    It feels like a lie. Gigapress, named similarly, was like this. It was just a press made by some other company but they marketed it as Tesla’s unique innovation. They’ll have to buy machines from other companies here too. And for what - destroying the night skies with a million satellites that will ultimately become debris when something goes wrong?

      The Gigapress was larger than proceeding ones, casting larger parts replacing robots to build those parts. The metallurgy for aluminium alloy was key.

      Tesla ordered most of the presses, but I think BYD is using them now too.

      I’m guessing the ones used for Cybertrucks aren’t so busy.
