Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday confirmed the electric vehicle maker’s hotly-anticipated light-duty Cybertruck will be built by a new 9,000-ton Giga Press built by die casting company Idra Group.

What Happened

The billionaire entrepreneur was responding to a Twitter post showing a video of a new 9,000-ton Giga Press being assembled.

Musk replied to the post saying the Cybertruck body will be made with the new Giga Press. The world’s richest man did not provide further details on whether the machine will build the under or the upper body of the vehicle.
