According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Elon Musk announced that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Unsupervised system is 'pretty much solved at this point,' with robotaxis set to launch in Austin, Texas within three weeks and operating without safety monitors. Musk also revealed that Tesla is validating a new, more compact AI model for immediate deployment, with a significantly larger FSD model featuring advanced reasoning and reinforcement learning to be released by early 2026. To support large-scale AI development, Musk stated Tesla may need to build its own chip fabrication facility to meet the demand for hundreds of gigawatts of AI computing power annually. This signals a major leap in autonomous vehicle technology and positions Tesla as a leader in AI hardware infrastructure (Source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter, Dec 10, 2025).
