I like when Jordan is in the show, very knowlegable and good with his explanations , please have him on more.
Sadly my policy is to give an automatic thumbs down 👎 when Sandy features. However today he didn’t rant about the same dozens or so of his broken record subjects, so we have progress.
@@hair2050 Then you should forget about Munro Live as the show is about Sandys work and company, and his teardowns abdbopinions after all The findings and reports, You my friend won't be missed if you and your thumbs down disappeared from Munro Live.
@@hair2050 Grandpa Simpson in the house
@@AuralioCabal-nl8gi No, you can follow with your head up Sandy's ass but in real life people that have opinions are able to express them to affect CHANGE. If Uncle Drunky hears enough rants about his boring repetitive opinions which he even referenced in this video then he will change, especially when he loses more viewers like he did after beloved hosts leave him (cory) for obvious reasons. Your opinion, my friend won't be needed again and certainly won't be missed, drone. 🎬
@@cuda426hemi Sandy has more qualifications and achievements than you can ever dream of , over 70 years old and he is still, working and educating people , much doubt if you graduated Kinder.
I'd like to see a deep dive into automotive adhesives which are used so much now. Another great, informative video Munro team!
Me too. With lots of info on their lifespan and how they compare to welds. 😅😅😅
@@AvocadoAtrocitystructural adhesives tend to have a higher fatigue resistance vs spot welds.
@@mmvanraa Indeed, and potentially vibration dampening.

I've been waiting for this analysis and you didn't disappoint. There is styling and there is engineering. Most people respond to the styling and don't see the engineering behind this vehicle. That is the real story. Thanks, Munro.
Engineering doesn't mean a thing if the styling is ugly. Just look at the '39 Airflows from Chrysler. It's never been zero sum, it's just engineers don't matter as far as sales. All Cyber owners know is the panel gaps, rust and other issues (gas pedal fiasco) don't speak well of any engineering on Cyber. 🎬
The goal is the lowest coefficient of drag, NOT styling, lipstick and a party dress . The stealth fighter doesn't have much Styling either 🙄
@@MashDaddy They didn't try to minimize the Cyber coefficient much at all because they liked the dumb wedge- it cuts like a brick into the air; like the Lambo Countach you are fooled by the slick design. Claimed .034 real world .034-.038. Rivian has .030 D.C.; Model 3 refresh .021 for comparison. 🎬
Cattywhampus has got to be one of my favorite precision technical terms surpassing cockeyed by miles🤣
I was going to comment on the word choice as well. Good to hear the new generation of engineers picking up on old school terminology.
ever heard "discombobulated" ? that's a good one
@@blaken3824 Now that’s another classic teardown term! 🙀
Sandy, Talking about Easter eggs, have you found 'Hi Sandy' !?!? Tesla Team left you a beauty!
Sandy & Jordan are the best! Understandable and informative-a rare combination of knowledge and personality that make engineering fun! Thank you!
cybertruck and cyberhammer reliefs in the stamping were a nice easter egg!
The flutes/channels are for drainage to prevent water/dirt buildup and ultimately prevent corrosion. They obviously have nothing to do with E-coat drainage in this application, since the panel has already been ecoated prior to being bonded to the stainless exterior.
THANKS SANDY,JORDAN, AND THE MUNRO TEAM,AND 3-D FOR SPONSORING THIS 👍TEARDOWN 🧐💚💚💚
I really like the Sandy/Jordan combo. Well presented
E-coated inner skin would very likely be dried and cured before bonding to SS outer skin, So it would be expected the drain holes are for condensation between panels (weep holes).
And for getting rid of water after you wade across a river.
The "flutes and gaps" look like moisture drains to me. The e-coat panel is probably already dry when attached to the stainless skin. Did you catch the Cybertruck and hammer silhouette stamped into the inner panel at 9:55 ?
yeah i was wondering why they would use the same e coat. also the mild steel is coated black while the stainless is not??
@@vornamenachname8001 the aluminum castings have the brown ecoat, the stainless steel skin does not need an ecoat obviously.
@@boostav- good comment for the main thread - was nice to know !!
Those escape paths are also for water drainage
specifically moisture/condensation, only, hopefully.
@@westendthug1408
Or when you drive across a river.
Okay, I paused as soon as I saw this, a 9:59 there is a dent shaped like a Cybertruck right in the middle of the panel backing. Do they ever mention this in the video? Edit: A little bit later, you can see a hammer shape in front of the CT, like it's dropping onto the front of the truck.
Thanks Sandy and Jordan. Very technical, yet strangely entertaining - The Naked Cyber Truck. A guy named Desmond Morris wrote a book in 1957 that was also technical yet engaging called "The Naked Ape" It was a hypothetical tear down, inspection and comparison of Humans. Way to go Munro Live!
I love your tear down videos. A quick question though, at the end, you said that you will be putting the side panels back on and doing torsional testing. We saw one corner of the mild steel stamping that was peeled up, and you said you wanted to peel up some more. Won't this compromise the torsion testing?
Sandy has two CTs...
@@DarylOster Yeah but he said they were going to put the panels back on then test. Why didn't they do that before ripping it apart?
Steel on the inside of the stainless steel panel makes me wonder about future corrosion. Dirt, mud, salt can get trapped up inside those pockets along with moisture and cause rust inside the panels. I've seen plenty of old trucks rust out from similar seams.
Agree. Lets hope the e-coating on the steel stands the test of time. The nice thing here is that one can replace every stainless panel on the vehicle with a wrench.
Dont even need a wrench. There's videos of them coming off on their own just from driving
That black coating last 2 salt winters maximum before it starts turn brown. Needs cavity wax but Tesla don't do rust profing.
"Looks like a banana, drives like a dog". Another amazing Sandyism!!!
Awesome! THANKS FOR VIDEO!
Thank you! Cheers!
Jordan is a keeper! Don’t let the competition poach this dude.
many thanks Sandy n team
Another great video presentation. Really like the way you welcome and embrace the discussion of what your seeing and analyzing. You and Jordan did a great job. Thanks!
I love how your videos feel like they are something i could do at home. That may not sound like a compliment, but your just a team of folks specialized in something other than making videos and advertising sales. Its nice.
In my opinion, the “flutes and escape paths” have nothing to do with the coating process (the coating is done before the stainless steel plates are glued on, which means there are no enclosed cavities anyway). To me, these areas look more like measures to avoid draw creases: Material is “used up” here that would otherwise form creases in the drawn part.
Or, since they are facing down, drainage.
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 Given it's Tesla, they probably fullfill multiple needs. Let's assume at least these two.
That was my first thought, but you’d also want to get rid of water if any makes its way inside following a river crossing for example.
Great video gentlemen! Wow- the engineering on this thing is just next level! Thanks- I can’t wait for my Cybertruck!
Thanks! Yet another example of why I subscribe. All the best
"eXoSkLEToN" my ass lmao
It contributes to torsional rigidity and also provides an extremely tough and durable body shell.
@@fredbloggs5902 yeah bro, you really need to rely on thick body panels for torsional stiffness when you have castings as thick as bricks /s
@@TennisGvy blocked
@@fredbloggs5902 dumb
It would be great if you could do a video on the nodal testing. Just to see how it's done.
Thanks for sharing these insights on the Cybertruck structure and assembly methods. Looking forward to seeing your results for body stiffness. Thanks for sharing.
Bravo guys! The pace, content, camera angles, ect ect are SPOT on in this episode. And as always, THANK YOU for your continued efforts to share and educate the world.. content like this is so critical, especially as your videos inspire the next generation of engineers!! #masterclass #teardowntitan !!
Those spot welds would need over 500kg of clamp and more than 10k amps of current.
Hate to interrupt the lovefest here, but could you address the weak bumper/hitch attachment structure? Its seems be dangerously inadequate for towing and vehicle recoveries. Please reference the youtube video, WhistlinDiesel Cybertruck Durability Test #1.
I came back here after watching WhistlinDiesel's video as well
I did as well.
Love you guys. Thanks!!!
Have been watching your tear down vedios. This is one of the best one. Now it is clear how everything fits together and you have done a great job explaining how tesla achieved their GD &T.
crap!!! achieved what?

Love how he used catywhompus as technical speak 😂
Maybe the near center crease spot weld was to straighten the stainless panel. Remember the early days of the truck it used to have a ripple in the stainless around the wheel arch when you looked down the vehicle (maybe a pinch point and warped the exterior). Now, of course this has been rectified.
Thanks...well done as usual!. Addressed a lot of questions. Looking forward to your continued 'big picture' assessments.
"looks like a banana, and drives like a dog" is something I'll never forget
You guys are miles ahead of the teardown reviewer on Autoline. Great video. What was Sandy's reaction to the Easter egg Tesla left him on the circuit board?
I like both. Each offers a unique perspective and value.
Very infomative video !!! I wonder how much of the current casting could be reuse without making too much changes, to make a minivan with 3 rows
or an utilitary cargo van with 2 front seats and a large box area, like an Amazon Rivian delivery and maybe with a slidding door?
Awesome review! Both of you are great! Thank you
making manufacturing great again!!!!! thanks sandy and crew
Our pleasure!
A great deal has been made about "The truck that won't rust" but using steel stampings to carry the stainless steel skin feels, to me, like saving up trouble for the future.
I hope the E Coat they're using is as good as it gets, it would be a crying shame for the Cybertruck if it became renown for being a rotten egg: Strong shell but stinking inside!
Given some of the early reports from owners, the outside may be rusting quickly enough to balance the internal rust out.
@@peglor People that buy cyber trucks dont even wash their own cars lol.
@@eriestreetgarage
Interesting piece of information - did you or someone else do a survey of the owners or is it made up out of thin air?
You think people that pay 200 grand for some hype beast are out there washing their own cars? Lmaooo
@@peglor the Number of Cybertrucks getting wrapped shows some people are keen to prevent their Stainless Steel from contamination Rust. I’d be betting that there is likely some zinc in that coating on the mild steel pressings to protect it from Rust .
Can Munro respond to whistling Diesels video about cracking the casting on the toe hitch?
How much does the the whole panel assembly weigh?
@MunroLive A deep dive into the side doors will be tremendous. I remember the Tesla engineers showing how the inners were laser welded to the outer around the perimeter without discoloration of the stainless.
Great explanation for us novices! L°°king forward to more insights. Cheers from New Orleans
Even though it has a stainless steel exterior, will it be rusting on the inside?
If salt and dirt end up in there, it will. I wouldn't expect much ending up in there as the bottom is glued shut everywhere except at the drain holes. And the wheel arch liners probably protect it from abrasion caused by the tyres flinging stuff around, so it'll take a long time. The same applies as for every car though: You should keep the car clean especially behind the plastic wheel arch liners, as that's where salt and dirt will accumulate and that's where any car will start to rust at.
Exactly my question after seeing how the inner panel was made from steel, not thinner SS.
Like every other steel car?
I would think the drain ports in the aft panel would also be good places for condensation to weep out from between the panels.
Tesla linked together with Spacex definitely packs a punch. I just saw some thing saying space x wants to be able to build one of those stainless steel starships every day! That’s the kind of production goals that creates mind blowing technology.
not to be rude but they pack nothing together! mettalurgy isnt just limited to tesla and spacex! get of your high horse! those very cheap japanese Kei truck are body on frame, single cab, an actual usable bed with colapsible sides.... thats how a truck should be! the way Sandy talks its like the cybertruck is the only or best way to go WTF!!!!! does the cybertruck also comes in single cab or longer bed?! does it have a dually?! a gooseneck?!
the Mercedes Sprinter, Vw transporter, ford Transit vans comes in hundreds of configurations body on frame with dually, single/dual cab, bed or just frame for all kinds of applications, dump truck, RV conversion, ambulance, bus and much more, even crane mounted, the cybertruck is definetly the worse truck ever made in terms of practicality.
@@alanmay7929 Where did Elon hurt you?
@@kingcarlobossio7067 wow! what a lame question! when did it mentioned his name in my comment?! yeah the "toughest" truck ever made, best offroader ever made and other blablabla right!
@@alanmay7929 Where did I say that? People that hate on Elon and/or Tesla are clearly hating fools. People think Elon pays them whenever they hear anything positive. Severe brain damage wouldn't you say....
Thank you!
Oof, a cast frame on a pickup truck is a serious weakness and I can see why WD broke his so easily. When It comes to trucks, flex helps absorb impacts and abuse, if it's to stiff the chassis will fail. Lastly lacking a ladder frame restricts what applications the truck can be used with.
Thanks that was cool.
Hilarious the way they talk about how simple the alignment of the components is in the Tesla compared to other cars, while at the same time ignoring Tesla's legendarily inconsistent panel gaps.
10:50 why wouldn't you zigzag the lazer weld instead of a straight line so you get the strength in both directions (which was implied with the spot weld)?!?
The lower the floor of the cab and the lower the bed of the cargo box the easier it is to get in and out and to load the back.
Getting these substantially lower means changing the location of a lot of components. If you see pickup trucks with really low cargo boxes they use small diameter wheels because what dictates the height of the bed is the axle and drive shaft in ICE trucks and the electric motors in electric trucks. You can lower the Cybertruck’s bed by a few inches by making the electric motors with a smaller diameter. But you can only do so much this way. Eventually the electric motor would be the same diameter as a shock absorber. Going a lot lower (below the axle height) means turning the electric motor sideways so it fits inside the wall of the box (between the quarter panel and the panel of the inside of the box.
Drop the bed a LOT and you go lower than the rear bumper. Now you need to incorporate the bumper and a trailer hitch into the tailgate. So that tailgate needs to be well connected to the truck and still be able to open and close. But do that and you get a big improvement in ease of use.
Of course, you can also use the suspension to lower the truck for people boarding and for loading cargo in the back. But you can only do so much before hitting the restrictions mentioned above.
The depth of the Cybertruck’s storage compartment in the back, that’s how low the whole cargo box bed could be. We have low floors in city buses. Same kind of thing.
What are those white dots??
3D scanning reference points, so the scanner knows how to stitch the “photos” it takes to each other.
The gaps between the dots are fixed or you can put them in any distance from each other??
Just stick them on randomly couple inches apart
Given the separate gigacasting and the side raiser castings, what are the odds that Tesla might release an "old school bed" work truck? (I don't mind the triangle, but for some work application as well as truck bed campers the triangle might be prohibitive) - seems like it would be a fairly easy change... maybe on the entry level CT - it would save Tesla quite a lot of money skipping the cover as well as the added stainless steel cost for those large sides
Think "outside the box" (or "the bed")
Install a full length slide-out on the bed.
Suddenly you have a VERY capable, easy access truck.
Then install ANOTHER slide-out attached to the "Airline tracks" on the sides.
That's where your tools live.
The lower slide?
Pull out the slide to load loose/ bagged material (add a 6" deep removable tray?)
Or you pull out the slide, load your sheet materials and slide it in.
If you have various uses, build a table on wheels, preload your gear at base, roll up to the slide, transfer.
.
If you're a technician?
Heavy tools/ racks/ component storage on the "inside" end, work table on the "rear" end of the slide.
And you slide out your lightweight tools on the upper slide for easy access.
.
Now you have a REALLY versatile truck, fully lockable and secure.
so the skin is glued on everywhere. Crazy. In five years after a few summers it will start to peel.
I want to know why the "vault" bed is so narrow ~4'. A regular pickup has 4' between the wheels and far wider everywhere else. Why couldn't Tesla do that? Was it the castings that took extra width, or is there something else going on? It would have been nice to have more volume in the Cybertruck bed
I was so excited about the Cybertruck for the past 4-5 years of anticipation. Love what Tesla engineers have done. The end product is not as great as the great parts and pieces you would expect...fairly small battery for a truck which results in not great road trip ability or towing range, god-awful visibility issues, and now with Rivian's refreshed R1s, lots of tech improvements and manufacturing improvements which maybe Sandy or Sue had a hand in? 380-420 mile range, new motors, etc...Rivian just took a very good truck and made it a great truck. So the excitement and promises of the Cybertruck have faded. I'll take a new Tri-Motor Rivian.
I love how elons team is rethinking engineering!
I love how one of those indents kinda looks like the over all shape of the cyber truck.
Id their is a middle layer between the outer skin and the casings, why is the outer skin made out of steel? The only advantage I can see is eliminating the need for paint, other than that, it's harder to stamp, harder to keep withing tolerance, and heavier. What if the outer sking was made out of aluminium? How much would that save/add in costs? And weight?
Harder to dent, harder to scratch, harder to pierce, harder to bend, just plain harder. There are plenty of aluminum trucks out there if you want one.
The recall comes a couple of weeks after Tesla delayed shipments of Cybertrucks to customers. Customers were told that the windshield wiper had an issue and that dealerships were awaiting parts to fix it before releasing the vehicles to their new owners. It was one of many delays the truck faced due to similar issues.
Customers had been complaining about the windshield wiper blades not functioning before the recall. One user posted a video on X showing the wiper blades not working during a rainstorm. A member of the Cybertruck Owners Club forums also reported wiper blades not working within minutes of receiving delivery of a brand-new Cybertruck.
I'm not totally sure , bu the panel showing laser welds appears to be laser welded to the outer, stainless, panel. I am sure that Tesla had problems with weld "blemishes" on the stainless, visible panels - and they went to some lengths to eliminate these - maybe laser welding (very controllable) helps in this regard....
I guarantee you the outer stainless skin is not welded to those inner steel structures.
Correct. The panel would show color changes from the welding heat that is generated.
@@jeffbransky7966 What kind of guarantee is that? Some sort of money back deal?
As shown in Sandy's tour of of the Cybertruck line with Lars, the door inners are stamped stainless (non-HFS) steel laser welded to the door outer panels.
We don't need to hang any hats on the exoskeleton thing. This is an evolving new method for building vehicles.
One question I always have when you guys do analyses of Tesla cars. And especially the cyber truck. Why are they not using magnetic olie suspension ?
What about the massive vertical welds from the side casting to the cabin? I have never seen welds so large!
Are the two parts electrically connected somewhere? I think the glue is isolating.
The Torsion Test may also Tell you How Well you assembled it all back...
I’ve asked before but the rack weight is super disappointing, what are your thoughts on the 440 lb across 8 points
I’m sure it’s been explained before but what are all of the white dots for that are placed all over the place?
Me too?
They're for the 3D scanner to pick up the surfaces and contours.
@@hotrodandrube9119 Thank you. Were they put on by Munro or Tesla?
@@MikeCasey311The white spots were put on by Munro to facilitate 3D scanning. There is no production need for them.
They take a "Pantograph ' (like an old dentist drill)

E-coat, or electrophoretic coating, is a high-tech process that uses an electrical current to apply a protective finish to metal surfaces:
1. Immerse
The metal is submerged in a water-based chemical bath containing paint particles, resin, pigment paste, and co-solvents. The water is de-ionized to remove conductive ions.
2. Apply current
An electrical current causes the paint emulsion to condense and form a coating film over the metal. The coating can be 0.1 mm thick and made up of many layers.
3. Cure
The metal is placed in a bake oven at a minimum of 375°F for at least 20 minutes to cure the paint.

And as is evident on this video; The Cybertruck is mainly anything but stainless steel. A lot of stainless, but mostly regular automotive steel and aluminum.
Great content as alway! At 15:55 Challenge to Jordan to say “parry wampus” 3 times.
The Speech Lessons have definitely improved Jordan's briefing skills...
interesting rear fender, so much material and especially space. It appears Tesla needs more stiffness than is available from the rear casting. this almost like the exoskeleton Tesla wanted back then, but I guess thicker stainless steel is not worth the expense and additional weight.
What’s the purpose of all the dots on the tear down? Something to do with their digital scanning?
Yes.
They measure the dot positions with a 3D pointer device.

What kind of corrosion warranty. Vw has like 12 year ,unlimited miles...on a $45k vehicle
Everyone one exept the Chinese have 12 years. Anyway this whole steel structure behind stainless panel would need some wax tretment. It's lacking in all American and Aisian cars. They don't do rust proofing
nice!
technically, impressive. However, it means that any incident that damages this in any way makes the vehicle a write off.
This is a body repair nightmare and explains why insurance is so expensive.

Presumably, if someone dents the rear fender, this whole assembly has to be replaced as a unit. Bondo and paint isn’t going to do you any good at the body shop.
Gotta love the F150 ad that YT attached to this video. R&D would have been a better allocation of those resources. 😆

Huge miss for the Van Life community not being able to enter bed from the cab. I would have made a awesome camper with solar panels. But not being able to traverse between bed and cab means I can't use the AC or the screen to watch movie or the surround sound while in the back.. that was real stupid. The back window is so narrow taking it out to move back and forth is not a option either. Huge Miss😢
409 stainless is magnetic IIRC, also not far from cost of mild steels
The Cybertruck underpinning are in my eyes more aesthetically pleasing than its actual exterior lines. I don't think this design would stand the test of time, it's aging badly already
What are all the white dots all over everything?
To scan it 👍
It would be cool if they have 3-D wrap material you could put on your Tesla cyber truck that look like the heat tiles from the starship.
Just magnet them on 😂😂
I'm sure it could be arranged
@@AvocadoAtrocity
The stainless isn't magnetic.
That could be done with the laser engraver used to mark the foundation series. A deep hexagon engrave would simulate the tile seams well. A vinyl sign shop could make the pattern in black and peel off the seams.
You can have anything you want printed on vinyl and wrapped on the vehicle
