[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1913960, member: 20286"] Just think of one door. The window and all of it's parts, the mirror, switches, lights, speakers, safety items, weatherstripping, mouldings.... There are a LOT of parts in a car. Ford is wise to reduce the number whenever possible. What exactly are they defining as a "part". An actual part with a Ford part number? The unibody, is that one part? Or is that 247 parts that have been welded together? Tesla has the huge presses that stamp out whole sections of the unibody in one hit instead of needing to weld a bunch of individual pieces together. It's faster, cheaper and gives you a stronger finished part- of course you have to own the most expensive presss in the world to do it that way. Point is, changes in the way it's physcially constructed could reduce the parts count by quite a bit, making it a better product while not taking away any features or capabilities. [/QUOTE]
