Tesla Shows Rare Video of Mega Casting of Model Y at Giga Shanghai

Anyone know if the shanghai model y has castings in both front and rear, or just the rear?

I love driving.

There is no way to repair these large castings.

The militant lazy Unions sttiked themselves out of lots of jobs in the auto sections of Canada and now Detroit will be more of a ghost town.Working at a snails pace like the Canadian Military and car town Ontario got what they deserved
They use to walk around Canada like their poop didn't stink and I have.prayed for this day for the past 35 years
Thank you God oh and.Elon

We lack people in public service jobs. Cannot get enough teachers at all levels. We must train all those in politics not just elect lawyers. Not enough trades people. We could fix out inefficient houses and save a ton of energy. Forests must be managed as do streams.

your negative attitude about progress in manurfacturing would have us still riding horses and bathing in creeks while the rest of us will pass you by and leave you on a dirt trail covered with horse manure

Learn how to fix robots

Didnt know that about canada... interesting

Employment. likely 10 down to one or two . shanghai is producing 1 million units with 15,000 VW is producing 1 million with 75000

Big mistake Elon, you should never have set up in China, they will rob you blind, steal your intellectual property secrets and then kick you out and start making their own version of your ideas and designs. Big mistake, never trust the CCP.

Great

Good points and good comments made in this video, Thank you, but I think Tesla is focused to succeed and compeet rather than playing role of ministry for social affairs of the sort

So if you get in a crash and the chassis is the slightest bit compromised repair would seem to be completely unfeasible. That seems very wasteful and I would like to see Elon address this issue. Obviously, it's a no-brainer production-wise.

You are lying or very misinformed about Canada, but I guess this is the age of stupid.

clickbait. Wanted to see the gigapress in action. Instead some generic footage and talking.

Good day Armen, your comment about Tesla being the only car manufacturer using large scale High Pressure Die Cast (HPDC) parts to speed up production and improve weight is not correct. Magna International has been producing FRONTEND ASSEMBLIES to automobile manufacturers for several years. At the time they received their HPDC press from IDRA it was a 4,400 Ton press possibly the largest in the world at that time. May 6, 2019 IDRA news release. I believe Acura is one customer using this technology as well.

Talk too much.

I live in canada and they will fix them if repairs are under the total value there's shops that fix frames

The people that lose jobs could go and work for Jeff Bezos making vacuum tubes for his 1969 moon lander.

I love working next to robots way better since they don’t break wind.
In the hot factory lines of the past it was a nightmare - thank god it’s just me and the robots now.

Elon Musk said if anything happens to the mega casting you would probably be dead.

Come on man the U.S is a capitalist drivin organism. Their in the business of making not losing money. So the rates will be high on the car here in the U.S. the compleat unit cast will make it not impossible to fix but to straighten the whole unit out would be very exspensive. So I believe the Insurance companies will default to a compleat write off as loss.

To want to stop technology advancements because it will create less job is idiotic

Sandy Monroe takes no risk in suggesting the megacast method. No matter what happens, he strengthens his reputation. If it works, he is the hero genius. If it does not work, he can blame Tesla's inability to make the science work.

Remember, Tesla's issues are fit and finish. That's what they want to achieve. They could care less that the wrecked car means another sale.

And before you say, "Well, Tesla is selling insurance, too." Not true. Telsa is NOT underwriting insurance. They have a marketing relationship with an underwriting entity.

Farming bro need to choose farming need to feed people

Still pictures aren’t videos.

I wouldn't worry about how unibody vehicles will be affected by insurance because I foresee that this method will become industry standard.

Where was the video of the casting process? Maybe don't have misleading titles.

Birth rate is down. Their will be fewer workers in the future. Most will live off government

What happens to the crumple zones in these one piece parts, is the safety built in?

You like driving? Just keep doing it as a sport!

Distributed manufacturing for smaller products can create a lot of opportunities.
Anyone can babysit a 3D printer.
Thanks!

There will be a need for people to repair all of the machines for automation. Gearing education towards building and repairing of automated machines would help some people keep jobs. I look for UBI to become instituted in many within 10 years. As far as the laziness, there could be a UBI bonus incentive for those who are keeping healthy and educating themselves in their free time.

All that aluminum in the winters in northern states, salt and beet juice sugar de-icer will eat it up quick!

You brought up a very important feature that no user ever wants to hear: not likely any spare parts can be be readily available for this one-size-fits-all chassis. I would never buy any such car. Only a rich snob would be so cavalier with his/her money to do so. Come on, Musk - when you going to make an e-Car affordable for the masses, something < $20K?

Didn't see any actual casting in process, just after-product.

Metal pressing

So is this metal ?

I just finished reading several more comments, A lot of smart viewers, And yes , I am mentally exhausted when I finish listening to your commentary, much to fast, ,much to repetitive, and in some case, the stream is unconnected. All in all you have good content, but then again I love Telsa as they are definitely the way of the future, Solar, space, and transportation all from one mind.

Thank you to the previous commenter. Whenever there appears to be a liability, you need to look for all the possibilities as well. With wages going up and some living costs going down I would love to see a one worker family emerging in the middle class. I believe there could be tremendous possibilities associated with this new paradigm. Think about it. .

Incredible tech going on here, good luck to Elon you are a brave man in investing into this giga factory in China. With the CCP fining Jack Ma’s Alibaba $3.6b for some obscure reason, watch this space.

you don,t worked owed some stock Best Fixed Income Tesla do a lots in house

Engineering engineering engineering

I like to drive too. FSD will not be an option I will want. I may buy a Model 3 or perhaps the new $25k Model 2 within the next 24 months.

Your children... remember when adults use to go to work 10 hrs per day lol....what a waste....let the bots do the work

We'll play golf...let the bots do the work

Instead of being concerned about job loses, contribute about likely solution

I see alot of horse shoe industry in its way to be in the list
