At the heart of the Model 2’s design is Tesla’s innovative unibody giga casting technology, which allows for the vehicle’s chassis to be produced in one robust aluminum piece. This approach reduces the number of moving parts from over 2,000 in conventional cars to fewer than 200, resulting in a lighter, more rigid, and crash-resistant structure. The Model 2 is expected to weigh under 3,000 pounds, drastically improving efficiency and safety.
