Thanks for sharing the video, these cars are amazing. When I visited Pete Gruber last month and got a tour of his shop he showed me several wrecked Roadsters which he has purchased for parts. The amazing thing is how the frame parts are connected with glue (the orange you see in your video at points of connection on the frame), which turns out in some of the cars he showed me the joint was intact but the metal had failed just a few inches away.The video walkthrough about the structural integrity of #1384 that @CM_007 posted got picked up by InsideEVs...

A really cool video everyone should check out is the making of the Elise. It talks in depth about how the chassis is extruded and the process developed to not have to weld anything but the rear subframe.Thanks for sharing the video, these cars are amazing.

Interesting idea! I’ll at least email them to check.@chadconway maybe you should see if Tesla will sell the battery pack outta this car now that it's in their possession....
