Learning a bit more about Tesla Computers

[dloop]

As a new owner I was recently nudged by some nice folks here that I could benefit from a better understanding of the computers onboard my Model 3.

A couple resources I found most helpful in my learning that I thought I would share in case others other are looking to get up to speed too:

High-level overview. Reinforces that the MCU and AP are entirely separate computing systems:
Autopilot, Processors and Hardware – MCU & HW Demystified | TeslaTap

Overview (from June 2018) up through HW2.5 w/Nvidia:

Amazing presentation by Pete Bannon on HW3 architecture (w/Tesla's new custom chip) :

Please share others if you have them. thx

First video is something I haven't seen. I wish the audio were louder and not so monotone. He put me to sleep
As for Pete, I understand much of what Pete says (being an electronics engineer), but for a general audience, he really should be put some things in more of a layman's terms. The wife started playing games on her phone when he started talking
Thanks for the link

Laymen were not the primary audience.

yes, I understand, but the room was full of mostly financial people and a couple of them even commented that they understood "some" of what he said.

Some analysts are "just" financial people. Many are not and have experience or educational backgrounds in the fields they cover -- one guy who used to cover my previous company was an MD/JD with an MS in physics (and, IIRC, an MA in history).

"...Tesla has leapfrogged the automotive industry by four years— Tesla’s FSD is effectively an Orin-class product shipping today rather than in 2023."
