The Tegra X1 was also originally, rumoredly, not meant for Nintendo. https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-launches-tegra-x1-mobile-super-chip https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-launches-tegra-x1-... It was going to be for "Deep Learning," "Computer Vision Applications," "NVIDIA DRIVE car computers," and robots. As we know, outside of some Tesla models, that didn't really happen. Rumoredly, according to people who have read the leaked Nintendo documents (Modern Vintage Gamer has implied it in replies to comments on his videos), NVIDIA had found the bug with the recovery mode before the Switch's launch; but Nintendo couldn't just move the announced Switch launch date to wait for a chip revision, especially after the Wii U financial performance. So, off it went and they just had to cross fingers and hope nobody found it. Nintendo probably got a good discount for that mistake too.

> As we know, outside of some Tesla models, that didn't really happen. As YOU know. The Tegra X1 (which the switch used) was never used in any production automotive application, correct. But you mentioned Tesla, so let's talk about other Tegra generations. Other Tegra generations were used in Teslas in varying quantities (Tegra 2, 3, and K1). Mercedes has been shipping Tegra in their "MBUX" cars for a few years now as well. A couple of Chinese companies are shipping Tegra via NVD. Volvo, Land Rover, and Jaguar are also going to be shipping it shortly as well.

  I don't know why you accuse me as though I said something wrong, and then immediately admit that, yes, the Tegra X1 was never used in any production automotive application. That's what I was talking about - not Tegra as a whole. The only mistake I made was that the Tegra X1 wasn't used in any Tesla models.

    This is news for nerds. Precision is important! So they fixed your statement. I found it interesting.

      Precision may be important, but is accuracy? ;)

    Sorry, I said you were correct, when in fact you weren't.
