It is unbelievable to me the resources Tesla is expending on machine learning and automatic driving. They've transcended GPUs (12,000 wasn't enough) and are designing their own chips for custom supercomputers now.</div>

<div>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
<i>needed </i>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.
