TSMC has more work to do with some new orders from Tesla for its 4nm node technology. This is the first manufacturer to get its hands on the Taiwanese company’s new nodes.
TSMC: Tesla becomes the first customer for its 4nm nodes
Tesla appears to be the first electric vehicle manufacturer to order a large batch of TSMC’s 4nm and 5nm node processors, immediately becoming one of the seven largest customers the manufacturer currently has.
Until now, the processor supplier for Tesla electric vehicles was Samsung, which provided 14 nm and even 7 nm chips in the past. Now things are going to be different, with Tesla relying on TSMC for its new advanced chips with 4nm and 5nm nodes, which are going to be used in the Hardware 3.5/4.0 chips, or whatever Tesla decides to call its next-generation autonomous driving system. The new FSD platform will reportedly be three times faster than the current edition made with a 7nm node.
GREAT NEWS: TSMC is reportedly to produce 4/5nm FSD chip for Tesla starting in 2023. If confirmed, Tesla would be among TSMC’s top 7 clients and 1st EV client ever. pic.twitter.com/7rS4qoo8Ja

Tesla’s ‘Autopilot’ solution is embroiled in a growing number of controversies and regulatory investigations. This could be making the task of certifying the self-driving system higher than Level 3 more difficult in the foreseeable future. The new chips are going to be tasked with improving image processing speed.
