Beautiful car but from an EV standpoint it is disappointing. 238 mile range? Please...
Sandy Munro has been disassembling EVs and comparing them against each other.
The Tesla Model 3 has a smaller battery and better drivetrain efficiency.
Better engineering results in far more range and shorter charge times.
As far as handling and performance, these cars pale in comparison to the performance Teslas.
Fit and finish is, of course, stellar in these cars. Tesla has improved but build quality is the Germans forte.

look at the smugness stating the obvious... he's said we'll get to 50%+ ev production by 2030, and now 2028 yet he's included hybrids in there too... so, duh...
as he says "you heard it here first" - year right sandy.

Munro tear down videos are excellent plus the guy has been in the auto biz for decades companies pay his firm top dollar consulting fees.

sandy munro is an egotistical attention ***** with a hitler moustache who refers to his fans as 'boys and girls'. he's the scotty kilmer of EVs.

Sandy Munro is highly respected in the auto analysis business, mustache and all. Manufacturers pay his company big bucks for his recommendations. Can you name another anywhere close to him?

Sandy routinely says good things about Tesla, better compare him to hitler.
Still haven't warmed to the looks of the GT something off about it. Could be far worse and I see how some really like it.

He loves to say over and over "when i worked at ford..." but it looks like he left in 1988, 33 years ago... so not relevant. His 'tear down' business is neat, and can save companies time and money for sure, getting an outside thorough assessment. Being an analyst of what's being done by actual current engineers is different than being an actual current auto engineer, but not saying the guy's a fool, he's not, i just find his persona revolting.

If the guy's so busy with auto makers, why is he on youtube so much, and man are his videos boring, especially since the guy rarely ever smiles.
