Carl is a fantastic teacher. He's got the knack for explaining complex design decisions. Thanks!

[dougdority]

As an engineer, This is why I watch Munro

[human_brian]

I love seeing a video with Carl. He's so informative and well spoken. He explains pretty complex processes in a very understandable way.

Working for Honda for over 25 years doing new model development, this is exactly the thought process we go through for every new model. It's good to let the public know all the hard work and thought that goes into the automotive business.

Top tier tour and explanation of design and processes. Smart guy.

Ah Carl! Great job explaining design tradeoffs. This is probably the best advertising for bringing in customers for lean design training at Munro. And very informative for us engineer geeks! Thank you!!!

@21:32 this is such a key insight, and one that applies in many industries and endeavors. It's something I see all the time in my job (software engineering): designing a system that works is easy enough. But keeping it simple, efficient, and flexible enough that you can re-use it and update it later, that's hard work. It takes a lot of thinking and experience. On the outside it will look obvious and intuitive and elegant, but to get there is rarely straightforward or easy.

Carl has a wonderful talent for sharing and comparing the logic behind manufactured articles. Fantastic!

[eddiegardner]

Carl points out every detail, and the details within the details. He knows his stuff, and it shows.

Carl does a great job explaining complex parts and processes, and how the automotive industry works in general. All from looking at a component or sub-assembly. He breaks it down with simple and clear explanations, and always is a joy to watch. Thanks Munro!

[rosskirkwood]

Carl is a gem. Thank you. Thorough, insightful and honest.

[ryandoyle]

Love these interior reviews! Carl always knocks it out of the park.

A++ Carl, another excellent nerd level 9000 video! Keep them coming!

An exceptionally educational and informative summary by Carl, I liked the Taco Bell reference with respect to door linings. The Kia front door lining car is really well thought out and implemented. I hope that the window actuator cable is stainless steel as when corroded window cables snap they are an expensive repair. The Cyber truck has no framing to the doors and so the extended steel window guides are perhaps a necessity to maintain alignment of the glass.

Love these tear downs. I have an inside view of nearly every inch of my EV9!

Using this one to try and decide if undercoating and the mess and problems that come from that are worth it over more conscientious washing and underbody spraying.

Thanks for another really great video. I love your insights. Cheers

[Bobjoneshapu]

Carl is the best at Monroe for explaining automotive engineering. Sandy and the team are lucky to have him on board.

THANKS CARL AND MUNRO 🤗 FOR SHARING THIS 💚💚💚

[grizzlymartin]

Way cool. Learning so much. I happen to own a Kia EV9. So especially attractive subject for me naturally.
The way you guys teach so well reinforces my saying from years ago: “Never impose today upon tomorrow, it never works…never!” -GM

Oh Boy. That Door Handle is Humongous. Great cover Carl.
