The EV auto space has grown from its persona back in the early 2000s as a niche market. While market space is still dwarfed by ICE vehicles, its rise in popularity is evident in online communities by both owners and "admirers" who believe that this is the next best thing since sliced bread. The next step in its rise has been a shift in political agenda overnight to align from EVs are still not ready for primetime to we must save the future so ban ICEV. As admiration from the common public and political leaders has been on the rise, a lot of online personalities have sprouted in the social space. Most seem like another online community opinion converted and edited into video with snappy transitions and selective data presentations, but there are some industry folks who seemed to have recognized and utilized this opportunity to market themselves and their company. One such folk is Lean Designs and Sandy Munro.
Sandy seems to optically reverberate with admirers and critics alike. Sandy came into the public space with various teardowns of the initial EV wave in the form of i3s, tesla models. His opinion in those teardowns are what the common viewship likes to hear since rarely due mfg pressers go into such details. A common observation has been that the rougher and rawer the opinion the more honest it feels like to the end viewer and he has stayed with this. His opinion also has changed to reflect improvements in vehicle development processes. He has met with Elon Musk and shared his views about the biggest setbacks in vehicle development such as MBAs and design teams not communicating from the start. He recently called out NHTSA and governmental overreach in auto industry development/tesla autopilot. His most recent and purpose of this thread is an upcoming video that entails forecasting which OEMs will exist, shrink, and became ancient history.
