New Giga Press Is For Tesla Cybertruck
Posted On: June 2, 2022

Last week Tesla’s Giga Press manufacturer IDRA released a video teasing a new 9000-ton Giga Press being assembled at the company’s Lombardy Italy factory. In the 21-second video, IDRA did not share a lot of details about the new machine besides stating it will be "coming in 3 weeks."


Currently, Tesla uses 6000-ton Giga Presses to build the front and rear chassis of the Model Y as single pieces. Using the Giga Press has allowed Tesla to decrease parts that make up the rear body of the Model Y from 120 to 1.


This enables Tesla to eliminate several welding robots from the production line, decrease the footprint of the factory, and decrease manufacturing time, complexity, and assembly errors.


Having a single-piece rear body as opposed to 120 also makes the Mode Y lighter, stiffer, and simply an overall better product but at a cheaper price.

My Take: The Giga Press gives Tesla a huge advantage over the other OEMs. Cars can be made quicker, better and cheaper.
