Maybe you should watch. My Mach-e is scheduled to be built June 21 and what he says still seems to make a lot of sense, particularly the risk of fluid leaks and why the frunk divider exists.I'm not gonna watch and hope I never see that nightmare-inducing picture of him again.
He is 100% WRONG about why the divider exists.Maybe you should watch. My Mach-e is scheduled to be built June 21 and what he says still seems to make a lot of sense, particularly the risk of fluid leaks and why the frunk divider exists.
Tesla apparently improved their design in a year and Ford might be able to do the same.
He also mentions that Ford doesn't work with his company anymore....I decided to take one for the team here and 1.5x'd my way through his long-winded video. It all came down to:
a) There's lots of parts;
b) That's more parts than Tesla;
c) More parts = bad;
d) The purpose of my company is to tell other companies how to package things more cheaply;
e) I used to work at Ford. A long, long time ago.
f) Did I mention I used to work at Ford?
I will humbly admit that I am not engineer, and certainly know next to nothing about packaging, heat exchange systems, designing reliable mechanical systems, etc. However, I will say I've learned nothing of use in this video.
YMMV, I guess.
Which makes his dislike for the decisions people that DO work for or with Ford made much easier to understand… nobody likes getting let go.He also mentions that Ford doesn't work with his company anymore....
From the video I thought all those hoses would be leaking all day, everyday, with all those commercial-off-the-shelf fasteners/clamps!Good thing hoses today last around 10 years and they have constant tension clamps not single wire. Going to be heavy costs on maintenance down the long and winding road.
Will watching that change anything? My car is what it is at this point. Unless there is some preventative maintenance I can perform, it sounds like fear-mongering.Maybe you should watch.
