Tesla is not cutting back on gigacasting; it's just sticking to its current model approach, which is one front gigacast and one rear gigacast.
They've talked about some future vehicle platform using a single gigacast, but I never heard them talk about this as a sure thing, or as replacing the manner their current vehicles are produced. Their "model 2" was always described as using the "unboxed" approach, which to me would be incompatible with the single massive gigacast approach from the beginning.

- omgwtfbyobbq 2y agoI think the article is a bit thin. They're referencing their own article from last year, which cites anonymous sources, and this article also cites anonymous sources (the same anonymous sources, different, a mix?). It may or may not be accurate. The only thing I recall Tesla saying about their next car is using an unboxed assembly method, and I believe they said they may scale that back during the last investor call. https://www.reuters.com/technology/gigacasting-20-tesla-reinvents-carmaking-with-quiet-breakthrough-2023-09-14/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/gigacasting-20-tesla-rein...
