By 2027, Tesla may produce 4M+ chips/year for 3M cars + 1M Optimus (plus semis/forklifts). Excess goes to data centers (xAI: 2–10GW initially, scaling to 100GW+ needing 50M–1B chips). Once space AI costs drop below Earth-based, growth becomes exponential (billion → trillion chips). Grok 4.2 “any day” (signs via internal testing). Grok 5 in January.
