Tesla’s sole provider for its gigantic Giga Casting machines IDRA Group from Italy has finally fully unveiled the production version of the 9000-ton machine. This 9,000-ton machine is going to be used for making Tesla Cybertruck body parts as previously confirmed by Elon Musk.

In a new video posted on YouTube and other social media platforms, IDRA demonstrated the final assembly of this giant Giga Casting machine at its assembly plant in Travagliato, Italy.

This 9000t diecasting machine is critical to putting the Tesla Cybertruck into production which has already been delayed by a couple of years and is scheduled to start next year (2023) at Giga Texas.

The most interesting diagram is the machine layout diagram of the 9000-ton Giga Casting machine that he posted online (below). The technical diagram specifically mentions that the total weight of this machine is 688,200 Kg (1517221.29 lbs) — and this includes 27,300 Kg (60186 lbs) of water-glycol. No surprise that this is the largest Giga Casting machine ever built.

Sawyer Merrit also calculated that each of these gigantic 9,000-ton Giga Casting machines weighs as much as 347 Tesla Model Y Long Range SUVs.

The delivery and commissioning of these 9,000-ton Giga Casting machines by IDRA is critical to starting Tesla Cybertruck production next year. However, it’s not clear whether this 9000-ton version has actually replaced the previous 8,000-ton version or if they are both going to be used for Cybertruck production, hopefully, this is answered by Elon Musk sooner or later.
