And the interesting thing is that the lighter the car, the better the performance. That’s why Tesla chose aluminum over heavier materials like steel for many parts of its cars.

By using aluminum, Tesla’s vehicles can weigh a lot less than traditional cars. For example, aluminum can weigh as much as 60% less than steel while maintaining strength. This lightweight feature is especially important in electric vehicles, where weight directly affects the car’s battery range.

A lighter car means the battery does not have to work as hard, and this gives you more miles per charge. That’s huge for Tesla, where range and performance are key selling points.
