In a story by AutoGuide.com, Craig Cole dives into the one reason ‘no one talks about’ behind Tesla’s success: aluminum extrusions. In the article, Cole states, “Building vehicles out of aluminum extrusions can result in a strong, lighter product and, oddly enough, one that’s simpler as well. The flexibility of extrusion allows multiple components to be consolidated into single pieces, cutting mass, time and ultimately saving money.”
