Tesla AI6 chip delayed ~6 months as Samsung 2nm production slips

/in /by

The delay adds to a growing pattern of chip timeline slippage for Tesla, which is still waiting on its AI5 chip to reach volume production after Elon Musk said the design was “almost done” in January — six months after claiming it was “finished.”
