Part 6/8:
One of the most significant advantages of being a full-stack AI company is the ability to control every aspect of the development cycle. Tesla’s in-house chips and data centers need not rely on external suppliers, resulting in streamlined processes that enhance product reliability and innovation speed.
This independence extends to the products stemming from their AI advancements, such as robo-taxis and humanoid bots. Unlike other competitors who purchase components from various suppliers—introducing inefficiencies through necessity for integration—Tesla can optimize its supply chain for maximum effectiveness.
