Look - "not body-on-frame design" is called unibody construction. I said this above. It's not new. Have I done any research? I did enough to discover that nobody knows whether it's welded or bonded, so I said

    The way you used to get the strength out of a monocoque structure was by welding it; nowadays you might bond it instead. Either way, I don't have to "imagine" what replacing them would be like; I've done unibody work and it's destructive and time consuming.

Fundamentally: you have hopes. I have experiences. My experiences make me pessimistic about the Tesla Cybertruck. Your hopes make you optimistic. THAT'S FINE. But I don't understand what makes you feel entitled to beat my experiences over the head with your hopes. I mean, I've known three people with DeLoreans. Two of 'em make inquiries about painting 'em. All I can say is what I know.

Apparently I'm not supposed to do that.
