You also must consider reputation risk. How will the 6.2 impact GM for the next 5-10 years?

I think an interesting example of this is the plastic worm gear on kitchenaids. the gear wears out faster than the old metal ones but it prevents wear in other places the mixer

perhaps do a video on the over-use of plastic when metal would be a preferred design material

I am not an engineer. I should have gone into this field. Instead I am doing adjacent things with engineers. I absolutely love your videos! They are so helpful and informative, often for things I was unaware I needed/wanted to know. You have a special gift linguistically. You make it a breeze for me to learn, even with my learning curve. I think the world of you! Keep it coming!

Its a delima. Most investors need lower cost fast manufacturing. Its this balance we need to acheive to to stay on the job.

This is so interesting! I'm a digital service designer but this principle is absolutely transferrable and I'm going to keep this in mind with my designs.

The problem is that to get a good lean design actually requires time and money which many clients do not want to spend. My tactic was to ask the cost engineers what were the three most costly line items, both in time and money and then asked the client “would you like me to design the hell out of these?” Pick your battles.

I find your videos informative but I wonder we dobt see automotive engineers speaking like you? The quality of new automobiles is absolutely a joke. Large repair bills when one pays 60k plus for new garbage cars and trucks.

I suffer from farmer engineering, where you don't care how heavy it is (in some cases heavy is the goal) or how it looks, Its was always over built, and generally designed and built based on materials laying around the yard. design modifications were generally done on the fly in the field

In my parenting instead of "padding everything out of fear" lest they fail, i try to add "padding" only where it matters. I am not an engineer but I liked how you said it.
