TODAY'S BIG QUESTION:
@Grok Can Your Truth Seeking Code Block Determine If Tesla's Cybertruck Battery Needs Have Fallen By This Incredible Amount?
ELECTREK: Tesla 4680 Battery Supply Chain Collapses
A major link in Tesla's 4680 battery supply chain has just snapped.
South Korean battery material supplier L&F Co. announced today that the value of its massive supply deal with Tesla has been slashed by over 99%, signaling a catastrophic drop in demand for the automaker's in-house battery cells.
MORE FROM THE ARTICLE: Right now, Tesla's Cybertruck is the only vehicle using the automaker's own 4680 cells. In a regulatory filing today, L&F revealed that the contract's value has been written down to just $7,386.

BUT, BUT, BUT... Tesla Is Now An AI Company....
Batteries? We don't care about batteries. Tesla is an AI company ...
-Elon Musk,formerly an auto builder
SURPRISE: Yes, Tesla identifies as primarily an AI and robotics company, focusing on advanced artificial intelligence for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, Optimus humanoid robots, and leveraging its fleet for data.
tesla.com/AI#:~:text=We de….
However, this view is debated by critics who see it as more of a car manufacturer using AI, not a pure-play AI firm.
CEO Elon Musk emphasizes AI's central role, viewing cars as data-gathering robots for their neural networks.
ARGUMENTS FOR TESLA AS AN AI COMPANY:
>>> Vision-Based AI: Tesla uses deep neural networks, processing data from its cars' cameras to understand roads and objects, enabling autonomy.
>>> Hardware Development: They design custom AI chips (like the Dojo supercomputer) to power their AI training and inference.
>>> Robotics: The Optimus humanoid robot is a core AI/robotics project, intended for tasks in factories and beyond.
>>> Musk's Stance: Elon Musk explicitly calls Tesla an AI company, equating its value to its AI capabilities.
ARGUMENTS FOR TESLA AS AN AUTOMOTIVE/TECH HYBRID
>>> Core Product:Despite the AI focus, Tesla still manufactures and sells electric vehicles, a traditional automotive function.
>>> AI Integration:Critics argue their AI advancements are primarily for improving their car features (FSD), not creating standalone AI products like some other tech giants.
>>> Competition:Other automakers are also developing significant autonomous driving tech, blurring the lines.
THE SOMEWHAT CORRECT ANSWER IS:
In essence, Tesla operates as a tech company built around AI, with cars as its primary platform for data collection and deployment, but it's still fundamentally tied to the automotive industry.
