Eco-skeleton is a unibody, no question about that. But that doesn't make it 'marketing'.
Interior unibody was just always assumed because in cars (unlike planes) nobody ever did exo.
And its not a marketing features as it has a number of real advantages. Part reduction being one and smaller easier bodyshop. Not needing any paint anymore (a modern Painshop cost 500M).

Well we have this things called Ethernet and PoE. Works pretty well for me.

maybe I’m just being nit picky, but Poe isn’t power over the same data lines, it a separate set of wires in the same insulation jacket carrying power. I don’t see Tesla switching away from CAN to flex ray or something custom.
Fair point. But Musk actually said he wanted Ethernet at one point. Or maybe he said something like it, I don't remember.
Moving from 12v to 24 or even 48v makes a lot of sense. Not sure what you mean by power and data on the same lines, sounds like a horrible plan.
