I found this short video of Sandy Munro looking mostly at the rear suspension of the Mach-E interesting. Mostly I found myself thinking how exposed all that structure, especially the battery, is to any old FOD lying on the road and thrown up by a wheel passing over it. It makes me appreciate the robust protection that I think the under armor of the Rivians will offer.

Curious, do you work at an airport?

looks like there is a panel pulled in the video to show the parts you can see where the panel would attach to other pieces. not saying that panel wouldn't be just the standard crappy ford cardboard with carpet felt.

Sandy has said he wants to or will do a tear down of both a R1T and Cybertruck. Can’t wait for both. I’m especially interested to see the R1T’s motors, battery pack, & HVAC.

Sandy is a National Treasure. I love catching his videos and occasional interviews around the internet and print. No better way to learn about a vehicle than to have an Automotive Surgeon test it and dissect it.
