UK-based Thatcham Research tasked with testing American firm's new chassis following concerns
Tesla is working to address criticism that its huge ‘megacast’ underbody sections are too hard to repair, pushing up the cost of insurance, Autocar has learned. The American EV giant pioneered the use of giant casting machines to eliminate almost a hundred underbody parts with a single aluminium piece, cutting costs and speeding up production.
Most notably Toyota says it is experimenting with the technology and reckons it has come up with a quicker method to change moulds. Meanwhile Hyundai will build cars using a ‘hypercast’ method starting 2026, according to a report from South Korea. Chinese automakers Zeekr and Xpeng are both already using the technology. Xpeng uses single-piece front and rear castings for its G6 model, the first on the new SEPA platform.
