John please continue these visits with Terry and Caresoft. These deep dives and Terry's knowledge are so fascinating to hear about. The thinking of Tesla and Legacy automakers couldn't be further apart. Tesla really is thinking about car construction in a completely different way. Seems like the gap that the Legacy automakers need to bridge to Tesla is a near impossible one if they don't really re-evaluate their old ways.

A mob of, say, 12 engineers working a 12 hour shift trying to optimise a component to be 1g lighter, 1c cheaper, 1 second faster to make or to draw 1mW less power.

Have you not even glanced at videos on Tesla's production and how stone-age it is compared to even the most cheap products of established manufacturers? Haven't you heard about how established manufacturers have reached near-zero-waste production and sustainably powered production (even for their most cheap cars) while Tesla only publishes fake images with solar panels on their factory roofs which aren't really there, and chuck half a car's worth of waste out the side door every few hours? Tesla's production line is a dirty mess of scattered cardboard boxes and plastic bags, with employees marking things down on paper lists...and Elon points the interviewer to a robot carrying parts around...which is all scuffed and battered because he got it used, as it's something all manufacturers have used before Tesla was even founded ne it probably came with his purchase of the Toyota factory.

35:00 the line going to the battery pack from the air reservoir is absolutely to pressurise the battery pack if you are going into deep water - eg crossing a river.

I saw in a video that there is a dashboard setting button that allows the driver to set the vehicle for water fording. I believe they said it was indeed to provide positive pressure to the battery pack to help keep water from intruding.

These artificial/arbitrary specification requirements of Legacy OEMs are going to be the death of them and clearly nothing Tesla in particular is worried about when they're making their Cross Car Beam that's way more elegant and efficient in every single way.

You are correct that rearsteer is no innovation as many cars have had it before. Not aware its been used in the truck segment before, but thats just a minor thing in anycase. So what are the innovations that blow me away? The gigacastings that reduce complexity, increase quality and reduce weight. The dual purpose use like the model S suspension airtank and brace. The dashcross bar might not be a good solution for adding other mods, but brings lightness and ease of assembly that drives down cost with-out sacrificing functionality. The 48V architecture and ethernet ring reduces weight, cost and improves speed og communications and performance for the energy hungry low voltage devices such as the steering rack motors. Oh, the Octavalve heatpump system, while heatpumps are not needed In ICE cars that turns most energy into heat anyway. ITs the kind of innovation in simplification , integration with high performance. Kind of like the Semiconductor world.. Maybe some of that Silicon valley DNA is why Tesla is so disuptive even in the areas where legacy has nearly a 100 year headstart ....

In both EV and ICE, it seems that power density matters more than energy density. You can always recharge the battery, be it from an alternator or the high-voltage pack of an EV. If you can increase power density for the same energy density, you could make the low-voltage battery smaller. But what battery technologies could help with that?

Excellent storytelling as well as providing context to addressable problems/benefits that are relatable to a broad audience.

the steer by wire system you can tell require software engineering. The electric car is more like a computer. We all know how computer technology keeps coming down in price while advancing in computing power and efficiency and everything else. Batteries also will benefit from chemistry advancements while costs will keep coming down. Unfortunately for the gas powered combustion engine car it's had its day..., it can't compete with computer on wheels. Maybe a 9 year old by the time they turn 16 they might not want a gas car... that's just a few years away.

I was really curious about the Cybertruck’s air tank. Thanks for showing it. We have a structural battery pack and the S has a structural air tank. How can the Cybertruck have its air tank integrated into the structure or frame? There might be many frame parts which can be designed to hold pressurized air. It doesn’t need to be the crossbar. Since air can take any shape, that really opens up the possibilities what part of the frame can double as air tank. This would especially apply for the semi. You showed a tube that holds the dash assembly. That’s visually a first place to consider for an air tank. We don’t want an air tank to blow up in someone’s face, so there could be weak points built into the front of this tank, so a blast from a tank rupture would more likely blow the air away from the cabin. What if the suspension cylinders at the wheels were slightly larger, so you had 4 small tanks instead of one large tank?

This is a great show.

In this tear down Battery table, there are several key criteria missing, in this little tour, the static voltage, ie in a fully charged state, no charging or discharging current happening. The minimum and maximum voltage limits from full to empty, max voltage during charge, the Amp-hour charging capacity. Then times the Voltage, to convert to watt-hours each battery can deliver in to the system, and how much power the battery delivers into the system if there is a failure of the main charging source such as the Main Battery DC-DC Converter, or in gasoline or diesel systems, an engine stall or alternator failure. Mainly to determine how long after failure of the charging source does the system shut down. Ie how long after the warnings start sounding does the engine stall out because the injectors can’t spray, the ignition can’t spark and the engine manager can’t read the sensors to calculate the management of a running engine, electric power steering no longer has boost, vacuum pumps stop making vacuum for power brakes on Turbocharged or supercharged engines. Conversely. How long does the Tesla management system control the drivetrain if still controllable in the event of a Dc to DC step down converter that supplies the 48 volt power over Ethernet communication network the CyberTruck uses or the Canbus, on older Tesla vehicles, that run everything including the brake lights, headlights and all directional signals, power door latches, locks, window motors. Wiper motor, HVAC, which keeps the windshield fog free, and in the case of the electric slave fault tolerant, power steering rack. Tesla claims to have a multiple backed up steering column sensing system with multiple control systems driving that dual motor rack with independent power supples to keep control active after initial failure, that starts the warning alarms to pull over and stop driving immediately in the event of failure. The critical parameters are how well backed up is this redundant, critical steering system, and how much reserve steering time does the driver or Ai have to safely park this truck, before loss of steering input occurs when the shit hits the fan?

@@airheart1 that is all well and good, but I feel those who drive this technology, need to understand how much margin there is before it quits. How, well it works when one motor is disabled in the rack, how long it can operate when the primary source of energy is disabled, is is 1 minute, five minutes, ten minutes, etc. on way I could see this system have the perfect amount of reserve energy, is the system feeds off of regenerative voltage as the motor is automatically put into regenerative mode, so that as long as the vehicle is in motion, even if the main drive battery is out of the picture, the steering racks and their control system will continue to accept command input into there is no further motion, at which point, steering no longer matters, other than to get the vehicle to cooperate to be dragged onto a flatbed to be towed from the scene. If cooperation of a dead vehicle to steer, is not possible, the chassis is lifted and caster dollies are placed under the wheels.

This video should be shown to every secondary student 😊

6:15 this is the most crucial part to the whole steering system, without this on slippery surfaces you would just spin out so easily

😂😂"it's like wrestling an anaconda." That was a perfect analogy'

Fun fact: Not all Cybertrucks cost $100k. Some are $69k.

Well presented, high on facts and relevant context. And an interesting way of demonstrating how legacy procedures directly hamper creating the most efficient EV designs. Redundancy in aerospace, as fas as I know, works a little differently. You wouldn't just duplicate (or triple or quadruple) one actuation mechanism, but also make sure to have one or two different actuators. In the case of Tesla's steer-by-wire, the second eletric motor would at least have to come from a widely differing production batch, or even another manufacturer.

Thank you.
