Mini Cooper SE- Electric | Undercarriage 

Jordan is very impressive, can see why he's been with the Company 10 years

Jordan is a natural, looking forward to seeing more of him on camera!

Jordan would make a great regular Munro LIVE host/cast member. He's got the Hollywood stuff!

Well done Jordan for your first on-screen appearance. Also a very informative discussion between the 2 - i think that instead of becoming an economist I should have studied engineering, watching those videos at least makes me feel like one :D

I'm impressed with Jordan. Let's see him some more.

Please have Jordan featured more on this channel. I suspect a lot of us are really wishing we could get more actual technical design comparisons between EVs.

Bringing on different hosts is much appreciated, they all did a great job.

We need a final Munro score for each EV you tested of all the various exterior/interior subsystems

This looks like the definition of a half ass Ev conversion job. I was expecting Mini/BMW to do a better job but they clearly did not. Great review guys !

Jordan is good on camera. So funny to finally see him after Sandy mentions him so much on video 😁👊🏼

High voltage cables are done the same way in the $130k Tesla Model S Plaid. Check around 7:30 in the Rich Rebuilds video. And that is a clean-sheet EV.

Rather surprised to see the high voltage cables not exactly looking well attached or that safe even.

Jordan was very informative and charismatic on camera. Would like to see him in more videos.Great Job

Jordan is a very nice guy. Humble, smart, and informative! Thanks for bringing him on, Cory! This channel is awesome

Those high voltage lines zip tied to the undercarriage is insane. Can't wait to see the BMW apologists explain why it's properly engineered this way.

Very good video. Jordan presents and speaks really well.

Personally, Sandy is always fun, but you are doing amazing work in every video. It's great to see some industrial-level engineering on RU-vid and not only the "backyard" things, which-don't get me wrong-are also fun, but this is the real deal.

I'd like to see Jordan more! I loved the way he explained things, how technical but thorough he was.

Check out the inside EV Mini Cooper SE walk around video. It definitely shows the protection for the wiring and undercarriage that was removed for this much more technical video.

It’s always nice to see some of the other team members. Jordan did an outstanding job. Keep up the great work! I look forward to Munro live every time it is available and have learned so much. Thank you

Great to see new people from behind the scene. Great work, thank you!

Great job Jordan, clearly you know about that of which you talk. Mini looks very messy, not a ground up design, and typical of legacy OEM's.

Thanks Jordan for your efforts offscreen thus far (and onscreen here)! Really good insights. 👍

Gives the impression of being more of a family, than a team & certainly not just an employer/employee relationship. Many of the staff seem to have been with Munro for many years (10+), that's a great advertisement right there. Well done & good luck to ALL.

Jordan is another asset in front of the camera, knowledgable & natural. (IMO) Now what halfwit at BM thought that they could allow this so called Mini out onto the public roads with high power cabling routed like that (?) No doubt the same halfwit that signed off the BM engine where the timing chain is at the other end of the engine, the clutch end!

Jordan is a natural. So relaxed and knowledgeable. Use him more. Was shocked to see those HV cables loosely mounted underneath. There's a serious problem waiting.

We are really getting a unique insight into Munro via the introduction of some of the behind the scenes folks....100 people on staff and open requisitions to boot....this is quite an operation. Looking forward to seeing Cory dig into that Sub-Zero refrig some more.

I like Jordan. Competent guy. Explains well.

Jordon is really on top of things.

Can't believe the exposed high voltage cables. You could rip them off going over a curb. Jordan is a natural. Very informative. Hope he gets more air time. Cheers.

Those exposed high voltage cables are a disaster in the making. I'm sure BMW will check these comments and realize notice has been served on that score.

Thank you all for bringing us all these insights. Great to see a passionated and committed team!

Well done Jordan! I was surprised the undercarriage was still so “ICE”. I suspect there were economies of scale but having a clean sheet of paper in this area would seem to make things easier in the long run I.e. suspension change needed for the lower CG or increased weight impacts to correct for ride; effort to shoehorn into limits of ICE chassis compared to purpose built etc, It would be nice to know if there was a “rule of thumb” on the potential weight savings if a new under carriage could employed. Great job as always, and while all miss Sandy, it is great to understand the real team that makes lean design work.

Terrific! It’s so great to see those people who work “behind the curtain,” so to speak. As was said, this is a team effort at Munro, and these videos are a great way to illustrate that.

Thanks, Jordan - you know a lot and we appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!

Nice to see the face behind the bullet points! Great job!!!

Great job Jordan, super knowledgeable.

Once again Munro & Associates thanks to Corey Steuben for bringing out Mr Jordan Arocha allowing him to display to all of us the best that the company has to offer and shows us all that forward thinking in the workplace is something Munro at it's core believe in promoting the talent of their employee's. Thanks again Corey, for pointing out the cabling on this EV. All I can comment is THANK GOD that BMW are not touting this as an off road capable vehicle!! Lord help anyone that snags one of those under body High Voltage Cables even under normal driving. It is great that Sandy exhibits this much trust in delegating his workload, Hope that Sandy is having a fun time moving and taking some time off from the Grueling Schedule his new found fame has thrust upon him.. It is awesome that Corey steps up and takes charge which is exciting to see. Wish that all company President's took this as seriously as he does.

Very *Educational.* Thank's guys.

Great work Cory and Jordan, its nice to see different presenters.

Great job, Jordan! Keep it up and thanks for all your work.

Great to see more of the team. Sandy and the team are amazing

Always great content, and great people

Good presentation. Both working together well.

I love Sandy but you guys and the other "new" faces have been so great and informative! Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together!

Everyone at Munro is worth listening to and learning from. The team players are what makes the Associates part of Munro so stand out. Sandy is a favorite, but his team shows up to shine even when he isn't around. I hope your new hires compliment and help expand the great work you guys do there.

I think its worth mentioning in the video or comments that you removed the undercarriage protection guys, a lot of people in the comments seem to think the car is made with exposed components like in the video 🙄

Excellent video work and commentary

Cory/Jordan Nicely Done! Looking forward for more content, Learning a Lot about EV's

Nice to hear from some of those behind the scenes that make things happen. You obviously have a great team.

This one was really well presented. Lots of great facts and I don't think I heard the "T" word even once! How refreshing!

Wouldn't mini owners like that this is basically a factory made EV conversion without changing the car much? People have been paying big bucks for EV conversions on niche vehicles. I would say shared platforms works for lower volume niche cars. The people who want minis can get a solid EV conversion with this for dirt cheap. The car costs $23,250 after the federal tax credit and under $20k if you live in a state with additional incentives. If you fit and like mini's this is a nice daily driver as 100mi of range should be good for nearly all daily commutes.

Corey, you do a great job! Getting other members of the Munro team involved shows the depth of staff beyond Sandy. No diss on Sandy, I enjoy his frank and honest comments.

Nice walk-through 👍

why has Munro Live been so enjoyable this week?

High voltage lines mounted with freaking tie wraps!!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍

Thanks Jordan!

"Quick, the boss is coming, let's slap together a car with whatever we have in the shop!"

Another great video.

I had been considering one of these but thanks to you putting it in the air what I saw especially regarding the routing of the high voltage wires and cobbled together battery assembly there is no way. They shortcutted major critical items, what did they shortcut you cannot see....thanks again guys.

Extra interesting segment.

Please mention the belly pan in the next video. Went looked at mine and was very happy to see the pan.

nice thanks for the info! great

Very good idea to introduce characters. The content is most important

Great, seeing new faces. Well done!

Still teasing us with the ID.4 in the background! Looking forward to those videos! (currently have a reservation on an id4 awd)

Gigantic cooling lines. Good for 150kw of heat.

Great video guys.

Jordan and Cory are such a great duo! So competent

Great video! Always nice to see new faces. Explanation of acronyms would help us laymen.

This really looks slapped together. I was hoping Mini would take EVs seriously....Smart to use existing infrastructure (ICE vehicle conversion) to save some money on this but....just seems like a hack job.

Always interesting. I have watched and enjoyed many of Muro's videos . He does not dumb down to us too much and seldom uses acronyms without explaining them. In the space of a few minutes I counted 7 in this video None of which I understood. EPDM, ED, MDH, EVE, PT, EAC, MBP? I know this is how pros talk, but if you want us laymen to watch, please use words. As an attorney, I always tried to under my audience and speak accordingly. I do appreciate the work that goes into the videos. thanks

Thanks for making us smarter

🤗 THANKS CORY AND JORDAN FOR SHARING THIS WITH US AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU MORE 👍 And we keep tipping the cashiers 😉😍😍😍

Can't wait for your guys tear down of the Lucid! 😃

Good job !!!

4:20 surprised he's mistaking torx fasteners for triple-square. Great take on this car, guys!

Way to go buddy!

Well done... 👍

Really great to see the other team members too! When only Sandy is presenting, it feels like he is being pressed too hard and could easily step back, take a well-earned breather and let his well chosen younger colleagues do a round or two - like the current one!

I'm assuming they neglected to mention that there are black plastic covers that have already been removed so the undercarriage can be seen. Those covers are probably what you see at the very beginning of the video, flanking the vehicle lift.

Thank you!

Very glad to see the team that makes Munro live. But Sandy still has the X-factor.

Excellent Jordan/Cory. Those cables are a weak link.

More concise than some of Sandy's presentations. Well done.

It's really great to see ppl who have knowledge, understating and can speak on facts on the topic. Jordan has the hallmarks of a great presenter, . In this case, it's interesting to see how haphazard the mini EV design appears. I believe the Mini EV was available before the BMW i3, so this is likely a compliance model to bridge the gap.

It appears that most viewers of this video, who are mistakenly ranting about this being "bodged", "slapped together", or dangerous do not realize that the HV cables are completely covered by a full body length underbelly pan (removed prior to shooting video), that actually provides a smoother and more aerodynamic underbelly than the ICE mini. The HV cables are in fact not directly exposed to the outside, as most seem to believe. I think it would have been more accurate to provide viewers a look at the actual underside without the underbelly pan removed, rather than to simply point out the location of the HV cables as a negative without context. It would have also been more accurate and contextualized to point out that other BEV's, such as Tesla, route cabling in the exact same manner on the underside.

That guy looked like an intern but he confidently showed that he knows his stuff. It's fascinating to see how much EVs are built so differently: something as simple--compared to ICE--as a battery pack and a motor or two has a wide variety of implementations.

Well done review and insight. I’m assuming that I saw mounting points for a cover panel at the front and rear that I don’t remember being mentioned. Especially in lieu of the fact that the high voltage lines are so exposed!

Love everything you folks do and I view everything you publish. Can I ask for just one favor? please make sure your lens is clean before recording? your recording does have a bit of soft look due to a bit of oil on the lens.

Nice. Very condensed and focussed. sadly.we don't have such a channel in Germany.

Rear cradle of the newest 5 and i believe 3 series are solid mounted to the body. (At least on the M models that i know of) It’s been a thing for a bit. But yes traditionally they are rubber isolated. Also yeah i noticed those lines are quite exposed and it seems they’re held on by plastic zip ties. I’d hope those don’t get brittle over time leaving those lines hanging down.

Hmmm, those exposed high voltage cables would concern me, as well as the "prehistoric" rear suspension; shades of the Kia N-eye-ro!! Nice job guys!!

I love you adding new people. Each has a slightly different approach. Admittedly, I’m a Ben fanboy, though.

I’ve suggested this vehicle to a lot of people who don’t want a Tesla and do want a vehicle that is more entry level in price I think this vehicle could work for the person who is retired or only has a moderately long commute. It’s super interesting to see how these compliance cars are built versus a pure electric from the ground up. It looks like there’s a lot of compromise with these converted versions of the main stream vehicle however, it really seems like there is a lot of room for opportunity to use old designs if they could just re-package them more efficiently.

good stuff

So cool to see different folks from the company. If you ever become more of a media machine, I'd recommend splitting into scheduled programs similar to donut media, Munroe Monday, fridge analysis Friday, and so on :) would be great

The positioning of the "high" voltage cables is so scary 🤯 ... and Cory just says, it's the lowest they've seen and moves on 🤷‍♂️

This is a nice touch. It is good to see that Manro has a deep bench of talent like Jordan. It speaks well of the company and it demonstrates that Sandy and the top management are focused on developing the talent within the firm. Nice going Jordan, hope to see more of you. On another note, thus far I am not too impressed with the Mini. Looks more like a conversion from an ICE vehicle to an electric one.
