I don't know what the hell you've been reading, but they've never claimed the entire truck is solid stainless steel. Just the exterior panels.

they claimed that the exterior panels would be able to add to the rigidity and strength of the truck. Not that it was 100% rigid or that the exterior made up 100% of the structural strength.

The interior is still basically just a regular aluminum body like all their other cars.
