A drone operator flying over the Tesla Fremont factory is spotting thousands of front vehicle casting being stored at the factory. He also found one of the castings by itself so its shape can be seen. Castings for in production vehicles would normally not be stored in such high numbers. There was an accumulation of castings for Tesla Cybertrucks before the volume production of Cybertruck started.
IF these new casting are the new lower cost Tesla Model this would mean the start of volume production is 2-6 weeks away.
There is discussion of achieving the lower cost car by using the new plastic body panels, smaller batteries and 48 volt architecture.
