Part 3/10:
As discussed in a Future Raza segment featuring industry watchers Brian and Mark, the mechanics behind giga castings involve applying immense clamping force—up to 9,000 tons in certain cases—to ensure the mold is filled precisely and efficiently, allowing for mass production. Over time, Tesla has iteratively improved its casting process, reducing the weight of its parts and improving manufacturing speed. Initially, a single casting weighed about 67 kilograms; today that number has dropped to below 60 kilograms while also enhancing structural integrity.
