Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a vehicle without a B-pillar that has barn doors and partially frameless windows. The barn doors may include a window seal system having a primary seal for creating a watertight barrier when the window is in a first closed position. Upon the vehicle exceeding a predetermined speed threshold, the vehicle may automatically raise the window from the first closed position to being in a second closed position in which a secondary seal secures the window to prevent buffeting of the window. Disclosed embodiments may further include a seal and door structure that provides a pair of seals (an inner seal and an outer seal) between the front and rear barn doors that provide a watertight barrier when the doors are closed together and that also allows for each of the front and rear doors to be independently opened and closed in a barn-door fashion.

Abstract: A modular vehicle assembly platform is disclosed. In some embodiments, the platform may comprise a cast bulkhead, a cast cowl, one or more cast front strut towers, a front subframe, a cross-car beam, one or more door rings, a structural central floor comprising a battery, a cast structural rear floor, a cast upper rear section (or d-ring), and a rear motor cradle. The platform may allow for the use of common parts and structure across different vehicle types.
