Spot on. Not to mention. Drivers front side sled rail support should be on the outside like in the rear. Should be about where the dudes left shoulder is. And what's up with the gap on the back support. And is that a flimsy floor the rails sit on? Not for walking on.

No. Whatever you're on about, no.

Your circles are never on the same object on the right it's on the left.

You've found no evidence this isn't a real photo.

Sure I did.... But even then. What do u think is in front of the BIW that would make the guys crawl under it? Do you think it logical that they left the overwrap right in front of the BIW and then crawled under it to do some tooling. And what even is that mess In front of the A pillar?

A) This body is incomplete. It's missing structural panels and components, hence being welded to a frame on the ground, rather than sitting on a tray.
B) They seem to be under the A pillar extension, where the safety capsule meets the front end (which is missing)

Why would that be illogical?

and then crawled under it to do some tooling.
Dunno what he's doing, he's got a laptop. Measuring something?

I would surmise there seems to be an "A-1" pilar in the safety capsule to connect the front gigacasting (missing) and the frunk.

Because that's something I would do in my garage on a Tuesday night on my old truck. Not something I would expect engineers would be doing on what some consider to be the most important project in the history of a 1/2 trillion dollar global public company. Just looks to cheesy of a setting for such an important project.

Sometimes you just need to fit things together and see how it's working.

Your head seems to be in 'grey fog' because I don't see this 'fog' you're seeing.

There's a safety yellow vest above and to the right of the legs in the black pants.

I wonder how the stainless steel outer skin is attached to this body. They would need to attach bolt points on the stainless steel somehow without welding. Welding would create discoloration...wonder if they would just glue the panels to a bracket that then attaches to these castings.

Now that ive seen the frame I believe they will be using folds somewhat similar to a pizza box that go into the frame and are held in with some type of latching mechanism and an industrial adhesive at key points to prevent abrasion and vibrasion

There are many ways to fasten dissimilar metals without welding or adhesive. Just watch a Munro tear down and you will see any number of ways. Various bolt types and rivets are just two.
