Since the AMD GPUs are so powerful, it seems they are a wasted resource while the Model S cars sit parked in our garages. As I understand it, the 2021 Model S, once available, has a bunch of these AMD processors. In many parts of the U.S., electricity CO2 emissions reach their lowest late at night. It seems that the 'fleet' could return some serious renewable-generated BTC during these hours -- simply by applying the dormant AMD processors.

As an example, the Texas grid reached 50% wind generation on the grid for 17.5 days in 2021 (of 164 days, so far). These 'over 50% green days' are only going higher in the next few years.
