    This spaghetti system only makes me more excited to see how Tesla will address thermal management for towing more than 14k lbs on their truck. Sandy's comparison between the Mach E & Tesla's thermal management was definitely an eye opener.

      As an example, Model 3 can't actually hold speeds over 200 kph well, even though it doesn't even need 100 kW for it. Just overheats.

    And that's the difference between a clean sheet of paper cooling system design like Tesla and a parts bin raid based design like Ford has done twice now: Mach E and Lightning. While the parts bin raid seems to be faster time to production, it also locks in a lot more assembly labor and parts cost. I sure hope Ford has a team doing a clean sheet of paper cooling system design to reduce their costs when the price squeeze hits (when demand and supply equalize for EVs). Otherwise they will see their profits evaporate.

      Ford already has the Labor and parts cost covered. If this was the first and only product they make it would be very inefficient to do this.
      But they build a LOT of F-150's every year.. The extra labor is not as significant of a factor for them.
      It is a messy and complicated system compared to Tesla for sure.

      'a clean sheet of paper' is not what we imagine but a process that needs to go thru many iterations to achieve the goals. it's neither clean nor cheap. Tesla's scrap piles are record setting in the auto industry but things will get better with time.
      a big/older manufacturer doesn't want to start from scratch as that generates both waste (scraps) and time delays. that is not to say simpler solutions can't be deployed on subsequent generations...

  • @koeniglicher

    5:30 - You told about two alternatives in HV modules: first alternative being: DCDC converter and AC charger both as separate modules from suppliers (Ford F-150 Lightning), with dual coolant lines and dual HV connectors. Versus second alternative being: one integrated component designed and/or made in-house (Tesla Model 3/Model Y/Model S since MY22). There is actually a third way: an integrated unit for both of these function from a supplier. See BMW iX3, iX, i4, where they source an integrated CCU (combined charging unit) for both of these functions, supplied by Panasonic.
    One of the problems with integration however is: once Tesla has integrated the AC charger too tighthly, they cannot easily update it from lets say a 9.6 kW charger to a 19.2 kW charger. You can already see, how Tesla Model 3, Y, S MY 22 fall behind the competition, as they only offer around 10 kW of charging power, when some competitors offer around 20 kW AC charging as an option. This is important for Europe, where 22 kW AC chargers are wide spread.
    Another issue is different markets of the world like EU (3 phase/1phase AC), USA (1 phase AC), China (3 phase AC), which will likely need different AC chargers and different charging inlets (CCS T2, CCS T1, GB/T). With a modular design, the onbord AC charger can be swapped independently from the DCDC convertes. With integrated stuff, several integrated variants must be designed, manufactured and stored for the different markets.
    The same is true if you wanted to add AC-charging related features like Vehicle-To-Load or Vehicle-To-Grid. In case of modules, they can be swapped for other modules, supporting these functions like Ford did with the Pro Power system. In case of highly integrated onbord chargers, they eventually need to be redesigned and re-integrated into their environment. Tesla obviously still has some way to go towards that goal.

    I read all 392 comments to date. By far, the leading concern is the complexity/reliability and associated accessibility to find and repair issues in the cooling system. Not being able to readily access all components of this system is a potential deal breaker to me. I believe it would be beneficial for Munro to do a Q&A video on the Lightning like they did for the 4680 battery pack and address these and other issues. They could possibly help assuage my concerns.

    As someone who's turned a lot of wrenches the FIRST thought I had seeing all the lines was how accessible that all is when the systems get older and leaks happen. How much has to get removed before you can get access to something, the whole cab of the truck? I already shy away ftom Ford as a buyer because their engineering is done to speed production and minimize cost on the assembly line but that creates problems and quite a few nightmares when servicing breakdowns in the future. And harder repair procedures mean higher costing repairs and customer dissatisfaction overall.

    Yes, there may be more hoses, components, fasteners, etc., on the Mach-E and Lightning when compared to a Tesla and therefore more failure points. And that may be driven by having to use off the shelf parts for maximizing ROI. But, do they work? Do Fords tend to have lots of failures when it comes to internal cooling and HVAC applications?
    There may be more parts, but that doesn't always mean low quality.

    Did you mention what the coolant was ? Two five way valves and hoses everywhere should have never made it to production. Can we assume the overflow tank is user accessible to maintain coolant levels along with a switch inside the tank to warn of a low level ? Running two aluminum lines all the way across the car to take advantage of a radiator in the front seems wasteful. Could the radiator(s) be in the back with small electric fans to force the heat out the back be possible ?

    Interesting and complex.
    Looking forward to the battery tare down. When I watched the Mach-E battery tare down noticed the high current wiring was a small gauge may be #6. Checked my temp rise table for single conductor in air, looks like a 150degC rise when fast charging at 350A, very large delta T cycling expecting connections to get loose over time.
    Some where is heard that when you do pedal to the metal the motors use 1000A, way off my table but it looks like a 400degC temp rise.

I certainly would expect that for a vehicle which is promised to enter production somewhere around mid year 2023. Some spy photos show a vehicle which looks almost the same in sheet metal as the concept, but with less aggressive wheel styling. There is also a humongous beam wiper mounted the driver side, stowed in the vertical position. I guess if you aren’t in SoCal, it actually does rain. There’s no word yet on the the cabin interior. Supposedly Tesla is sticking to its guns that the single motor version will start around $40K US.
