This decision comes from two sources familiar with the matter, as reported by Reuters.<br><br>The shift away from one-piece gigacasting coincides with Tesla&#8217;s refocus on developing self-driving vehicles and its decision to step back from introducing a new affordable car, known as the &#8220;Model 2.&#8221; This model was anticipated to utilize the one-piece gigacasting technology.<br><br>By sticking with the three-piece method, previously utilized for models like the Model Y and Cybertruck, Tesla is indicating a strategy geared towards cost-cutting. This decision is driven by factors such as declining sales, reduced margins, and increased competition. Moreover, the company recently laid off over 10% of its global workforce.<br><br>Despite this setback, Tesla remains committed to advancing self-driving technology and plans to introduce more affordable models by leveraging its current platforms and production lines. This suggests a continued emphasis on innovation and adaptability within the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bigbreakingwire wp-block-embed-bigbreakingwire\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"1NGplDYsRm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/tesla-secures-approval-for-full-self-driving-software-launch-in-china-through-baidu-partnership\/\">Tesla Secures Approval for Full Self-Driving Software Launch in China Through Baidu Partnership<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Tesla Secures Approval for Full Self-Driving Software Launch in China Through Baidu Partnership&#8221; &#8212; BigBreakingWire\" src=\"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/tesla-secures-approval-for-full-self-driving-software-launch-in-china-through-baidu-partnership\/embed\/#?secret=yy91sMRIRv#?secret=1NGplDYsRm\" data-secret=\"1NGplDYsRm\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bigbreakingwire wp-block-embed-bigbreakingwire\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kjPDOBWQuF\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/teslas-rally-costs-short-sellers-5-5-billion-in-four-days-s3-partners-report\/\">Tesla&#8217;s Rally Costs Short Sellers $5.5 Billion in Four Days: S3 Partners Report<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Tesla&#8217;s Rally Costs Short Sellers $5.5 Billion in Four Days: S3 Partners Report&#8221; &#8212; BigBreakingWire\" src=\"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/teslas-rally-costs-short-sellers-5-5-billion-in-four-days-s3-partners-report\/embed\/#?secret=mM2jyUtBkB#?secret=kjPDOBWQuF\" data-secret=\"kjPDOBWQuF\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla has decided against pursuing its plan for one-piece gigacasting, choosing instead to maintain its current method of casting vehicle underbodies in three separate parts:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[618,31,616,619,1,39],"tags":[3468,3913,1794,3756,2735,3909,1562,3439,3072,1796,1720,3911,112,3912,3910],"class_list":["post-14769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brokerage-reports","category-business","category-stock-in-news","category-stocks-in-news","category-tech","category-world","tag-adaptability","tag-affordable-models","tag-competition","tag-cost-cutting","tag-cybertruck","tag-gigacasting","tag-innovation","tag-layoffs","tag-model-2","tag-model-y","tag-sales-decline","tag-self-driving-vehicles","tag-tesla","tag-three-piece-method","tag-vehicle-underbodies","entry","rows"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"modified_by":null,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pfgCxS-3Qd","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigbreakingwire.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
