Here are a few short articles (< 2 pages each) I found informative/interesting.
StarShip construction shifted to Stainless Steel (stared as Carbon Fiber - used by Falcon series of rockets)
- What’s the Difference Between Grade 304 and 304L Stainless Steel? I think SpaceX considering
- Cybertruck Review: Elon, You Are Wrong About Forming Stainless Steel | StampingSimulation part 1
- Tesla Cybertruck Myths and Flaws: Part 2 | StampingSimulation

[side note: we also have Surmet - Global leader in Transparent Ceramics Manufacturing | ALON® - Aluminum Oxynitride | Magnesium Aluminate Spinel | Lightweight Transparent Armor | Infrared Optics for ALON® Optical Ceramic is an extremely durable crystalline material with excellent optical transparency - which MIGHT be what prototype CyberTruck windows are made of. Would Tesla try to come up with their own formulation?
