Wedoany.com Report, On March 12 local time, Elon Musk posted on the X platform (formerly Twitter), revealing Tesla's latest plans in the integration of artificial intelligence and energy infrastructure. Musk stated that "Digital Optimus" will be applied to all cars equipped with AI4. He further added: "We are also deploying millions of dedicated Digital Optimus units, placing them at Supercharger stations with available power of approximately 7 gigawatts."

This statement reveals that Tesla is building a distributed AI computing power system covering its vehicle fleet and charging network. The so-called "Digital Optimus" can be understood as an AI entity or service running on end-user devices, its name clearly echoing Tesla's previously announced humanoid robot "Optimus." Deploying Digital Optimus to cars equipped with AI4 hardware means Tesla's vehicle fleet itself will become mobile AI computing nodes.

Even more noteworthy is the combination of the "dedicated Digital Optimus units" mentioned by Musk and the 7-gigawatt Supercharger station power. Seven gigawatts is equivalent to the generating capacity of several large nuclear power plants. If such a massive power reserve is combined with AI computing power deployment, it will form a distributed computing infrastructure of staggering scale. These units may handle AI training and inference, data services, or other high-density computing tasks, while Supercharger stations will not only provide energy replenishment but also serve as the physical carriers for these computing nodes.

Currently, Tesla has not disclosed the specific functions and application scenarios of "Digital Optimus." However, judging from Musk's statements, this is not merely a software-level upgrade but also involves the deployment of hardware units, with a scale counted in "millions." Considering Tesla's布局 in autonomous driving, humanoid robots, and the energy business, Digital Optimus may become a key technological link connecting these business segments.
