So they ARE using carbon for the body then? I thought it was going to be pretty much all FG.

Whatever is most expensive, least particle and hardest to work with is what they will use.

Glad to see that CF is core to the build. Done properly, it offers pretty amazing crash protection. I don't believe it will be a huge influence on production cost or pricing in the end.

Well their website calculator for savings is clearly needing work. (My car gets about 3.5 mi/kWh.)

It looks like it doesn't even use that for their calculated savings, which doesn't make sense, as it would help the numbers.

They should use one or two layers of Basalt to hold all that CF together in the case of a crash.

Can basalt fiber bridge the gap between glass and carbon?
According to the Fraunhofer report, the basalt composite showed a specific strength 40% higher than E-glass, and a specific stiffness 20% higher than the glass composite. Basalt could be a good choice for applications needing higher performance than glass, but where the cost of carbon can't be justified.

It deforms instead of shattering like Carbon fiber.
