When a photo of a bare Tesla Cybertruck body popped up online a few days ago many said that its rear was the result of a single-piece casting possibly created in the new 9,000-ton Giga press. However, now that Sandy Munro of Munro Live has had a look at the photo, he says that it’s certainly not cast as a single piece and that it was most likely assembled from five individual cast pieces.
Sandy also says that Tesla probably hasn’t set up its new press manufactured by Italy’s IDRA Group. It was delivered to Tesla last month, but between then and when the photo surfaced, Sandy says there wouldn’t have been enough time for the press to be made operational.
