A few weeks back, Tesla’s Giga Press manufacturer IDRA released a video teasing a new 9000-ton Giga Press being assembled at the company’s 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.

Going back to the new 9000-ton Giga Press, when IDRA released the video teasing this machine, there was confusion as to what product Tesla will use the new Giga Press for. However, a few days ago Elon Musk confirmed the new machine will be used to build the Cybertruck’s body.

According to most industry analysts, the Cybertruck is not expected to begin production until late 2023 with initial deliveries not starting until early 2024. However, today we have got some good news that suggests Tesla might begin Cybertruck production earlier than expected.

And the good news is that IDRA has finished assembling the 9000-ton Giga Press that will be used to build the Cybertruck. IDRA shared this information through the company’s official YouTube channel.

My Take: A few years ago, nobody was using a Giga Press to help build a better car. Now it seems obvious that it is the only way to go.
