Default the use of cabin fiber

I was wondering how well carbon fiber will hold up in the long run?
Koneissegg uses an all carbon fiber wheels and for their whole car as well.
Especially the wheels. Think of the potential micro fractures that could happen and the structural integrity will be effected.
Same goes for the whole car as well.
Also, pagani uses a carbon/titanium weave in his huayra. Now is that better? Will it hold up just as good as aluminum in the long run?
Just a thought.
I read something that Ferrari doesn't use carbon fiber for the main body due to the fact that it will be harder to detect potential issues that I mentioned above.
As for the la Ferrari, I think its made of carbon fiber. So I guess they only do it for their super cars.
Just curious
