Deep dives
Tesla Casting Reports Corrected by Reuters
Recent reports about Tesla's casting methods for the Model Y and Gigashang High have been corrected by Reuters. The original report suggested that Tesla was developing underbody one-piece casting, but the corrected report confirms that Tesla has been using integrated casting methods for the Model Y's rear production, something that was already known. The confusion seems to have arisen from translation errors and mixing of different casting technologies mentioned in the initial report. Therefore, the revised report does not offer any new information.
