Tesla begins work in Austin on Musk’s chip design plant: See the photos

Construction is seen north of the Tesla Giga Texas factory in Austin on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. CEO Elon Musk said Tesla and SpaceX are planning the world’s largest chip manufacturing plant, called Terafab, but said this site would be used ...

10,000 satellites & a TeraFab chip factory

40 percent of everything ever launched from Earth is a SpaceX satellite currently in orbit. And then there’s the TeraFab. The Austin facility will house equipment for logic, memory, packaging, testing, and lithography mask production in a single building in order to produce chips for Tesla's vehicles and Optimus humanoid robots, plus higher-power chips hardened for the space environment.

Musk's TeraFab Redefines AI Chip Manufacturing - AI CERTs News

ASML, Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA dominate critical manufacturing process steps. Additionally, Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix provide advanced memory dies. Therefore, TeraFab must place multi-billion-dollar orders years in advance. So far, public filings show no firm purchase orders for EUV or immersion lithography tools.

Will Musk’s $25 Billion Terafab Gamble Redefine the Global Chip Supply?

A 2nm fab requires multiple High-NA EUV lithography systems from ASML. These machines cost hundreds of millions of dollars and have waitlists that span years. We have not seen any confirmed orders from Tesla in the ASML backlog yet. The clock for a fab does not start when a press release is issued; it starts when the equipment slots are secured. Furthermore, a facility like Terafab requires thousands of specialized engineers.
