IDRA, the supplier of Tesla’s Giga Press, has hinted at another disruptive machine that might be used by key clients like Tesla. IDRA posted an image on its official LinkedIn account of a component of a new machine that would be producing electric motor rotors. The compact machine is a new innovation in the die-casting industry and is painted in colors similar to those that have been delivered to Tesla.
While it is yet to be seen if Tesla will acquire such a machine from IDRA, the electric vehicle maker would probably need such a contraption when it starts production of its compact electric car, which will be produced in Gigafactory Mexico. This vehicle, which is expected to be priced at around $25,000, is expected to see more production than the Model Y and Model 3 combined.
Tesla’s compact car will be produced on the company’s next-generation platform, which is designed to be significantly more efficient to produce than the Model 3 and Model Y. The platform will enable a 50% reduction in costs, as noted by Tesla CFO Zachary Kirkhorn during the 2023 Investor Day event. This means that the total cost of ownership of Tesla’s next-gen car will also be lower than the company’s vehicles today.
The new machine from IDRA is an exciting development in the die-casting industry, and it could potentially revolutionize the production of electric motor rotors. It remains to be seen if Tesla will acquire the machine, but if they do, it would be a significant step towards reducing production costs and improving the efficiency of their manufacturing process. Tesla’s compact car is expected to be a game-changer in the EV industry, and with this new machine from IDRA, it looks like Tesla is pushing the boundaries of innovation once again.
