They test and select components like tires based on computer models???

As a former 4xe owner, this does not surprise me.

That's pretty cool. A lot can be determined with today's simulations, though some things they just need to get outside their mom's (Stellantis) basement and see some sunlight to test. From a Jeep perspective, one area they really need to look at is braking. Geezo, it's 2026 and compared to virtually every other vehicle I've owned the brakes are just weak as all get-out for the weight.

Wow as interesting as i usually find these type of videos, the production and editing of this video feels like it was made in the ‘90s.
Especially egregious is the beginning battery testing section. Video of people talking but all voices drowned out by the factory floor noise.
i thought this was a parody of corporate videos at first.

I lol'd at the comment about making the star connector angry.

I’d like to sneak in there at night, crank up those pistons and find out what really happens on the (off)road.
