Default SN8 steel type

After serious thinking JF Mezei wrote :
A couple of questions about various prototypes at Boca Chica.

SpaceX built two Sn7s with the new steel aloy to be destructively tested.

has SpaceX specified whether SN8 (which got chilled with liquid nitrogen
tonight) was built with the new steel alow, or still the old one ?


It was announced after SN7 that SN8 would be the new alloy. This
quote, from August 6, is from after the announcement:
"According to NASASpaceflight.com info, Starship SN8 – also the first
full-scale prototype to be built out of a different steel alloy – will
be the first ship to receive functional flaps and a nosecone. "
