Tesla moves into modular AI data centre hardware with Megapod trademark filing
Tesla is pushing into modular artificial intelligence data centre hardware after filing a trademark for “Megapod” in the United States.

Tesla also describes a self-contained modular computing unit with downloadable software for monitoring and optimisation. The move would put Tesla into competition with Nvidia-backed platforms, while Tesla remains a major Nvidia customer and has faced delays in its own AI chip plans.
