Elon Musk says idling Tesla cars could create massive 100-million-vehicle strong computer for AI — 'bored' vehicles could offer 100 gigawatts of distributed compute power

Elon Musk suggested during Tesla's Q3 2025 earnings call that idle Tesla cars could form a massive computer network for AI, potentially offering 100 gigawatts of compute power when bored. Musk also discussed plans to expand Tesla production to three million vehicles annually, with a focus on the Cyber Cab. Additionally, he hinted at a killer app for new Tesla models and expressed confidence in achieving unsupervised full self-driving capabilities. The proposal to utilize idle car processing power for AI tasks has sparked interest but may raise concerns among users about electricity usage and system durability.
