TLDR: GPU's get used in a lot of places. I didn't know tesla used them for
tensor processing. Or they needed tensor flow processing at all. Would that
be for the self driving mode? Anyway: a big kvech in gaming cercles: no
parts to get even *needed  *part replacements since a lot is in the hands
of crypto minners, or just available. I'll give this a bit of a bullwhip
rating.
