things rather than pointing out any understandable flaws you’d expect from a semi-amateur garage build.
- blenderdt 5y agoI am not so sure. He really was impressed by how they manages to put in that V8 into the small space.
- tenpies 5y agoSandy Munro has been a Tesla shareholder and may be at this time - he's not exactly the best at disclosure. For this reason, I think anyone who legitimately cares should be quite skeptical of any opinions he has about Tesla and EVs at large.
- panick21_ 5y agoHe was very negative on Tesla at first, then observed their improvements first hand and realized they were rapidly improving and were willing to throw old things out no matter the investment. It was only at that point 1-2 years after he started making Tesla content that he bought shares. He is not delusional enough to think that he himself moves the stock price. If he thought Tesla was falling behind or stopped improving he would simply sell the stock (at lots of profit) and tell people that Tesla is going in the wrong direction.
- jim0266 5y agoLast time he mentioned Tesla shares in a video, he had sold them for a nice profit, but is no longer holding shares.
