According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla is set to launch its AI-powered auto insurance program in Tennessee, scheduled for March 1, 2026. The insurance features a Full Self-Driving (FSD) discount, calculated based on the percentage of miles driven using Tesla’s FSD system each month. This move highlights the integration of advanced AI technologies in insurance products, creating new business opportunities for AI-driven risk assessment and personalized pricing in the auto insurance industry. The deployment of FSD data for insurance discounts demonstrates how machine learning and real-time analytics can optimize policyholder incentives and improve road safety, setting a precedent for future AI applications in the insurance sector (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter).

According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Elon Musk's xAI is significantly expanding its AI datacenter infrastructure in Tennessee by installing dozens more Tesla Megapacks. These new installations are in addition to the $400 million worth of Megapacks already deployed at the site in recent months (Source: Sawyer Merritt, @SawyerMerritt, Twitter, Jan 5, 2026). This upgrade highlights a growing trend in the AI industry toward integrating advanced energy storage solutions for large-scale AI model training and deployment. The use of Tesla Megapacks allows xAI to support high-density compute operations more sustainably, offering clear business advantages in energy reliability and operational scalability for AI datacenters.
