Tesla wants to sell modular AI data center hardware, according to a new trademark application for a product called “Megapod.”
The filing describes a complete, self-contained computing system for AI workloads — and it lands less than a year after Tesla killed Dojo, its only in-house AI training computer.
What the ‘Megapod’ filing actually describes
Tesla filed the “Megapod” trademark (serial number 99893717) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this month, through its longtime IP counsel. It’s an intent-to-use application, meaning Tesla is claiming the name for a product it hasn’t launched yet.
The goods-and-services description is unusually specific for a trademark. Megapod covers “modular data center hardware systems for artificial intelligence computing, comprised of computer servers, computer hardware for artificial intelligence data processing, networking equipment, power distribution units, and cooling systems.”
