Micron, as in 0.00004"? Yes you COULD hold it, with second ops and temp control.
Comment on Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy” Cybertruck Parts

These tolerances are very possible to hold while machining, but speaking from my perspective having been a machinist by trade for 20+ years, holding those tolerances for every single part on a vehicle is going to get prohibitively expensive really fucking fast.

The article states “sub 10 micron”, which I interpreted to be +/- .0004" in practice
curiousPJ@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The total tolerance is .0004". In equally disposed bilateral tolerancing it will be ±.0002".

Elon: “Stacking” tolerances? No, we will not tolerate anything less than micron precision on every aspect of the design.

He’s probably hyper self conscious about people ripping into Teslas over their clearances (measured in millimetres). But, no, instead of saying “VW can produce stuff that doesn’t look like it fell from a truck and you will figure it out, too” he’s going overboard.

If we’re going overboard, why bother with cars at all? Just use this cheesy blueprint, make it work and solve all of humanity’s problems! This is what California should invest in instead of trains.
