@@billybobbob3003 In 2023 alone for every 100,000 EVs sold there were 25 fires, in contrast, for every 100,000 gas cars sold over 1,500 caught fire. Keep believing your conspiracy, I guess. This is easily verifiable. It is information gathered from a study by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and government recall data. And in fact it even goes further to say, and I quote, “Approximately 20 EV fires occurred in 2023. These incidents involved around 611,000 electric vehicles. Gasoline-powered vehicles, totaling about 4.4 million, experienced approximately 3,400 fires during the same period”. And quoting again, “The data clearly shows that gasoline vehicles are tenfold more likely to catch fire than their electric counterparts. Despite some high-profile EV fire incidents, the overall risk remains significantly lower for electric vehicles. So, while EVs are not entirely immune to fires, they are still a safer choice in this regard”.

Having the battery pack integrated into the floor and with the interior/seats bolted to the top of battery case sounds good for assembly. As someone who removes, disassembles and services/repairs high voltage battery backs after the fact in a shop at the dealership… it sounds horrible lol. The current setup for the BEV battery packs that I work on, they have the entire battery pack bolted to the underside of the unibody with no need to disturb or disassemble the interior. Just disconnect the hv connectors, remove those bolts on the perimeter holding the battery to the frame, drop it down. Then you can just unbolt and remove the top battery cover to access the inside of the battery unit and do what you need to do. I’m assuming they will need to remove all the seats and interior before being able to remove the top cover and accessing the inside of the hv battery unit? Oh well. More labor and more money for the technicians I guess! Seems like they are saving on assembly, but trading that for labor time to service/disassemble it if there’s an issue later on and gambling that nothing will fail or have a defect inside the hv battery unit. Time will tell, but it looks pretty rad.

What's the betting they will find it is like the Model Y: seats on top of a sealed structural battery unit filled with foam that renders battery and control units not just non repairable but incapable of being internally inspected without destructive entry and total PITA of manually removing foam or dissolving it with solvents That's leading to write off of Model Y's after even minor shunts and ramping insurance premiums

This format to me is not innovative. Maybe for initial consultation it is time saving and weight reducing but after that it's not a good idea for maintenance. For example, if you just want to replace the battery, now with this format, you not only need to remove the battery, but you also now need to transfer the seats carpet centre console etc onto the new battery before fitting which is extra work. With this layout, the battery is now a critical part of the body structure strength. Also, with this layout, the design is very vulnerable to corrosion and water salt ingress depending on the climate in which the vehicle is used

Sandy mentioned another big advantage of this type of assembly a while ago. With no floor in the way workers can stand inside the car while they install the steering wheel and hook up the dashboard electronics. They'll undoubtedly do this more quickly than the old way, and more ergonomically.* Sandy loves this design so much - it eliminates several work stations and speeds up the time at the remaining work stations. *Cars that are easier and more ergonomic for the workers to build save the company money on sick leave time and paying people overtime to fill in for the people who are out hurt.

Plus, since all this is done on the main assembly line, if there's a problem it slows down the entire main assembly line.

@@1EstebandOK, I see what you mean: Volkswagen Beetle has basically a body on frame architecture (which is known and very traditional), except that they integrated all the floor panels into the frame. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tW-HqZeMbXl_jKA . And thus the body itelf has no floor as visible in kzitem.info/news/bejne/tIaNuJ2DiZuLpIY . Body on frame has its own advantages and disadvantages. Still, the assembly process itself (I thought that was, what you were refering to) at marriage point is similar for most cars. Also with a BMW 1series or 3 series, Porsche Macan and whatever, the whole drivetrain (engine, gearbox, driveshafts, suspension, prop shaft, rear differential, steering rack) is preassembled and the body is preassembled separately and then they are married at an assemblly step called marriage.

Ugghh.. the very last step went smoothly, but they did alot of fiddling to get the charger bus bars disconnected.

So lots of caveats with this one.

Unfortunately, what he doesn't mention is what it costs the consumer... 1) Added cost to remove and replace the battery pack. 1) The structural battery pack is a throw away battery pack that can NOT be serviced! Please don't mention recycling. That does the consumer ZERO good! A great company with some of the smartest engineers. Unfortunately their talent goes to helping the wealthy make more money, rather than benefiting the little guy. That concludes my rant for the day.

Actual like my comment above, Tesla is building a lithium refinery in south Texas so they can make enough batteries since no one else would... eventually they will simply grind up the used batteries as a super rich lithium "ore" and make new, better batteries. The failure rate is very very low at this point on these Tesla packs... if it were not, with almost 2M Teslas sold last year and the media's penchant to overblow any small issue a Tesla has, we would be seeing a lot more about their "terrible" batteries in the news. Tesla themselves would have never engineered something like this if they were loosing money on constantly servicing batteries... As for the little guy, Tesla outsold the Toyota Corolla and the Ford F150 now... next year they will be introducing a $25K car that needs no oil changes or regular service and costs much less to operate in terms of energy (something over 100MPG equivalent). At this point whether we like it or not (and I like my gas cars) the electric vehicle transition is happening.

We need every battery that is manufacturered going into a vehicle, not dozens sitting in every single swap station. And I'm really not sure I buy the throughput argument. Either the swap station has an underground warehouse filled with dangerous and very expensive batteries, or after a handful of customers the station has to close so it can charge the packs it has recieved. And the throughput is reduced if they offer different styles of packs. And how do you innovate? A swap station implies a frozen "forever battery" design that never improves in any way that impacts the swapping hardware. It just feels like an insanely huge investment for something with limited upshots. And the mechanical aspects of the swap stations just feel like they are guaranteed to break or get out of alignment and that feels very dangerous. Nothing about it makes any sense to me. 🤷♂️

@connergrim7913 that's my point. The warranty costs will dilute any savings. Sure it's quiet now there's a brand new weather strip. The body flex over time will degrade it and lead to wind noise and water leak concerns. The top of the pack is sealed to itself, not from the inner side of the vehicle, yes packs are designed to contain a thermal event for a period of time but a actual solid body firewall would definitely be safer for the occupants.

The sheer amount of manufacturing processes and associated costs that Tesla has eliminated with the CT (and other Tesla vehicles) design, are simply staggering.

I told people that if Tesla was building ICE vehicles, they would be able to do so at a cost of 35 to 40% less than what conventional automakers currently achieve. Also- less complexity = better quality.

A great design that needs binders holding the hoist arms to prevent the truck from falling down because there is not lifting point big enough. Car made to save money on build but to keep the trouble for the repair situation. This also mean the final customer will need to have the seats remove in case of pack failure, pack replacement. This also mean you need more height from your hoist system because you dont just pull out a thin pack, you pull the full height of the seats. A car made to do money and make it hyper expensive to repair. At one point it is becoming ridiculous to build car like we build smartphones, with no reparability in mind.

I see how this a great idea as far as cost and speed of manufacturing goes. But this will make it a major pain if that battery ever needs serviced. I'm pretty sure tesla has designed the pack to never need servicing until its due for a total replacement, but I like that my ford lightning pack is non structural and completely protected by the frame rails and doesn't need anything done to the interior to work on the pack. Also serviceable pack modules vs. what Is likely a non serviceable sealed pack with the cells all glued together. If a few of those 4680 cells go bad you'll need a complete pack replacement is what I'm thinking. Reminds me of how cell phones have gone from replaceable batteries with removable back panels to sealed designs. When new and under warranty it doesn't really matter but from a 2nd or 3rd owners point of view I'd prefer something that won't require total replacement if something goes wrong in the battery. I look forward to seeing this pack cut open though, I'd like to see what's inside.

Modern Tesla batteries can't really be torn down.. .go look at Monroe's teardown of the Model Y pack. It's all foam filled and solid. The real idea here is you can't really remove and replace single modules from the battery anyways as they won't be balanced with the rest of the pack (go see some of the KZitem videos of people who tried and the battery ultimately failed again). Instead, Tesla is building a lithium refinery in south Texas not only to supply refined lithium imported from Australia to make more batteries, but eventually old batteries will be ground up and become super rich "ore" to be refined again. Aside from that, the reliability of Tesla batteries is so high at this point it's pretty much a non-issue.

You are both not wrong. This is part of a product lifecycle designed to have an end of life with less ability to repair either by knowledgeable owner or independent mechanic only through Tesla repair center which would replace the whole structural battery pack design with individual cells which can’t be replaced individually so the whole pack had to be replaced. Incentivizes purchasing new vehicle rather then repair the vehicle. Replacing battery structural pack can be done is/will be probably be expensive but less then purchase used or definitely new vehicle. Definitely came from current tech manufacturing and design.

@@skiboxing the F150 lightning battery has 9 modules that can be replaced individually vs needing a total pack replacement. About 4% of Ford trucks have had defects requiring a module replacement. Replacing 1/9th of the pack definitely saves the company on factory warranty claims. Tesla likely has a lesser defect % due to their many years experience and using cylindrical cells vs pouch cells. After 100k miles when my warranty is up if I need battery work it'll be possible and I'm sure it'll be cost effective with new or salvage pack modules. With the Tesla packs you're stuck needing a costly complete replacement and the cyber truck looks like that would also be very labor intensive given the interior is mounted to the battery pack. Also Fords pack is well protected and mounted on rubber pads to isolate it from vibration. Both have pros and cons but from an owners point of view I'd rather have a non structural serviceable battery pack.

@@curtiswhite7880 A fair point... but as the statistics seem to prove out, most of the issues that cause failures usually happen well before 100K and are usually due to manufacturing defects. So if you have engineered past most manufacturing defects (just like complicated ICE engines even from the worst manufacturers like Hyundai or Chrysler ;)) you get a 100K mile life before something major. With any luck getting a whole new pack will hit that magic price point which not only makes the cars cheaper to buy but also puts the replacement well into the range of the $5-9K engine replacement territory, except the fact that the residual value of the packs for their rare earth content (the core charge as it were) will be much higher than a blown engine. I also wouldn't be surprised by the time we get to that point of worn batteries that many aftermarket options will be available... especially if the growth rate of EVs stays on this curve. The Toyota Prius sold a fraction of the numbers that Tesla has and thee is a robust aftermarket of rebuilds and new batteries now (even lithium conversions) so I'm sure a new market will spring up (as long as the safety factors are regulated somehow). So yes, I agree that early EV builders like Ford need to take into account modular batteries... Tesla has mostly engineered past that and as well cause a major reduction in the cost of those batteries (maybe not in what they charge for a replacement, currently its pretty ridiculous) but I'm positive once we see the latest, high volume round of Tesla sales start aging, there will be solutions for these issue. The market always finds a way ;). We are just in the very early stages of this and only in the last 2-3 years or so has the amount of EVs (mostly Teslas) become consequential. Hey you are correct in your insight, but remember when OBD came out and people were complaining that we couldn't wrench on our cars anymore because they were turning into computers? I just had to replace and recode a transmission control module on my daughters Lexus... something I never would have thought was possible a while ago... but hey, I could get Techstream from a "source" and buy another module from Ebay, read the adaptation numbers from the side of the transmission housing and then make sure the pressure adaptations were transferred to the new TCU. Lexus would have charged thousands to fix it, but due to a robust aftermarket and generous online information sharing I could get it done... and certainly her 2011 LS460 is massively more complicated than a battery attached to electric motors ;). So yeah, I really hope and believe if I keep my 2022 Tesla for 10 years and the battery gets worn there will be companies offering either new build aftermarket or refurbished aftermarket packs which will probably be build in a different way than the OEM so I can keep my "clunker" on the road.
