Actually, the first batch are among the best as they're combed over closely being hand built.

I am more aggressive than that, but.. YEA! There will definitely be Cybertrucks on the streets this time next year.

Is this Giga Press an injection machine or a stamping machine? If it’s a stamping machine, will the building be able to withstand the vibrations around the machine or will the columns start to crack and crumble?

It is a die casting machine.

Injects melted aluminum into a form at high pressure.

I don’t think you can stamp aluminum at all. It’s too brittle.

Extrusion is usually more like this.

You can, but usually it's heat treated. It's all about 'how deep can you press it?' and 'how sharp of details can you imprint on it?' Aluminum isn't so good on the latter.

Most cooking ware (pots and pans) is stamped aluminum.

I hope that we can see the CT out and about hitting hard trails, and showing us what our money will be getting.

It’s a die casting machine - high pressure injection

Do you think that they don’t know what they are doing? You can go back and review they isolation pits they made early in the construction process. Plenty adequate.
