@tjroelsma

That's a bit simplified: each one of these parts also adds strength and rigidity to the structure. If you look at that Tesla chassis, the part they're talking about has warnings on it telling workers to NOT stand on it, aka "this is a part that can NOT handle any load" (and therefore will add almost NO strength and rigidity). In the car industry many things are being done for reasons, one of the most important reasons is safety. Other reasons may be that those same 70 parts are being used in different models of cars, adding the same strength and rigidity and making it all much more cost effective. Do you really think that manufacturers like Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota and Hyundai would continue to use those 70 parts if they could get the same strength and rigidity with a single cast part? Especially when that cast part will obviously be much cheaper? These guys simply blow past considering why car manufacturers do things that way as if Tesla "re-inventing" the car is the only and superior way to go. The only reason why Tesla can use that single cast part is that the huge battery pack beneath will add the necessary strength and rigidity, but then you're comparing apples to pears: ICE cars don't have those huge battery packs underneath and therefore they need the sturdier construction provided by those 70 parts. Seeing things in perspective shows the logic behind them and these guys totally ignore the perspective to make Tesla look better.

you might be able to cover those castings with something like "rubberized coating" to dull those edges, I assume it reduces complexity in casting to to "dull" those edges?, a single dunk might do it, sharp edges doesn't seem like a good idea! Plus the rubber coating helps with longevity, not to mention bad PR when someone cuts their hand, also hard to repair a car when your wearing "boxing gloves". Reduced maintenance cost, since tesla does its own might make the costs balance out, slower repairs and assembly, has a cost too, in mho.

For as long as castings have been used in industry (before sheet metal stampings), it's good to see a new application.

i don't think any other car company could have adopted a single piece casting. Yes, you can design one on the computer but what about the material engineering Tesla did. They had to create a completely new aluminum alloy which would flow fast enough to fill the mold. Existing aluminum alloys cannot be used to make Tesla's one piece casting, not to mention that no casting maker would have attempted to make it. Tesla convinced IDRA to give it a try and it worked. Now that Tesla has done it, others can reverse engineer and figure out the composition of the alloy.

So literally Tesla is progressing and innovating at magnitudes faster than industry standard. Remember those people complaining about past presentations how it felt thrown together.

@@geoffgeoff3333 Well, that is your assumption. If you think about it just a little bit, the side impact strength of the door (as an example) is greatly improved by the strength of the skin, allowing less internal skeleton in the form of the steel beams conveniently placed where side impact strength is usually tested. Also, for smaller impacts it can shrug off a drunken karate kick with at maximum a small scratch that literally buffs out. Obviously the skin of the door could not ever be meant to be a part of the torsional rigidity of the vehicle, because then you couldn't open it. So it is clearly an exoskeleton in any reasonable interpretation of the word. Sure, feel free to have an unreasonable interpretation, but I will then feel free to call you out on it.

Well, it's not an "exoskeleton" in the way Elon originally described to us. But using very hard stainless steel body panels, and doing it they way they are doing it, does add a good amount of rigidity... without providing the actual structural support for the entire vehicle. The giga-castings do most of that. But the stainless steel panels contribute to the strength of the giga-castings. See @geirmyrvagnes8718 's comment here. So "in any manner [or] form" isn't true. Listen to how these two guys talk about the structural rigidity and strength and crumple zones of the CT: compare the appearance of those giga-castings to the exoskeleton husks of beetles and such. This vehicle really is a shift from body-on-frame to something much more exoskeleton-y, and the stainless steel panels are a critical part of the strength of those giga-castings.
