I wish. It rained all day today and so very little work got done.
Builders went fishing.
Apparently you can fish in the rain but not build a shed in the rain.

I have now watched Part 1 & Part 2.
Regardless of if you like or dislike what was said I think you must agree that he was honest.
I wonder how many companies marketing departments would allow engineering to speak to a reporter???
Once again I also note the difference between a technical reporter and a YouTube influencer.

Apparently I am occasionally a Patreon member. Didn't have access to Part 1 but Part 2 no problem.

Pepper seems obsessed about the weight carrying capacity versus a Ranger sized pickup.
If you have ever loaded one of those near it's stated maximum you have less than 5mm of suspension travel. Fine on the roads, not fine for anything else.

He owns a Ranger so that could be the reason.

All these smart engineers and decades or vehicle design experience - still put a RHF footrest in my car about the same size as a 2L milk bottle...

Makes sense.

You have the feeling that Pepper would prefer a plastic panelled 2 litre hybrid with independent suspension all around, so I guess he owns some sort of Discovery as well as Ranger.

Yes, but he explained why and you could see by the look on his face he wasn't happy about it.

I joined his YouTube channel to watch Part 2, as it's member's only access. I discovered some other interviews with (I assume) Justin Hocevar (sp?), Watching Pt.2 now. Anxiously awaiting 3 & 4. Very interesting info, and worth the $3 to join.

After 17K kms it is by far the worst flaw in the vehicle. I wonder if they will fix this in version 2 releases...

They would need to get BMW to redesign the engine exhaust or reposition the engine mounting.
