The most interesting addition might be the onboard power system: a 3 kW output at 120V and 220V that turns the snowmobile into a mobile generator, capable of powering a remote cabin through a winter storm.

Tesla AI6 chip delayed ~6 months as Samsung 2nm production slips

Electrek

Tesla’s next-generation AI6 chi, the processor designed to power its autonomous vehicles, Optimus robots, and AI data center, has been delayed by approximately six months.
