"I can put beer in the front?! That's a Tesla competitor!" 😂😂😂
Monro is loosing it, just damn silly.
I think he's absolutely right. That kind of innovation is what wins customers. *Especially* Mustang fans.
Didn't Rivian debut this idea when they introduced the R1T?
@@treverhansen1757 that's the good thing about competition it forces you to innovate.
@@coredumperror I agree, but with that, you just said the Mustang EV it's a niche product, and that is telling... Tesla stockholders can rest easy
Sandy turning his EV into a ICE car 😎
I see what you... no, wait! What did you do there?
HAHAHHA
best comment ...

Hahahaha
Discovers you can put beer in the frunk: This is a Tesla competitor!
Ahah
*chuckle* Note to EV designers - if you want Sandy to like your car include a beer shaker in the frunk with circular launching pads to place shaken beer into for lift off. Also ensure that you include a drain hole to allow the sticky IPA to drip all over the front motor and other components under the beer shaker!
LOL. But it's the simple things that sometimes can make all the difference. To ME the frunk says "We put some thought into this car. Hope you like it. We were thinking about you". They put in a frunk and then added dividers to make it more useful. I guess If you don't need the dividers you toss them under the back floor.
And they put the beer & ice bucket right next to the critical battery 👌
Actually that features mile sale many mustang EVs just for that feature😅
Last time we saw Sandy this happy was when he found a Tesla foam cube
How to get Sandy's approval, involve design that includes a cold beer.
And, as a Canadian, I appreciate that one of Sandy's "test beers" was a Labatt Blue! :-)
Seems silly not to have the frunk dividers easily removable to take larger objects
Remove a few clips and it comes out.
You can see that most of that pulls out to leave an empty frunk. Be nice if they designed the pull-outs to fold flat unobtrusively in another part of the car. Maybe they have?
it's too get around the rules that if the space is bigger than some volume it have too have a emergency releace button inside in case of kids stuck in there. so they devide it up too get bellow that limit.
@@sasor098 ^This guys gets it.
I believe this might have something to do with preventing children from wanting to crawl inside. Even though there is a glow in the dark button to release the f-runk, I think some new law also requires the cavity to be divided into small enough sections.
LOL "I don't like trying to breath... and get excited at the same time."
so.... intercourse is out of the question?
Sandy: I want COOL EV
Mustang : hold your beer🍻
= Sandy Happy...
'This isn’t my car' says Sandy as he rips it apart!
This youtube channel is my favourite thing to come out of the COVID situation. Sandy is like your car-savvy uncle who gives you honest advice and has real opinions. Except that his opinions are based on knowledge and experience and not what-a-guy-at-the-bar-told-me. Thank you for performing this service for those of us who love EVs and want to make an informed decision about them.
Thanks @Coal Sparks! I really appreciate you tuning-in.
Sandy, do you know how to use a bag of ice? You drop it on the floor several times to break it up into small pieces, then you cut open the bag. LOL
He does not.
@@MunroLive agreed
@@MunroLive i don't think people realize how your brain works differently when on film and trying to speak to the camera.... it is pretty tough to do it all at once
Come on, he said he should have smashed it some more!
@@dbwelder9159 Every college aged frat guy that has ever had to fill up a cooler or tub knows you drop the bag on the floor several times before opening the bag, LOL
Sandy, the cargo divider is for regulation. If it were removed, the space would be too large and require an emergency escape latch. Dividing the space like this is a loophole
Interesting!
Wow! That's a clever two-fer, then!!
They already removed the divider from new builds. And there is an emergency latch.
11:03 “Some guys like to drink from the BACK of the car and some guys like to drink from the FRONT of the car” knowing Sandy’s sense of humor... I don’t think this was an accident
Sandy way too excited about putting ice in the frunk.
*3 second intro, outstanding, very thoughtful, ty! Ain't nobody got time for those 40 second "look how great I am at editing" triple intros!!*
LOL: This is a very aggressive snap. This one broke too!
Sandy: I had the guys bring me the proper tools to remove these clipped in panels.
Sandy 20 seconds later: Tears the panels off the front using his hands and barely uses the tools*
Gotta love this guy!
And breaks at least three of the snap connectors!
Yeah, that's bad, breaking clips for something that needs to be accessed for routine maintenance.
Sandy appears to enjoy his beer. lol
Living in the Midwest will do that to you.
Not as important as keeping the beer cold, but it'll also keep your other groceries cool as well if you're one of those slow shoppers.
Very true!
Ice cream and meat.
Why, its not insulated, it'd prob be cooler inside the car a.c.
@@emmanuelgutierrez8616 Depends on the weather outside. If it's really cold, you'll be running the cabin heater, which likely warms the trunk. But put your groceries in the frunk and they'll stay nice and chilly. When it's hot outside, keep the groceries in the trunk, and the AC will keep them cool.
@@emmanuelgutierrez8616 1 ) Cooling takes extra energy. The EV killer nr1. 2 ) all the ( Belgian ) beer is gone before the ice is melted ;-)
Rubber seal on hood is also far less likely to get torn up. 4 stops prolly ensures tight & square seal between rubber gasket & tub.
That is exactly what I thought and was just about to write. Took a look first if someone thought the same. Anyways, that also explains why Sandy never designed 4 stops: ICE cars usually only have a gasket covering the forward face of the hood.
@@GurgelKoff U R the best!
Gotta give it to them, Ford know EXACTLY who their customers are. Put beer bottle holders in the frunk and you have a Tesla Killer!
Well, if the beers are in the frunk at least you can't drink AND drive 😂
"This is a drain hole!" Hold my beer!
When I saw the Mach E's frunk drain, I instantly got jealous with my Model Y and I'm thinking about adding a drain in myself 😂
I'll be putting a fridge in my Cybertruck's frunk. The power outlets are a game changer.
oh jeez. this changes everything lol
Yes CT is way better then Ford plastic crap.
hahahahaha sandy really got excited about this one. 😂
Love you Sandy but the ice chest idea is not that big of a deal. In fact, I would bet most owners will reclaim the full storage space in the frunk by removing the dividers. Thanks for all you do!
You're Welcome!
I think the divider is removable. Noticing two openings at top of the divider. I imagine grabbed it by both hands and just pull it out.
@@jauharvey3534 Not that easy. It's held in place by a few allen screws. It's removable, but not as easily as it should be. If I had one, I'd replace those screws with some thumb screws I could remove without tools. I'm a fan of the dividers, but easy removal would be a must.
Agreed. Although it’s a “slick idea” and would be a nice addition to my Tesla, I highly doubt I’d ever use it that way. Just as easy to bring a small cooler that I can place a ways away from the vehicle. I don’t need to advertise that the hood is open.
Forget about Car and Driver or Autoblog. Sandy is a must watch. Funny and lots of insight!
A cup holder for a beer up front and Sandy's perception of the whole car changed 180⁰ haha 😂😂
Now we know the trick!
The guys who designed and probably fought for the frunk design are probably dancing at the office.
Honestly who cares! All cars have very different characters and features ans thats why there is choice.
@@carholic-sz3qv the point being is that they're being given kudos by Munro for the design. That's high praise.
@@rick67hou unfortunately there are still tesla fangirls that are always hating on every car that isn't a tesla ans its a shame.
they are most probably dancing at the office, but I doubt they saw this video.
The ID.4 has a shorter nose and a larger interior. No beer cooling option though.
VW made a car for the masses, not a car for Sandy. Which in terms of sales and profit seems like a good thing for VW.
Who would've thought being able to hold beer would be what gets Sandy excited 🤣
Sandy, the frunk on the Mach E sucks. I can put groceries in my Model Y. I can put a cooler in my Model Y. I can see the advantage to a drain hole. Removing the access covers was ridiculously difficult, especially if you need to jump the 12v. They stop taking orders on the Lucid Elite. Do you suppose that after seeing this Lucid is making plans for a wine cellar?
The frunk of the mach E is certainly way cooler than the model y and the drain hole is good addition. The ford engineers aren't dumb and they have probably used another solution instead of jumping the 12v battery.
Never seen anybody so happy to have a place to keep their beer cold! Way to go Sandy!
God Bless America and Ford!
watching you is a GREAT way to start a week.... keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it!
Looks a bit silly you have to remove plastic trim where clips breaks off, in case of accessing the two fluid reservoirs. I guess they would be a regular service check point.
That's amazing. Us Australian's will love this eskee for beer. It may need to be bigger for our road trips lol we only get approx 20 to 40 kilometers per bottle of beer.
If Ford had flipped the 12v battery around, you could jump it easier, since any place on the frame would do as a ground, and the +(red) terminal would be easier to get to with a jumper cable or 12v battery charger, without have to pry that panel up. Otherwise it is a good clean design and far superior to the VW, by not wasting that highly useful storage space under the hood. 👍🏼
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that there is no bottle opener!!
Well crap...
When working with VW in Belgium we had the Golf with a beer bottle opener in the manual pouch going to some markets. No kidding. It was part of the sequencing call. It just makes sense to have one coming with the Mustang. :)
Actually there is, you just have to find the dual purpose tool?!🤔
It is a good day for the high ups at Ford to receive praise from Sandy today.
I like the new swag on the merch shelf!
Thanks Z zz!
Great video, Sandy. Very revealing. I've come to a totally different conclusion. Tesla has nothing to worry about.
1. No way to open the frunk without opening the driver's door.
2. Frunk isn't secure from parking lot attendants.
3. The potentially large size of the frunk is nullified with those attached dividers. I'd toss them out.
4. Will water get into the frunk through that drain hole when driving through puddles?
5. Ford made it overly hard to access the battery and fluid reservoirs with those aggressive fasteners.
6. Broken fasteners will keep Ford dealerships happy fixing rattles.
Hey Sandy I know why Ford put does divider on the frunk. From exotic car experience, in order to save money and complexity, they put the divider so to avoid adding a human escape release in case of kidnapping which is a requirement for certain size frunks in the US.
There still is a release button. You cannot see it in this video but it is in the right front corner of the frunk.
@@MunroLive The dividers can be easily removed
The electronic emergency release didn't get regulatory approval before launch but will be with a OTA update soon, and therefore future mach e's will no longer come with the divider. They will also add multiple ways to electronically open the frunk.
Sandy answered the big question in Chris L's comment few comments down. The dividers are removable. So perhaps it was kludged in with permanent fasteners for the legal reasons you mention, until they could get the regulatory approval db4c 09 mentions.
seeing this car being sold in Europe the bump stops could be part of that with our pedestrian protection rules
TESLA is also sold in Europe. They add these bars also in race cars so the chassis is less flexible.
I think Europe must have pedestrians that are not aware of their surroundings due the direct affect of breathing in diesel PM2.5 particles all their lives (in the states, we have kids still eating lead laden paint chips and flushing it down with lead soaked water). Unless European car manufactures design a Casper mattress like bumper/hood, I don't see how get creating a deflecting hood helps.
@@kevinsears4779 Deflecting hoods do help because in most cities the max speed is 30 km/h ( 19 Mph ) Bikes and pedestrians have priority over cars. Older diesels are already banned from the city = EU norm. Streets here in Belgium are very narrow, driving a chevy avalanche, like me :-) is already crazy ;-) In general, you are faster with a bike than with a car. With that in mind, you know why e-bikes are so popular over here..
Also since the pandemic, you see fewer cars in the streets because online shopping is booming and people work from home.
I'd root for the hometeam too, but the Mach-E is built in Mexico.
Girlfriend and I test drove one for her last weekend. She now has one on order, replacing a C-Max plug-in Hybrid. What we drove was a single motor, premium, and the power was very good. I've driven a model 3, and this seemed more powerful. Looks like delivery may be as much as 16 weeks out. Her wheels are much nicer than the ones on this one.
Could compare the way First Responders would be able to disable the high voltage power by cutting the power loop to the relay switch.
The Tesla Model 3 and 4 have it very noticeable, but I cannot see it for the Mach-E and the VW ID.4 ?
Ford did not use a power loop on the Mach-E (like many of the other EV manufacturers do), rather they have a Service Disconnect "Switch" for the high voltage system located in the frunk. You can search "Ford Mach-E Emergency Response Guide" for more specific info on what they instruct emergency responders to do when working around the Mach-E.
Thank you Sandy. I think this needs to be compulsory viewing for my second year engineering students working on creative design.
Thanks Brendan!
Chilling Guinness? As an Irishman from the town where it was invented I am recoiling in horror! :-)
You know that boys never gets old when you see Sandy excited about the ice and beer trick in a car L) love it.
Those cross braces in the front box are used as much for dynamics as vibration nowadays. Makes sense on a "Mustang" branded vehicle.
The 12v should be a little further back so both the + and - are accessible. Then you would not have to pop that extra cover to get to the +. But that crossmember is in the way of course.
There are 12v leads behind cover near passenger side headlight
The drain hole can also be for a wet umbrella ;-) And the 2008-2013 Chevy Avalanche also haves some ice boxes in the back. So with all the stainless-steel they use at the Cybertruck, the least I expect is a build-in BBQ :-)
Brilliant!!! Put an electric smoker in the frunk of the CyberTruck!!! 😃😋 And route the smoke outlets under the rear bumper just for laughs!!!😆
@@danoberste8146 Or out a "stack" behind the cab perhaps?
@@danoberste8146 In the frunk , there is also room for a fridge ;-)
Sandy is the man's man 💪♂️🍻 ALL we need is the logically obvious pursuit of beer happiness 👍💪👏👏👏
Any panels covering occasional access items like fluid reservoirs and batteries should be fastened with with screws or 1/4 turn clips that don't break. The plastic clips on this one may save Ford a minute of assembly time and a few cents per vehicle but is a PITA for the dealer or owner. Just shows where the manufacturers' head is at.
I'm a devoted Tesla fanboy. Nothing has come close to Tesla EXCEPT the Ford mach e, which I saw in person and was impressed. I still think Tesla wins in most specs, but Ford has developed a worthy competitor and I look forward to what Ford develops in the future.
I have never seen Sandy so excited about something so simple. That is really cool though! Reminds me of the trunk in the Honda Ridgeline. It can be used as a cooler too.
I love it!
"There's no heat under here." Until it bakes in the Florida summer.
Somewhere in a Tesla gigafactory there is an engineer hard at work incorporating cup holders and a drain into the Tesla frunk based on a text just received from Elon.
The frunk has been a hit at Cars & Coffee. LOL
A Michigan guy drinking Canadian beer, very much on point
I like the idea of a drain. Seems like a easy retrofit and a easy thing for future cars to add. A must have for the up coming trucks and off road evs
"This has Tesla beat." Oh, I broke the part at two places that requires a visit to the dealer for a $0,20 part that the dealer will charge me $10 a piece for.
One thing EVERY auto manufacture needs to implement. Washer fluid reservoir needs to be able to fit 1 FULL gallon when the low fluid level warning is activated.
Thing is the Mach E is a more expensive can than the ID4.
Yes it is, both are good vehicles and cheaper, better built than Teslas
@@GA-wq8xq You clearly haven't watched Munro much if you think that >.
@@GA-wq8xq Maybe when it comes to panel gaps but the Tesla is much better designed.
@@XKS99 good design can be subjective. Tesla has some good design ideas but is also lacking in some areas such as not ha big a screen in front of the driver. All other EVs do this as most people prefer that. Tesla’s rear bumper was badly designed since water and sand/dirt got caught and ripped the bumper off, or the case of water flowing into the trunk when it was open and raining since water ran straight into it. So all companies make mistakes.
Just did a road trip with Model Y. I appreciate being able to put a duffel bag and yoga mat in the frunk vs. non removable dividers offered by Ford. On another note, I bet that aggressively secured panel is a guaranteed break during a cold day removal.
part of the reason they split the frunk is to avoid having to include an emergency escape button/handle. at a certain size it becomes a requirement, the divider makes the continued storage space smaller then requirements
"This makes Uncle Sandy happy!" lol
Frunk divider is eliminated on job 2 for the 2021 model. OTA updates will provide functionality of the front electric release for job 1 vehicles. Soft button on the large screen and Ford Pass app will now operate the frunk release as well as via the door code 7/8 button after code is entered.
LOL Sandy trying to pry off the cover was hilarious. They all break so easily tho.
I love guiness too. I see Sandy is a man of culture.
Not sure but some reviewers have stated that the frunk divider is in place for some legal reason. And it is removable.
Labatts blue!!! Thanks for supporting your local Canadian brewery. Hope it was as delicious there as it is here
Why hasn't Ford shown this in their advertising? That's awesome!
Are you going to do a full teardown with the ID.4 and Mach-E?? We'd all love to see that!
Honestly, an EV they can get their hands on would be nice. The more people can get some free insights into how to make better EVs, the faster we'll see more that are worth buying.
I'd like to see one car from each major platform.
I love how the man goes and gets bottles like we don't get the idea already 😂 never change, Sandy! 🇨🇦 ❤
Sandy turned into David Lynch as soon as he saw the ice and beer storage.
Sandy, this series is awesome. This is real information about vehicles, just watched the two previous vids on front and rear suspension. I wonder if Ford can make any money on these cars, as Sandy explains so well, this is a cut above your average Ford.
It's super fun to watch Sandy get super excited and also see him grumpy. LOL! Beer tub sounds good and cheers!
The designers deserve the praise. Thats what we want to have from ALL OEMs.
Build better cars, even if its only one piece better then Tesla.
I own two Teslas and i am happy with them. But competition makes everybody
work harder to maker a better product. Good for us customers!
Why so excited by a cooler with no insulation? You can just put an actual cooler in the trunk.
Did I miss something about why a hole in a plastic liner is so great?
Well aside from drinks it can be really big for wet objects like raincoats, wetsuits and anything you don’t want to dirty up your interior/boot with. A nice to have feature for a lot of people
@@elysiumchaser7799 and if you do that a lot and need a drain a drill is beyond possible?
I get why it's useful. I don't get why it's worth excitement.
"what an amazing idea very few will ever use even once! Yay!!"
Tesla seems to track people's use of these cars.
"Nobody's opening the frunk, delete grocery hooks"
"Very few using mobile charger, stop giving everybody 14-50 adapter"
Etc...
A little bit big brother/creepy? Yes.
Brilliant cost savings? Yes.
@@elysiumchaser7799 I get that but just drill a hole in the frunk liner in your tesla. This is a 5 second modification. I'm just saying that he was way to excited about a hole in a bit of plastic.
two snaps fail first use - this works for me - Sandy's words not mine
Priceless. Great design. Drinking and driving......hmmmmm
That's why we need self-driving cars.
You’re not driving when you’re standing outside the frunk enjoying a cold one...that’s called tailgating, ur, uh, frunkgating!
I don't drink, but even then I thought that this was a fantastic idea. I also agree that it would be great for Tesla to follow suit on this one matter.
honestly looks like you were supposed to slide out the cover but I dunno. watching him walk up with ICE and some burs is hilarious.
From what I heard, Ford didn’t want to engineer an inside hatch release for the space so they added dividers and can holders. It’s cool, but it’s an afterthought. Most people will remove as many of those dividers as possible and use it for extra storage.
@@phxees Many people will use this as a cooler if it retains temp well enough. It is so easy, you just dump ice into the center compartment and have your stuff all around it. The real question is if the drainage works well and water doesn't flow onto any components it may damage.
@@_PatrickO Good point, but you know it isn't insulated, and it's black. It's mostly just for show unless you live in Wyoming or Oregon.
It's something people will do once and then remember how silly it is to carry ice and drinks in a real cooler before dumping them in there. People will find uses for it, but I just want the extra space for luggage,
Nobody is replying to your comment on the cover sliding out not popping up.
@@johndodge8999 yeah I noticed that
This car is made for me. Let's get some ice! 😄
Car with a bar. Sandy goes nuts. 😂
FYI that thing in the front truck is to skirt around the regulations so they don't have to install a latch inside the hood like cars have in their trunk. It's also done on a lot of supercars for the same reason
Love all those little sideways swipes against VW ID.4 "ICE design" in the frunk part ;-).
I like the ice cooler in the frunk. Wow, I didn't know that. I don't have to bring ice cooler anymore on vacation.
Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the hood of a car gets really warm outdoors. I put a cooler in the frunk of my Tesla by Tesmanian that fits it perfectly and falls juuuust short of a Yeti in terms of performance. I think the beer thing is a really cool idea, but I don't think it really works well in practice because it's not insulated. Just because the front of the car doesn't produce heat doesn't mean it doesn't get hot. Just ask all the dogs and babies we're not allowed to keep in cars without ventilating the windows when it's sunny.
"Don't drink and drive!" ... lets make a beer cooler and hodler in the fronk!
I don't think there is any waisted space in the id.4, the distance between the windshield and the front of the car is just one frunk length shorter than the mustang Mach-e. They made the hood shorter and increased the size of the cabin and trunk by doing so. What Tesla and Ford do they essentially divide the storage space of the car into 2 parts, while you can just move the cabin forward eliminate the frunk and have all of the storage in the trunk area where its more convenient to use
The front hood is also quite high on the ID.4, so honestly loading stuff in there wouldn't be very easy for a smaller person. Especially if you don't want to scratch the paint.
Bonkers product team puts nice hood lifts and then aggressive snap fits hiding fluid containers and battery connections that people will need access to.
Add a drain for alcoholics in the center cup holder. Greatest car ever made :)
Drilling a hole in the frunk is certainly a technological breakthrough. Amazing use of a hole, those Ford guys are mighty sharp, what will they think of next! Maybe they should work on snap fasteners that don't fail on the first use. The next generation of sophistication in cold drink management is to use a cooler in the frunk like a Tesla because the ice will last all day and you can carry the entire contents easily to a convenient spot. Your friends won't make fun of your peeing car.
It's a Brunk! I just Trademarked it.👍
Hehe, thanks god I don't drink, no dilemma for me;)
