- mitthrowaway2 2y agoNot only is the giga press mentioned in the article, it's very far from being an equivalent to the Alcoa 50,000.
- cbsmith 2y agoYes, it is mentioned in the article, and it specifically says: "We can see a modern, obvious parallel between the Air Force Heavy Press Program and Tesla, which has created a similar revolution in car manufacturing by using large aluminum castings to replace dozens or hundreds of smaller parts." So I didn't think what I said was out of line. Obviously, I was mistaken.
