> What they want is a training engine that is cheaper than whatever AWS or Google (or anyone else) can offer.

Bold assumption, considering Tesla's hardware does not exist, the market is limited and Google has already years of providing machine learning services with special purpose hardware.

Their hardware. They have, at best, 1 supercomputer (though it's not actually clear if they have more than some Dojo prototypes to me). That does not a cloud make.

Ah yes, I see that now. But assuming they make the computer, they could also lease it to one or more cloud providers as a service. They don't necessarily have to build the whole thing.

Kind of what Cray/HPE does with Microsoft's Azure - you could get your very own Cray to run your workloads.

Sadly, not a very interesting one running UNICOS or NOS/VE...
