Tesla has canceled plans to use a new generation of 'gigacasting' for its future products, impacting the underbody construction of its upcoming electric cars.
The move represents a retreat from Tesla's prior gigacasting approach, which was already simplifying assembly compared to traditional methods, attracting attention and emulation from industry peers.
Elon Musk's focus on AI and robotics and recent workforce reductions suggest a broader strategic shift at Tesla, emphasizing technology over traditional car manufacturing.
Tesla's decision to move away from gigacasting may influence industry efforts to achieve EV manufacturing cost parity and marks a departure from its pioneering role in this space.
