...and now the modern equivalent is the Giga Press: https://cleantechnica.com/2024/03/09/teslas-giga-press-has-l...


Not only is the giga press mentioned in the article, it's very far from being an equivalent to the Alcoa 50,000.


Yes, it is mentioned in the article, and it specifically says: "We can see a modern, obvious parallel between the Air Force Heavy Press Program and Tesla, which has created a similar revolution in car manufacturing by using large aluminum castings to replace dozens or hundreds of smaller parts."

So I didn't think what I said was out of line. Obviously, I was mistaken.
