Possibly a 12k press could be used to cast the roof, front and back fenders, with dash area supports with Pillar A, B and C going down to the chassis. The chassis would likely be made from three parts the front end cast, the battery tray and the back end cast. Just looking at a toy car, the upper part is separate from the bottom part. Moving parts (e.g., doors, hood and etc.) are added after. They must be planning to use a 12k press if they are developing it. If this info/rumour is accurate of course.This video is more about the nitty gritty of the Gigapress. He suggests a 12k press is unlikely because it doesn’t make sense to use a gigapress to make the battery tray.
