For years, a little-known company called Tooling & Equipment International (TEI) has helped Tesla push back the frontiers of "gigacasting", the process it pioneered to cast large body parts for cars in one piece to save time and money.
I can find no evidence that TEI is instrumental in the gigacasting manufacturing process.
…gigacasting takes a couple hundred pounds of material and makes chassis parts. cars have parts besides the chassis. lots of them. how many “small metal casings” are in cars in general?

Sand castings are produced in specialized factories called foundries. In 2003, over 60% of all metal castings were produced via sand casting.[1]
