I hadn't heard about 3mm SS body panels. 3mm is nearly an eighth of an inch. The body alone would be horrendously heavy. I hope those panels are load bearing.
That was my first thought. And then I recall Elon saying this is the same Space X materials Tesla is using. And in spacecraft, having lightweight materials is a must.
