What improvements are they making that other car companies haven’t thought about?
- nickik 6y ago- Mega Castings, casting have been used before, but never at the size Tesla does. Tesla has costume co-designed machines and they developed their own alloy to make it work. See: https://youtu.be/BwoiFC-HwPE?t=273 https://youtu.be/BwoiFC-HwPE?t=273 - Structural Battery Cell (Packs are structural in some cars, not cells) Eventually these two things together will basically be the main part of the car.
