Tesla is alone in choosing aluminium, while the rest of the industry goes with steel.
The engine block is the heaviest part in an ICE vehicle, but it's usually made of grey iron, and not really steel, with German cars some times using silicon-aluminium, or much rarely magnesium alloy.
- speedgoose 5y agoNot alone. The BMW i3 has an aluminum frame. The Tesla model 3 and model y are steel by the way.
- sidewndr46 5y agoI don't know how you come to this conclusion, but the engine block in a modern passenger car is definitely not the heaviest part. The engine block itself is often incredibly light, even a V8 made from cast iron would only be a few hundred pounds. The body (or unibody) of any modern car is far heavier, given that it has so many functions and safety features as part of its design.
