Possible Castings for New Lower Cost Tesla Model Q

A drone operator flying over the Tesla Fremont factory is spotting thousands of front vehicle casting being stored at the factory. He also found one of the
The article from NextBigFuture discusses potential casting strategies for Tesla's new, lower-cost vehicle, tentatively named the Model Q. It explores how Tesla might leverage its existing manufacturing innovations, particularly in gigacasting, to reduce production costs. Gigacasting involves creating large single-piece underbody parts, which simplifies assembly and reduces the number of components. The article speculates on Tesla possibly using even larger castings or integrating multiple parts into one to further streamline production. It also mentions the potential use of new materials or alloys to decrease weight and cost while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, the piece touches on how these manufacturing advancements could help Tesla achieve its goal of producing a car priced around $25,000, making electric vehicles more accessible to a broader market.
