Tesla’s Elon Musk Talks Single Cast Design, Collision Repair Strategy

Elon Musk recently shared some details about Tesla’s collision repair strategy when the company rolls out its vehicles that are built using single-piece castings.

The update provides a glimpse at Tesla’s emerging approach to vehicle maintenance and repair, an aspect of the electric car maker’s business that will likely be more notable as the company grows.

Considering that Tesla’s vehicles will be built with large, single-piece casts, members of the electric vehicle community have been inquiring about the company’s strategy for repairing damages from incidents like minor collisions.

It would be quite challenging to replace vehicle parts, after all, if the electric cars are only comprised of a few massive, casted pieces.

Inasmuch as this may be the case, Tesla appears to have come up with a rather novel solution for the potential challenges that will be brought about by single-piece casts.
