Summary

Want to understand cars better? This is the show. David Twohig is an automotive engineer, journalist, and author. He was an engineering lead for the Nissan Qashqai, Alpine A110, Renault Zoe, and BYTON. On this episode he explains why cars are so hard to build; why focusing on weight isn't the priority of most OEMs; how expensive it is to change a button; the rising popularity of '90s Japanese cars in Europe; and so much more. His book, "Inside the Machine: An Engineer’s Tale of the Modern Automotive Industry" is a great insight into how difficult it is to build a car. The book gives some insight into why car companies do what they do and make the decisions they make. If you've ever asked "Why did they do that?" this book might give you some understanding. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/59522165 https://www.the-intercooler.com/library/writers/david-twohig/ https://www.cargroup.org/person/david-twohig/ Recorded May 26, 2023 Head to https://www.factormeals.com/tire50 and use code tire50 to get 50% off your first box Get 20% OFF with our code TIRE at https://www.calderalab.com/TIRE to unlock your youthful glow and be ready for summer with Caldera + Lab! #teamcaldera #ad Go to https://www.birddogs.com/tire and enter promo code TIRE for a free Yeti style tumbler with your order.
