Musk commented:
Not what I want to hear. Funny how so many have focused on the giga casting and nothing about how they are going to bend stainless steel to make it. Elon pointed out that it's so hard that they have to score it to make bends. Spring back is always a factor in any metal bending and I assume this will be part of the challenge at scale. Gotta believe they think they have all this figured out before announcing production date forecasts of any kind.
