Body panels - are pre-production units 3d printed

[skidoofast]

Do you think Slate already has the body panel molds or are the pre production panels 3d printed?

also, I wonder if the inner door frame is steel or composite

To get the 5-star rating, I think the door frames need to be steel.

Body panels are probably vacuum or pressure formed. Not particularly complex so the tooling is relatively cheap. Less than $5K each panel style.
