I thought that was the case, but having seen a few in-depth video reviews there still seems to be plenty of fat that they easily could have trimmed without anyone caring. E.g. the charge port cover can be opened electronically; why? It seems pointless to me, since you have to get out of the car to plug the charger in anyway.
