Sandy Munro Reveals the "Mega Casting" Hidden Within a Tesla Model Y
I have a 2009 Jetta with blocks of foam dropped in different places between the trim and the chassis. I think this has been pretty common since around 2000. It's why cars have gotten so quiet over the years.
I wonder how the giant castings will endure. They must be made incredibly stiff to avoid fatigue cracking in the long term.
Thanks for pointing this out!
