That article states that they are retracting to their previous method of gigacasting.

The one that other carmakers are starting to use too, inspired by Tesla.

It actually says that they were attempting to gigacast their new vehicle as a single piece rather than three pieces, but that proved difficult so they are going back to gigacasting three separate pieces.

But your point stands: they are still gigacasting, just for now they are not doing the very ambitious "gigacast in a single bound" plan.

"Elons whim that resulted in great innovation" as ghostcluster put it referred to gigacasting as three pieces, not gigacasting as one.

sho_hn's comment could have been read as gigacasting being a failure. It is not.

Probably related to them dumping the model 2 project.
