Except that 16x3x14kWh = 672kWh
So something isn't quite right there.

Indeed, so not not the full picture. I just threw this in because the source seems to be some sort of quasi-insider in the Tesla Semi program (or at least is playing one on the blue'bird).
Wonder if LR Semi has "3 modules, SR Semi has 2 modules, CT has 1 module" is possible? Obviously, not 4680 cells currently, but I think Tesla would be wise to create a range of CT packs with both cell formats to hedge tech+supply issues, and to provide for lower trim CT options in the future.
Ceres!

I doubt it. Since Tesla has determined that structural packs are their newest optimization, "modules" would be a step backwards. They have a large car platform, a mid-size platform, and now a semi-truck platform. I think the CT would be its own separate platform. Any body-style that shares it would have to use the same size AND shape pack.

Could be but that would mean they were able to extinguish the pack fire before it consumed the cabin.

Yes, I don't know what year it was and if it had lithium or lead, of course either could catch fire.
Yeah. if they arrive soon enough, and know what they are doing, it can be extinguished in time:
Check out the Lyten Lithium-Sulphur battery about 8 mins or so into this video:-
If there technology works, and can be produced for anything like the price they claim, Lyten might be a handy acquisition for Tesla.

Someone was talking a while back in the main thread about the image in the investor deck with 11 robots working on the one vehicle. They suggested this was uncommon and I agreed at the time, but looking back at some old footage, I guess no?
You can see from this footage from Berlin there are places on the existing lines with at leat 5-8 robots working the vehicles at the same time. It might be more than that, the drone kind of shoots through there.

The problem I see is that the smaller channels needed to feed multiple parts may cause cooling issues during casting. Doing single castings means the one part is filled almost instantly and localized cooling is avoided.

They didn't appear to be flashings, would have been an excessive waste for flashings given the size and number, but "am I sure" implies 100% confidence. I don't work at Tesla and haven't see the presses first hand, so no I cannot say I'm sure.
Are those extra parts or just runners to tune the flow of aluminum? It seems (from other videos and grip position) only the main casting is removed after the machining step.

This was the video I was referring to. If those are runners, they certainly are odd-shaped. Would expect them to be linear, not rounded and square in the middle of the free space.

I don't think we've seen anything in the tear downs that looks like parts which might come from that area, I think it's waste from the casting process and is cut out and recycled.

Having worked first hand on a Model S (forget 3/Y - where there are MANY more cast parts), there are a multitude of smaller cast parts throughout the car. You cannot make the claim you just did.
This was discussed in 2021, lol.

Doesn't look like Flash to me. Part of it could be for monitoring the materials process, but those there look like parts. And you know what they say...

Bullish. If you're going to build factories on Mars, you've got to optimise everything involved in the production process. Energy, volume, weight, materials, waste, speed, low staff. Those are the targets Elon needs to get close to, might as well trial, iterate, improve on Earth. How does a...

There is a excellent post of the Boring Co from @Gigapress here:- Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
The latest (unofficial) update on the Boring co is here:-
The relevance of the Boring Co is that if the Boring Co is successful EVs are bugger part of the transport solution meaning that Tesla seels more cars.
The Boring Co can also potentially reshape cities into much more liveable spaces that are enjoyable and relaxing to inhabit.
I'm going to focus on one particular redevelopment opportunity below.
