Tesla Fremont Factory Flyover Reveals Massive Giga Press In Operation ++ It's amazing what a "bird" can see. Remember when Tesla CEO Elon Musk blamed himself for too much automation too soon? The company has been committed to using robots and plenty of automation. In fact, Musk believes manufacturing is something that will give Tesla an edge going forward. However, earlier in Model 3 production, over-automation was one concern cited during "production hell." Fast-forward to the present and Tesla is using what Musk calls the "biggest casting machine ever made." Drone operator and YouTube channel Gabeincal spotted the Giga Press operating as he was searching the Fremont factory grounds for details related to a potential Model S and Model X refresh.
