Sandy Munro Evaluates the Engineering behind the latest 2021 Tesla Model 3

In his down-to-earth yet comprehensive way, Chief Executive Officer Sandy Munro of Munro and Associates has purchased a 2021 Tesla model 3, and proceeded to look under the skin to show us the engineering improvements from the company.

Munro looks at the front trunk or “frunk”, and demonstrates big improvements in design, moulding shape and in the plenum intake. He also takes a look at the company’s improvements in terms of cost savings on unnecessary clips and plastic pieces, and he seems impressed with Tesla’s Octovalve, now named “super manifold”, and overall, in terms of the engineering at least, Munro says that he can’t find any fault under the body panels, and that Tesla’s design and build of core components is excellent.

It’s not all roses and sunshine however, as even on this latest iteration of the Model 3, Sandy Munro finds inconsistency in panel gaps from one side of the vehicle to the other. For all the advanced engineering in the Model 3, Sandy remarks that consistency in production quality is something that Tesla should be able to easily achieve, so why are cars still having issues?
