IDRA just posted a new video highlighting the assembly of its 9,000-ton "Giga Press" machine, which is rumored to be for the Tesla Cybertruck. Tesla already uses smaller and less capable 6,000-ton diecasting machines, and CEO Elon Musk has talked in the past about the need for at least an 8,000-ton option for the Cybertruck.
IDRA is the company that makes Tesla's "Giga Press" casting machines, which the automaker uses to diecast large vehicle parts. The Giga Press is one of many tools Tesla uses to streamline production, and the most notable use at this point is related to the automaker's Model Y crossover.
