Ease up on the ketamine Elon 🤣 What happened to “DOJO” 🤣
Careful, the TesBros will jump in and hail this as a revolution and absolute proof Elon deserves to be their god. Smart people know its just more Elon BS and he should of been kicked to the curb by the spineless Tesla board during his romance with Trump and Nazi salutes.
Flying boat car super computing taxis
Its almost like that would slow charging or prevent charging
He's just throwing random buzz words together now lol
Grasping for straws.

Lol you have a point.
“Your tesla can go out at night and earn you money!”
“Why does my car have an Onlyfans?”
Doesn’t anyone have a memory? This is a recycled delusion.
There are hundreds of millions of PC’s and Macs with more computing power than a his car. Such a desperate man, out of ideas.
Extremely dumb, yet I have to admit this seems like a better idea than “turn your personal vehicle into a robotaxi”.
At the cost of range; people will need an extra charging stop for a lot of trips if they step into the vehicle and notice that they battery has been depleted a lot more than they thought lol or I guess with the app they can watch their car‘s battery deplete live, as if it was a sports game. And I doubt it would be as cost efficient as just regular data center compute, regardless of the fact that you already own the car. Could only make financial sense (for the company, not the car owner that is) if Tesla gets its followers to let them use their car for that for free, or for very cheap. This is an unserious idea that will never happen, and V2G or V2H is a lot more useful to everybody.
Here is a delusion he could say: just imagine driving on a family vacation trip and the car says ‘hey my mining capability has earned us a block of 3.125 bitcoin. How about that? Vacation upgraded and tuition for little Jimmy paid!’
Yeah, but last time it was Bitcoin mining.
(It still is)
Its nonsense. De mobile bandwith will cost more than the computer power will paid. Electric prices at charging spots are WAY higher than in datacenters. Your computers will wear al lot more & faster, who's gonna pay for that? Plus they are single task computers not even usable for cloud computing at all. Completely bullocks.
Not sure where Elon brain goes but I know more false promise to come at cost of shareholders money to achieve 1T
Brings a different meaning to “Pimp My Ride.”
But at least this time they're not saying it *out loud*.
Another trillion dollar idea from Elon Musk!
Knowing the Muskrat it will be a supercomputer to mine Doge for him.
Robots, too. When is he going to introduce us to the Bumblebee model?
As a HW3 owner I don't think I would add much compute compared to even basic server hardware.
Just mine crypto
So they want to tap resources belonging to someone else, which also I'm sure involves spying on them, not to mention using up energy they don't pay for.
He doesn't put his ketamine brain in gear before engaging his mouth. It's on Full Self Delusion mode.
Unsold cyber trucks = most expensive server farm ever 🤣
Neuralinked to respond by thought.
Just wait til people have to clean up the pecker trails in their Robotaxis before going to work every morning.
Deus ex machina.
I, for one, was looking forward to retrieving my car from the ditch it had driven itself into and cleaning it of assorted bodily fluids before driving to work in the morning.
This is an old idea. I thought he'd realized it was a dumb and moved on ... apparently not. What's the bet Tesla has already trialed it without the vehicle owners consent. Tesla have now been caught spying on their customers via the cars cameras, turning off critical FSD data recording before a crash and the installed AI has attempted soliciting nudes from minors. No one in their right mind should feel comfortable owning one of these rolling privacy breaches.
Like anything L. Ron Musk says, it's not an original thought at all. Many years ago there was a screensaver app that allegedly would help process data for SETI while your computer was idle.
More and more I think Elon is just an 11 year old autistic narcissist kid with too much money for his own good. All his ideas seem to come straight from an 11 years old diary. It worries me that there are still people who see him a some visionnary genius.
\> I doubt it would be as cost efficient as just regular data center It should be obvious after all these years that the king of ketamine is economically illiterate, as are his cult members. The only thing more insane than this is going to Mars.
You see the pattern here. All the "investments" he pushes are based on empty promises for the future whether it be crypto, TSLA or any of his other vaporware factories.
Great idea for recycling cybertrucks
And the cult cheers and posts about it.
Yes. Please... Let this be the idea stupid enough to kill Tesla.
Using them as drug hubs ! That’s the only way your Tesla is gonna make owners money.
That one got lapped by every competitor multiple time before it left the garage
Musk is truly a New Economy Guy, offloading the costs of running his business to the consumer, and making the consume assume all the costs and risks while he earns all the profit. See also: Airbnb, Uber/Lyft, Doordash, etc.
So his distributed computing network will be powered by individual owners' electricity bills? What incentive would anyone have to participate in something like this? Now, if he wants to install free solar panels and infrastructure at my house, I'd happily but a brand new MY and let him do it.
Or worse. Drunks will be using them as rolling porta potties
It’s like listening to the ideas of a sugar fueled stream of consciousness from a 7 year old in the backseat heading home from a birthday party.
Or barf bags.
Why? Not like the hardware in a Tesla is some supercomputer. Probably would be cheaper to cluster a bunch of raspberry pis
Just saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrexitMemes/s/pFWZJ9oIxH
I looked into that for my PC which has decent computing power. The problem is that home computers aren't very useful as part of a cloud. Hardware is inconsistent, data transfer is spotty and takes up time, municipal power costs eat up a good chunk of the benefit, and devices unpredictably go offline. The Tesla cloud would lead to consistent hardware, but you're still dealing with data transfer, power costs, devices going offline, etc. Maybe they could do it for training their own ML, but I think it would be more a PR stunt than a useful source of compute.
Oh he’s probably realized it’s not feasible a few times already when Tesla engineers have told him as much. Question is whether he actually remembers those conversations or if he was on a K bender at the time. The other question is if he remembers but just thinks enough Tesla investors and Elon fanboys won’t remember he’s said this before and will now giddily decide this latest idea adds another $1T to the future market cap of Tesla and buy more stock to get in early.
See, YOU don't really own your Tesla. Felon does, to do with as he wishes.
I'm going to disagree, let's let him have free access to the K.
>He suggests up to 100 million Teslas Whoa, whoa, where are there 100 million teslas? Is this his new solution to dwindling sales? Sell Teslas to xAI to use as servers.
I swear he overhears kids boring their parents with insane ideas and packages them up for investors to throw money at.
Didn't they do this with cellular phones on Silicon Valley?
who pays the bill?
I think most everyone on this reddit concluded this long ago. The problem is the unfettered worship and the ketamine makes it worse as time goes on. The recent stock grant adds to that.
"Hey thanks for coming back to your car after that nice meal, are you ready for you 45 minute drive home? Good well it's going to start with you figuring out how to get to a super charger with 3% battery left, papa Elon used all your power for AI powered Bitcoin mining and earned you less than it's going to take you to charge your car back up at the super charger!!!"
>Maybe they could do it for training their own ML Nah it wouldn't be viable. Memory bandwidth is god when it comes to training. That's why all the top Nvidia AI cards have memory bandwidth that would have been science fiction a decade ago. Trying to run something like that distributed over thousands of nodes connected by slow Internet connections just wouldn't work. As a way to scrape investment dollar hype from the gullible though...
I was thinking if the cards could run the models they could do some training. But at the very least you need to download a bunch of labelled data to train on, and then send all the gradients back upstream.
Sell lies of news. Tesla cult would belive anything from him. From flying Yesla, robot army, travel to outer space. Why not warping Tesla. Scott beam me up!
Sorry but people who bought the cars own the cars. Is he going to pay them for the computer time? How will that affect the fees for internet connections etc. and ya what happened to Dojo. Was that Vaporware too?
You really think Elon would give the owner a cut? Grok would just laugh at their stupidity and ask their kids for nudes.
Remember the app, I think it was called Folding At Home, that was supposed to help scientists work on proteins and vaccines?
The connection costs alone are going to be more than just putting together a data center where everything is in a closed consisent environment. As far as "training" goes, we all know that there will be pranksters and others feeding in false data just to get their jabs in.
"His" ideas mostly come from old science fiction/fantasy. In some cases he "invents" things that already exists, though I find it hard to believe anyone is really that ignorant. Anyone thinking he's any type of genius is either stupid or just too lazy to do even the smallest amount of research into these matters.
"Oh and sorry but we drove some drunk home from the bar, and he blew chunks all over the seat."
On the other hand, what sort of workloads need very little bandwidth, lots of compute power and fit into small chunks that you don't worry too much if the computer goes offline while working on it... Crypto mining. Which I'm sure is what this "AI training" Musk is blabbing on about would turn out to be.
Tesla owners have long been reporting massive data transfers of many GB per day, and batteries draining while parked. Sure, some can be explained by HVAC and driving logs for FSD I guess, but just maybe they have already been leveraging the owners' cars for Tesla computing needs without informing the customer.
In 2010 or so I looked into using my computer for something while I was away. I bought a fancy new computer for work. I knew about SETI but it seemed unrealistic to find aliens so I kept looking and came across some other options. Ultimately I settled on trying to do some good by running Folding@Home to try to help cure diseases or something. Because what are you gonna do with some program that tries to find fake coins and might not even find one for a few days?
Oh good, so these shitty vehicles will burn through even more battery life while idling than they already do.
To mine crypto, so he can have more money before he gets dragged to hell for all eternity
Yah, right. His tiny computer can not even identify STOP sign or handicapped parking.
so when its kills your battery or your kills your main board and your car is useless you can thank elon for the 5 dollars he pays you.
Question shall be at whose cost? The owners are paying the electric bill, aren’t they?
Yeah more ways for my car to destroy itself faster. Robotaxi = kill your battery faster then have to pay tesla $18k for a new one. This = kill your cars brain faster and have to pay tesla $4k for a new one.
We proposed it when I worked for PlayStation. They have hundreds of millions of GPUs, and always connected. Nobody bothered.
Idiotic
As if I needed another reason not to buy a Tesla.
This one is hilarious. We can also turn our smart tvs into super computers while idle. Or smart fridges, vacuums, so on. Everything can be smart expect those who still think tesla is a good company.
Telsa is the pinnacle of you will own nothing. And legally you do not own the software in the car.
Hmmmm..won’t that drain my parked cars’ battery ????
I thought parked Teslas were going to be used as robotaxis?
I mean, it’s got consistent computers that have some capability, but you’re talking a handful of them in each vehicle surrounded by all of that other shit… As opposed to a server rack where specialized hardware is all packed in as space efficiently as possible
Maybe the cars don’t know that he’s turning them into the matrix. Is someone going to offer to red pill the cars?
This will never happen. Pure delusion
He should try creating an original idea; SETI has been doing this for years. There’s a couple of problems here: There is VAST more computing power elsewhere, no comparison. Why focus on getting 0.01% more? Few applications can divide the workload that well. SETI was an exception since they could get a compute node to look at a small small fraction of the data (checking for radio broadcasts from intelligent beings).
The car has thousand of dollars of nvidia GPUs for real time FSR processing.
Gonna use parked teslas to mine bitcoin 🤣
Wouldn’t it be better to do this with desktop/laptop computers that don’t have cars that need to be charged? Tesla could release a gaming computer that can be used for computation stuff when not in use for example.
Thousands of dollars? Gonna need a source on that.
Why would you want to let your car work for him and make more cash for him anyway?
Don‘t Tesla‘s have a more energy consumption than expected when parked? They might already do that.
>This = kill your cars brain faster and have to pay tesla $4k for a new one. Frankly this is the least of what anyone should worry about Worry about the electricty price Not computer that will be obsolete in 5-10 years and will probably last decades and decades if cooled properly
