🔄 From Dojo to Hybrid AI

Old Strategy (Dojo)	New Strategy (AI5/AI6 + Partners)
Vertical, in-house D1 chip + Dojo cluster	Hybrid: Tesla focuses on in-car chips; partners handle large-scale compute
Goal: independence from Nvidia	Goal: rapid deployment + reduced costs
Risk: high CapEx, long timeline	Risk: supply chain reliance
Outcome: dead end	Outcome: faster FSD + Optimus progress

📊 Market Impact

🔮 Future Outlook

🤖 Optimus Robot – AI5/AI6 chips will power onboard autonomy.
🚕 Robotaxi Network – Accelerated FSD deployment for revenue.
⚙️ Partnerships – Nvidia/Samsung collaborations reduce risk.
