About 170 seconds per casting, I think. So, theoretically about 500 per day per machine. Giga Berlin with 8 of these, assuming 4 for rear and 4 for front casting, that is 14,000 cars a week, or a run rate of 728,000 a year just for the Model Y in the European market.

My napkin math got 193 seconds or 448 per 24h day so we're in the same ballpark at least. Looks like Texas will have 6 of these. If that's 3 front, 3 rear. If they're all at the same speed... 500x3 = 1500 per day, 10,500 per week, 546k per year.

Absolutely fantastic footage! Great job, thanks! What was the length of time to make one casting? I get 240 seconds, 4 minutes to make one casting. That's 360 castings/24 HRS. GIGA TX is rumored to get casting machines if true that's 2,880/day?!

The cycle time for the rear casting is under 4 minutes. A new part every 4 minutes. I wonder if they are still tweaking the process or if it is already dialed in? This includes the time it takes to cool the mold and apparently spray some mold release oil inside. Remember, the video was running at 8X in that sequence.

From my timings, it looks like it takes about 3 minutes to make a casting. About 20 seconds to open and extract the casting, 100 seconds to clean/prep the press for next casting, and then about 60 seconds to inject/form the new casting. Did anyone else get similar numbers (Or Gabe can you verify from the non-sped up video?) That would give a capacity of about 480/day/press, or with the two presses in Fremont, a run rate of 350K/year .

Those beauties are made in Italy 🇮🇹

Open roof? I guess it's really true. It never rains in California.

All the same casting: depending on whether the excess fell/got trimmed off. If not, the people in the top-left corner (04:26) snap off and carry the excess over the recycling skips for re-running through the machine-completely fresh Alu ingots are those cubes covered in green plastic wrap.

Get ready for even more price cuts as this thing lowers the cost on manufacturing and labor!!! Model Y will be even cheaper this summer which will drive up sales.
