I think I missed something about the battery pack…..the battery pack itself is 1300 pounds on the Model “S” and it’s composed of thousands of individual cells connected together. So when we are talking battery cases, are we referring to the individual cell cases or the compartment they sit in. The compartment is large and is structural so that fits with previous comments.

Raises a second issue…if it’s big…how is it manufactured on our equipment?….it certainly isn’t 100 one pound chunks snapped together which sends me on another tangent

Manufacturing with the106 alloy requires an oxygen free environment to ensure quality…is it possible that the magnesium based BMG doesn’t have this requirement? This would be a big breakthrough and would open the possibility of processing BMG parts on Tesla’s Mega-Moulding machines. Some sort of process modification to open the manufacturing window would be incredibly impactful.
