First car engineered for crash safety!

That's why Volvo and the Mustang Mach E received top ratings from the IHS. The Volvo received an A+ and the Mustang Mach E received an A- because it didn't have the same headlights across all models. That the only reason the Mach E didn't receive an A+. You can check it out for yourself on the IHS channel.

@@MM-ui9rm Elon Musk says Tesla's latest beta self-driving software is ‘not great’ "FSD Beta 9.2 is actually not great imo, but Autopilot/AI team is rallying to improve as fast as possible," Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote on Twitter. Musk's critical tweet on Monday came just days after he touted Tesla's prowess with autonomous systems and components for them at an event called Tesla AI Day. Musk's critical tweet also follows the launch of a formal investigation into Tesla's Autopilot system by federal vehicle safety authorities in the US last week.

@@MM-ui9rm I'm waiting on your comment to shut you down. Your lord and savior himself Elon admitted that Tesla's autonomous driving has flaws and it's not that good.

I would also love that Sandy would just stand on the side and just do intro and outro…. And the keep quiet while Ben does his thing. Him always interrupting is so freaking annoying

Soon he'll have his own radio show on which he won't play any music and just yap away cracking jokes :)

@@Cloxxki what jokes ????

He is very knowledgeable. That company is awesome. Such interesting content

That was probably the result of collision simulations. Scalloping the edge is stronger and potentially has more consistent strength. It allows stretching metal to spread the force over more of the spot weld, in part by reducing the leverage of a straight edge, reducing the peak stress. They didn't do it elsewhere because the cost saving of using a straight edge was more important than increased strength and very slightly decreased weight.

@@1djbecker Very interesting! Thank you.

@@1djbecker it amazes me the amount of tiny engineering details that goes into these vehicles

@@1djbecker i agree on you. it must be a crash energy absorbing concern here，while Japanese cars like to scallop edges to reduce weight，and they do it on every single edges they could

Enjoy!

Indeed

Ye!

Right! I remember 1 kg=2.2 pounds.

I always doubled to get a rough estimate

My body is ready!

Don't hold your breath..

Me too. Then we will see some real innovation and quality materials...not just a load of stamped sh*t metal.

I think Tesla took the lead on crash safety looking at the testing results and this is Fords Electric car response. A good attempt in steel by Ford but I think it would be unfair on Ford to compare it with the model 3 or Y . Especially against a gigapressed Chassis …

I checked the weight of a LR model Y, and it's 4415 pounds. The weight of the heaviest Mach-E is 4890 pounds! Structural efficiency is an interesting term, I would like to see this as well.

Love to see your comment on Elon's 5 steps of engineering 1 - Make the requirements less dumb. 2 - Delete the part or process 3 - Simplify or Optimize the part or process 4 - Accelerate cycle time 5 - Automate He said this in one of Tim dodd video

Tow.

True, it's definitely not a Mustang body or a SUV Truck body. but, it's still less Advanced than Tesla.

Not really. Weight is BEVs worst enemy. It’s poorly designed in the most important aspect of an EV. They basically just tried to make it work. Had to add more safety features since it was too heavy which made it even heavier. Clearly, Ford has no idea how to build electric vehicles and how to ensures all teams are coordinated to reduce weight and complexity. Every engineer know building complex things is easy. Simplifying is the real challenge and that exactly where Ford failed to deliver.

@@markplott4820 It's too heavy. But the first Model 3 body-in-white was too heavy, too. Way too many parts and too much welding. For a first stab at a BEV, Ford didn't do badly at all on the body-in-white. Just shave some weight and it's competitive. Tesla is *still* working on ways to reduce the weight of its vehicles. It's a work in progress. It's the HVAC, electrical wiring, software and fasteners where Ford lags badly. Meh, encapsulating Ford's tech lag can't be done in a sentence, but that's my too-brief stab at it.

@@Urgelt - the difference is, TESLA after the 2018 model 3 teardown, in 3 months went to only a 3 part casting, reducing weight, parts, welds and fastener. and the Model Y , improving even further, with Single rear casting, that NO other OEM uses, to build a BEV.

@@markplott4820 That is kinda sorta my point. Tesla came out with an overweight Model 3 with too many parts, then got right to work to improve it. That's still ongoing, but they've made a lot of progress. Ford came out with an overweight Mach-E with too many parts + energy inefficiencies in the HVAC and electrical systems. So what's the plan? I won't count Ford as dead until it files its bankruptcy paperwork. Until then, I am hoping that they will lean into BEVs hard and get the improvements they will need to have a shot at surviving this disruption. 'Cause if they don't, they won't.

Promoting a tipping culture outside of restaurants is an error. Here we expect employers to pay a fair living wage, and polite efficient service from trained people to be the norm if they want our business.

The cashiers probably has the lowest income

@@casperhansen826 Tipping's a poor solution.

2012 is not anything near early for those ideas

A modern Car which went into such a Crash needs to replace a lot. Btw.: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7VliLmSra2rgqs.html here are the Videos of the IIHS Crash, afaik it had 2 Problems: Some Basic Headlamps were not perfect and some Access Problems after the Crash, but still above average in both points. For the repair part, my Ex-Girlfriend crashed a Skoda (VW) into the main traffic bollard with the main Batterie for the whole Chain and it seemed not to bad, but we had to replace a lot of the frontal Section to get it passed the 2 year inspection here in Germany. Crumble Zones are like Crash Helmets, after the first accident they need to be replaced. The same on my Mondeo (Fusion in US) when a car crashed into my rear, they had to cut off all of the crumble elements and mount new ones. But the White Body was protected and everything straight.

@David No I don't work at Ford , but I have worked with crash issues for other OEM:s in Europe for more than 20 years.

@@flyfishing_and_hiking I got the impression others manage it with a much smaller fin though, after all, it's not the size, but what you do with it

@@mjcamp01 All OEM:s don't have the same internal requirements. Some might have req. which exceeds those of rating and/or legal requirements regarding crash, so it depends. The shark fin might be too bulky, but it's not necessarily so.

Great PR stunt opportunity for Ford right there, courtesy of the one and only Sandy Munro.

No , it is not strong enough for any serious naval tow operations. I did notice that there was only the one anchor point of that type on the structure. So it must restrain all back seats and passengers that could be as much as 800 pounds multiplied whatever the g-force is. That is a serious amount of stress.

Way to click!

1000mile bev? Maybe. A trailer that costs $30,000 instead of $10,000 definitely.

Megacasting replaces almost none of the components they talked about today. It ties into the tusk and shotgun but is specifically dealing with suspension and drivetrain and things underneath. The rear megacasting includes a cross beam that would be directly behind the rear seat bracket. But it doesnt really go up into the quarter panels.

F Talk to tesla about the booster seats in the Model Y

I’m tagging this question. Hope they answer that question as most of us have the Panoramic sunroof

We appreciate that!

They're gonna have to compete with the Cyber Truck Police Car concept though.

Glad you enjoyed it

Yes tell us sandy.

Sandy saves some for comparison, and benchmark. other, less critical parts he Auctions off , or gives them away, the JUNK gets recycled.
