Wait, they're made of stainless fucking steel? That's so stupid it's beyond words, why not just paint the damn things to look like stainless steel?
I think the original idea was the stainless steel would provide a rigid exoskeleton so the vehicle could save weight/space on internal structural support, but in the end they still needed similar internal structural supports so the insistence to retain the uselessly heavy/expensive steel panels was probably one of Elon's classic strokes of genius.
It’s hard being a misunderstood genius. Especially if the part that’s misunderstood is that you possess virtually no genius.
