some things i want to highlight for Zoltan is what he implies multiple times.
he acknowledges the ICE and body and other parts are a starting point.

the body is meant to create a mold. therefore the materials used in the final body will be very different, but the exterior aesthetics of the shell will be identical.

i don't know if the Suzuki ICE in this car is still mass-produced, but the engine could be a very different one, but still utilize many concepts for improved efficiency. -- he said the suzuki was "a good starting point".

so, reading between the lines. there are many things that can change within the first actual car extracted from the mold, but utilize the FE concepts that the other mousetraps are not using.

what i just wrote could be over-gerneralized, but i think some of these discussions are too much focused on what was only visualized in the video.
i'm just writing a summary so Zoltan doesn't have to repeat himself so much.

Zoltan, i do expect you to correct me if I'm wrong.
