Tesla just seems to have simpler and better designed vehicles. There are fewer bottlenecks because there is just less stuff in the car.

Check out the teardown of the Mach-E Thermal System by Sandy Munro for example:

The ICE vehicle business model is to treat spare parts and servicing as a profit centre... vehicle designs reflect that.

That video stopped me from putting down a deposit on a Mach-E. Gonna WFH and see how that cooling system pans out over a year or so.

Will that same system be on the electric F-150?
