Video: Cybercab engineer talks design, features, new "Unboxed" production process

Why? They are probably not producing more cars per hour, and I'm betting they aren't using less parts than a Model T either.

Why do you think they are not using less parts? The Model T had over 10,000 parts. I doubt the robotaxi will have anywhere near that many.

So does a Model 3.

The Cybercab and Model 3 are completely different vehicles.

The Cybercab and Model 3 are completely different vehicles.

So, what has that to do with Henry Ford and the Model T, also a completely different vehicle?

Of couse, unlike the Cybercab, the Model 3 and the Model T have both been successfully mass produced, on production lines.

You are the one that brought it up. Ask yourself.

 

[ABILISK]

Love that we’re comparing CC to a Model T. Henry Ford would have a massive migraine if he were alive today to see how far cars have come.

No, I am not the one who brought Henry Ford into this discussion.

Nice deflection there. Not germaine to the conversation, but why would that matter.

Technically you did not initiate the thought of what Henry Ford would be thinking.... That was @RandyS. But the exchange between you and I was entirely about number of parts. Not Henry Ford himself. You are the one that initiated the parts count comparison.

I've got no opinion on what Henry Ford would think. Henry Ford hasn't had any measurable brain activity related to thought patterns in quite some time.

On the topic of part counts though, I see that Munro has a video about this very topic today:

My response to RandyS referred to his comment on PATEL's post of the traditional vs. unboxed process. If Henry Ford would be smiling over that it would be because he would see more than 100 years later what he implemented still in use and a Model 3 having a similar number of parts to his Model T. He would not see any Cybercabs being mass produced in an imagined unboxed process.

Honestly, my comment about Henry Ford was really related to how far we've come in 100 years with cars that can drive themselves and all the associated tech that goes along with that. it wasn't about assembly lines, parts counts, etc. That's all, nothing more than that. Maybe that wasn't clear, but all of this other discussion is not what i meant at all...
