Yes but the Others are not using that currently and Tesla's got some IP of its own included there to achieve such large Die Cast parts' production so there's that to consider. So Tesla has been making use of that and bringing that IP further along whereas the competition will have a learning curve that will not catch up to Tesla in time to keep Tesla from gaining more Electric Vehicle market share!

  There is this(1) and I'm looking for some metallurgical patent that I read about but I have not bookmarked that page. So even if Tesla's not creating the Die Cast machines themselves there are alloy compositions and procedures that Tesla makes use of that are of proprietary nature such as recipes for metal alloys and casting procedures that produce acceptable results that are considered Trade Secrets related.

  Here is another(1) that I was talking about and: "Tesla Motors has once again made clear its interest in metalcasting technology, filing a patent application for a new series of aluminum alloys that the automaker claims can maintain high-yield strength while achieving high conductivity. More than this, the “high-performance diecastable aluminum alloys” described by Tesla also have “a high flowability and low susceptibility to hot tearing when diecast.” "(1) (1) "Patent Filing Indicates Tesla's Material Progress The EV developer's research efforts reveal a plan to melt and cast an aluminum-nickel alloy with high-yield strength and high conductivity.
