Elon Musk Just Bought This GIGANTIC Machine For Cybertruck!

Tesla has acquired the world's largest casting machine, known as Giga Press, and will use it to construct the body of the Cybertruck. Tesla has been heavily investing in casting and alloy technology in recent years in order to enable larger casted parts with the potential to greatly simplify manufacturing. How powerful is this machine? Let’s find out!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multibillion-dollar companies.

And let’s begin!

The company purchased several units of the world's largest casting machine. Idra creates these massive, multi-million dollar machines. Tesla's first Giga Press, installed at the Fremont factory, went into service in 2020. The machine was the first of its kind at the time, with a clamping force ranging between 55,000 and 61,000 kilonewtons (5,600 to 6,200 tf).

Tesla already makes the Model Y with a single rear body piece that replaces 70 different parts in the vehicle.

Tesla received several more massive casting machines at Gigafactory Texas, and the company has now begun producing the Model Y at the facility with both front and rear single-piece casting.

Idra has been teasing a new 9,000-pound Giga press that will be the largest in the world for the last few weeks. Given Tesla's history with Idra, it was assumed that the new machine would be for the automaker once more.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has now confirmed that the machine will be used for the Cybertruck body.

This is not surprising given that Tesla has already stated that the Cybertruck will be built with a stainless-steel exoskeleton body, which will necessitate a new level of casting capability.

Tesla stated on its website about the Cybertruck's exoskeleton:
“Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.”

The company admitted early on that it would need to develop new manufacturing techniques in order to put the vehicle into production. This massive new casting machine appears to be part of that plan.

The Cybertruck was first unveiled in 2019. The electric pickup truck was supposed to be in production already, but the automaker delayed it in order to focus on increasing Model Y production.

The company now intends to begin production of the Cybertruck in 2023. While there are concerns that Tesla will not meet this deadline, this new machine is a rare indication that the company is investing in Cybertruck production.

So, what is a Giga Press?

Idra Group in Italy manufactures the Giga Press series of aluminum die casting machines. They are notable for having the world's largest high-pressure die casting machines, with clamping forces ranging from 55,000 to 61,000 kilonewtons (5,600 to 6,200 tf). Each machine weighs between 410 and 430 tonnes (900,000 and 950,000 pounds).

Idra's catalogue has included base specification Giga Press machines since 2018, with Tesla, Inc. beginning use of a customized OL 6100 CS Giga Press in late 2020 for the production of chassis parts for the Tesla Model Y.

Molten aluminum shots weighing 80 kilograms (180 lb) are injected at a speed of 10 metres per second (22 mph; 36 km/h) into the cold-chamber casting mold.
