Spot welds. Like an old VW bus.
The arthropod structure has all the mass at the outer surface. In any collision it will deform less and protect the lighter structure that forms the door sills and partitions.
My understanding is that the structure is two triangular trusses with double longitudinal bulkheads forming the inner and outer walls of the four wheel wells. The rest is lighter construction.
Hell for stout.
