Terafab's 100M Sq Ft Scale Dwarfs Giga Texas and Iconic Landmarks
Terafab is projected at ~100 million square feet, 10x larger than Giga Texas's main building, equivalent to 15 Pentagons or 3 NYC Central Parks, spanning 3.6 square miles. Driving past it at 75 MPH would take far longer than Giga Texas, highlighting why it won't fit on existing campus. Emphasis on unprecedented size blows minds across posts.
Read as thread →"100 million square feet is equivalent to: • 3 New York Central Parks • 15 U.S. Pentagons • 2,300 acres • 3.6 square miles"
— @SawyerMerritt
"Now Elon is saying the Terafab will be 100M sq ft, that’s 10x larger than this!"
— @Teslaconomics
Key Points
- 100M sq ft = 10x Giga Texas main building
- Comparisons: 15 Pentagons, 1,736 football fields, 23 Disneylands
- Too big for Giga Texas property
