This is a fantasy. Tesla sells cars, not chips. A chip manufacturing company can sell 1M chips this year and 100M two years from now. A car company cannot even go from 1M to 2M without a lot of effort. It is not a business that can scale easily, especially not at the price point at which Tesla is operating.

A more proper comparison might be revenue instead of units sold. Otherwise I could compare Intel's 8051 sales figures which dwarf AMD's gpu sales figures.

(and tesla does make their own chips)
