📌The Model S body and chassis are built almost entirely from aluminum. This includes doors, hood, fenders, quarter panels, trunk, and most exterior panels.

Structural reinforcement points use boron steel.

And what would that policy be? So many options!

🚗💨 The Blazer EV’s body structure blends high‑strength steels, a structurally integrated battery tray, and advanced load‑management pathways to deliver serious crash performance and stiffness. GM’s BEV3 architecture uses a mix of AHSS, Gen3 steels, and reinforced rails to control front, rear, and side impacts while keeping the battery protected and the cabin stable.

Its battery enclosure and cradle system act as part of the load path, transferring crash energy through ski rails, shear plates, and reinforced attachment points. The result is a crossover EV engineered for torsional stiffness, reduced intrusion, and optimized safety performance, earning MotorTrend’s SUV of the Year by design.

🚘 Something different. Automakers are looking at “Campfire” seating in vehicles. The GV90 Neolun’s seating configuration centers on a VIP four‑seat lounge layout with swiveling front seats, reclining second‑row thrones, and heated real‑wood floors, all showcased through its B‑pillar‑less Neolun Arch Gate coach doors

Bigger spreaders offer a wider opening distance and higher maximum force, while smaller spreaders are lighter and easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

🚒 Think you know what you’re cutting on a Tesla Model Y? Take a closer look at the body structure. ⚠️

This Tesla Model Y body structure gives firefighters and rescue technicians a closer look at the components they may encounter during EV extrication—including structural members, Ultra high-strength materials, and reinforcement areas.🔥🚗

👀 Look closely at the structure in this image. What stands out as something Telsa did different?

Yesterday I posted a picture of a hem fl**ge without and adhesives and sealants. Today’s covers the adhesives.

Hem fl**ge adhesives and sealants bond and seal the folded metal edges of automotive closure panels like car doors, hoods, and tailgates. They replace or back up welds, increase structural rigidity, prevent anti-flutter, and block rust.
