I have heard Rumors that they are at 10% success rate in casting these. I.e they have to shredder/remelt 90% of their castings. To give you some perspective. A success rate 99% is aimed for. 95% is reasonable. Below 90% and your profits are melting away. Here is a screenshot from a YouTube Video (Gabeincal -does weekly drone flyovers) showing the GIGA Casting Machine. sub-90% success rate means burning money, Tesla apparently had a ~10% success rate

rotor posted:idk the article says that a lot of chinese mfgrs are adopting it. not sure if thats a good sign or what tho i guess steel and aluminum casting is growing significantly in china right now and not for little stuff but safety critical parts for steering and braking. the big chinese firms have the money and know-how to invest in this and make it successful whereas tesla does not have those things

I think one of the "Tesla Factories are safety nightmares" stories said that the giga-casting machines would spray molten metal all over, and there was no effort to fix it.

Trillhouse posted:I hate that Tesla pretends they invented casting big parts for a vehicle. that is sand casting. this came up in the ai (cars) thread about it too. we have been able to sand cast gigantic parts forever, because all you do is mix sand with oil and carve a shape into it and pour in the molten metal. casting size is only limited by how much space and sand you've got. die casting, where you inject the metal into a sealed reusable mold under pressure, is much faster but is limited to smaller objects. these tesla die castings are the largest die castings ever made. in that sense it's impressive. it is true that you can theoretically save time and money in manufacturing if you can make one huge solid piece with all the geometry and fittings molded in instead of having to assemble it out of many parts. it is also true that these things are gonna be basically impossible to repair in a structurally sound way should they get damaged. in reality, though, that's not as much of a problem as it sounds like, since for basically every new car any accident violent enough to damage the frame just means a write-off. nobody is going in and hammering out unibodies and re-welding frames except those insane russian scam artists. also, tesla didn't invent this giant die casting technology. they just contracted a company that makes casting machines (Idra) to make the biggest one ever. tesla can claim no real responsibility.

Like when you say "violent enough to bend the frame" is sounds bad but when the rear door surround (or whatever) is also the frame then im not really so sure how violent that needs to be

tesla fixed the one weird trick my work used to use to get rush delivery on stuff, they used to let you put the requested delivery date for things you ordered in the past and the further in the past that you requested the delivery date, then the more overdue it would show up in their system and your order would go higher up in their queue. you could get parts shipping next day doing this by requesting a delivery date like 6 months ago

Sagebrush posted:what is his goal? why is he taking apart his own company? shareholders love mass layoffs, because there's a general presumption that all the least profitable teams and least efficient workers are getting fired, leaving only the most productive and valuable workers to work on the company's most important profit centers. so they'll assume that number will surely go up as a result, and will stop bothering the company's execs for a couple of quarters even if the layoffs look dumb as hell at first glance, shareholders are willing to chalk it up to management making painful and tough decisions to restore profitability in a difficult situation, so CEOs can buy themselves a bit of breathing room by just randomly firing a fifth of the workforce also, drugs
