Thanks Rusty
Some race/drag/performance vehicle go with fiberglass/carbon fiber/lexan(window) combination for door panels.
Toyota has invested in a carbon fiber loom and plant they did a some concept vehicles.
Toyota like Ford are going to lightweight body panels and going with more aluminum mfg capacity. I believe almost all of the Tesla vehicle is aluminum majority aluminum content.
In seeking lighter body panels I found on the web.
