I’m not sure of the details of this, but Tesla and Toyota were (maybe still are) “aligned”, which is a thing in Japanese culture. It wouldn’t surprise me that they have discussed this technology together at some level. The idea that Toyota suddenly “copied” Tesla with this gigacasting idea, complete with working prototypes, after a short news cycle is a ridiculous interpretation either way.
- panick21_ 3y agoI don't get what you are talking about. Tesla has been using gigacasting for years and years now. Basically since the first major iteration on the Model 3 internals. Everybody has been copying this, multible companies in China have done that already and others have talked about it. Tesla and Toyota are not working togher and have not for a long time. If anything spliting the car into parts is something that Tesla has only just in planning and Toyota seem to be the first other company jumping on that concept.
