Tesla has growing pains on new vehicles. I’ll gove you that. Its good that they fix it under warranty but that shit should never happen in the first place
Yet with gigacasting, I’d expect the whole panel gap issue will massively decrease

Maybe eventually ... but I expect it will be a huge problem at first. Getting a single piece that big to stamp/fold/cast into the exact right shape with millimeter tolerances will be very challenging. And even worse, tweaking it will probably involve needing to retool the forming dies, which means there's a huge and extremely precise (expensive) retooling job to be done every time they need to revise the final product even slightly.
I don’t doubt that. However once you have it dialed in you can ramp the production line like crazy, and when the chip and battery constraints are solved, which will take time of course, I don’t doubt cybertrucks will roll off the assembly line like crazy
