Tesla depicted 2-megacast solution in current platform not single-piece gigacast

Teslarati quoted 2 incidents that Elon Musk and his team didn't promise nor back down on using single-cast giga:

1) When Tesla discussed its “unboxed process” during Investor Day 2023, the company’s graphics depicted a two-megacast solution, not a single-piece gigacast.

2) In his opening remarks, Musk noted that Tesla is accelerating the launch of new models by combining aspects of its current platform and its next-generation platform - the key phrase is "combining aspects of current platform"

The article also cited 2 reasons why Tesla is not using single-cast giga:

1) The Robotaxi “Cybercab” is a vehicle that will be built on a new platform, so it makes sense for Tesla to focus on tried and tested technologies for the vehicle’s production. the company’s alleged decision to use its existing gigacasting tech for the Robotaxi “Cybercab” has been teased by Elon Musk during Tesla’s Q1 earnings call.
2) Developing a single-piece gigacast would require a lot of trial and error, as well as a notable amount of investment on Tesla’s part. The company may be a pioneer in the use of gigacastings, but the company had to invest a notable amount of resources on its existing 6,000 to 9,000-ton Giga Press machines. Pursuing a single-piece gigacast for the Robotaxi would have required Tesla to develop a manufacturing system centered on a Giga Press that’s far larger than anything it has in its arsenal today — an endeavor that’s likely very costly.

@AleAgoPiaggio also commented in X.com that Tesla has never promised to use one-piece gigacasting system. He thinks the report about Tesla backing from its plan of developing the next-gen gigacasting is another lie (or BS).

My Take: This is not the first time the media has misquoted Elon Musk. Someone always attacks him for "backing down promise" but in actual fact it is the media that puts words in his mouth. The main purpose of doing so is to spread FUD. Tesla's shareholder should be able to tell what is a lie or fake info.
