No. Musk said the Mark 2 will be abandoned. Apparently it has the samedesign as the Mark 1. He said they will move to the Mark 3 design. Basically they are re-building from zero.

I have to say that when I first saw the ship was being hand-welded by workers outdoors in cherry pickers, I knew it was a movie prop. And guess what? The rip is a clean failure across the length of a weld line. Watch the video when the nose code finally hits the ground
