Someone with a few thousand dollars for materials and the right machinery can manufacture chips that would have been high-end in the 80s in their garage. Chips comparably powerful to ones that would have cost thousands in the early 2000s can be had for like $30 now. Tesla being able to manufacturer cheap old chips wouldn't be impressive even if it were true, which as you put out it's not even true.
According to natopedia, the fastest computer in the world in 2000 was ASCI White at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which could do 4.93 teraflops at the time.
I recently got an RX 9060 XT, a midrange graphics card. It can do 25.64 teraflops.
