So the big deal with the Tesla Giga press is they avoid this step right?  Or minimize it substantially is what I understand.  But maybe I'm totally mistaken

The giga press is quite a impressive machine, literally a massive moulding system that can one piece the construction. Shame to say 'tesla giga press' though.

It's just tesla marketing. The presses are made by the Italian company Idra. Tesla was just an early adopter.

The presses are made by the Italian company Idra.

Just to note, they're not presses. That again, is Tesla marketing, for whatever reason. Those are cast pieces, made in a high-pressure die casting machine. Maybe they felt "GigaCast" didn't roll off the tongue.
