Number 3 is unbelievably wrong. I think he got his ideas from 90s GM concept brochures and never bothered to dig deeper. Yes, conceptually the "skateboard" makes sense, but you're not going to have actual snap-in components like that. By Tesla's own admission, thinking of the Model X as just another body on top of the Model S skateboard set them back a long time. Whether you choose to go the traditional unibody design, or a more unconventional exoskeleton design like the cybertruck, each body is specifically made for each model type. While the Model Y is a "jacked up" model 3, the body is a completely new and different thing.
