Agree that this article really didn't deliver on its headline, as we're still in the dark about how the measures mentioned will lead to lightweighting (not that they won't do it, just the article doesn't deliver). The first thing that concerns me about this layout is that it looks like the "Chest Layout" with the batteries mid-mounted in that tall trapezoidal shape will significantly raise the center of mass. I've found that this almost inevitably results in worse handling performance, unless offset. Of course, if this somehow achieves far lighter overall weight than a "Skateboard" layout, it could still be a winning design (but we don't know that yet).
