Aren't the other panels all attached to the body externally? I wonder if they're painted on a carrier jig and then attached to the car.
This is exactly what I was imagining for the paint process. Just guessing here, but the door skins may be attachable to the mechanical structure of the door in a way that's new for this car as well, which would make the body paint process still reasonable in the way that they've described it (with the door operated by robot). Cars with full black pack might be entirely black under the body panels, while the single color cars might be entirely a single body color but painted separately (body and roof vs attachable panels) to keep the process the same.
But if we can't vent on here, where can we vent? Do you expect me to talk to my girlfriend about this?

These two articles give a good overview:
Cheers, helpful as always. Glad that they're still aiming for lightness in the heavy EV era. Weight is my chief complaint with all the options out there right now.
I posted this on another thread but thought it was worth a thread of its own. Interesting article about the new factory at Hethel to build the Emira, supporting production of nearly 5000 cars a year.
