> Despite claiming otherwise on their homepage (archive.org still has it) they did attach equipmwnt directly to the carbon hull on the inside by screwing (!) to the hull. Result, all the fibers cut by the screws don't take any load whatsoever anymore, increased risk of delaminations (the hull is compressed, the screw on the inside isn't)
I've seen this claim repeated over and over with this single photo [0] with a display mount circled.
It was immediately obvious to me that the pattern of lights on the roof in that photo isn't coming through the 5" hull, but that the monitor is instead screwed into a liner of some sort. Additional evidence [1] seems to agree.
