Perhaps the most technically interesting aspect of the AI1 is its primary compute component: the D3 chip (also referenced internally as AI7 within SpaceX's "Terafab" chip architecture).
According to an X post from Sawyer Merritt circulating this week, Musk described Terafab as a roughly 100 million square foot facility, about 10 times larger than Tesla’s Giga Texas factory, with a long-term output target of ...
Tesla and SpaceX’s AI chip factory, “Terafab”, will be massive: ✅ 100 million sq. ft. (9.29 million m²) ✅ 10× larger than Tesla’s Giga Texas ✅ Output of 1 TW of compute per year (roughly 2× current annual U.S. power consumption) https://t.co/qXeKoo5xl4
Tesla's robotaxis could eventually ... are also expected to collaborate on Terafab, a proposed semiconductor manufacturing facility in Texas involving Tesla, SpaceX, and Intel....
Over the next century, SpaceX should get even more vertically integrated by producing its own AI chips through a venture it calls Terafab: a chip manufacturing initiative with a long-term goal of producing one terawatt of compute hardware each year.
Market observers expect these funds will finance Musk’s ambitious Terafab initiative — an extensive semiconductor fabrication endeavor jointly controlled by SpaceX and Tesla. ASML’s advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems represent critical infrastructure for this undertaking.
Tesla’s Terafab hires ex-Intel vet Gary Jiang, boosting hopes for Intel’s 14A chip process and prospects vs. TSMC.
The supply chain remains a major question. Musk has also announced Terafab, a proposed Texas chip project meant to produce 1 terawatt of compute power per year, much of it for space use.
Musk has also described a convergence ... are collaborating on Terafab, a planned Texas semiconductor fabrication plant that would produce chips for Tesla's EVs, robotaxis, and Optimus robots, as well as chips designed for SpaceX's ...
In March, Tesla also joined the Terafab chip factory initiative, which aims to build a semiconductor manufacturing base with 1 terawatt of total AI computing power—equivalent to 50 times the entire world's current aggregate AI computing output.

Terafab doesn’t need to ship a single chip to change anything about the current negotiation.
NAVASOTA — Forget Big Brother, it’s Big Tech that is very much on the mind of Grimes County residents who are still seething over their elected officials approving tax abatements for the proposed SpaceX Terafab facility at Gibbons Creek Reservoir.
They were submitted by TeraFab AI, LLC, a newly formed special-purpose entity created specifically for this project. The applications paint a picture of a project unlike anything Texas has seen before: $119 billion in total proposed investment across four phases · 22,000+ acres spanning two school districts · 4,234 direct jobs created across all eight applications ·
During the March 2026 launch, Elon Musk framed Terafab as a 1 terawatt per year compute factory. Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI would build it together in Austin on a $20-25B budget, starting at 100K wafer starts per month and climbing toward 1M wafer starts per month (WSPM), roughly 70% of TSMC’s entire global output today.
Achieving this will take an ... is Terafab — a SpaceX/Tesla/xAI venture in Austin aiming to fab 1 terawatt of compute a year, roughly 100 to 200 million advanced chips, in a 100-million-square-foot plant....
Polymarket has no active markets on Tesla's chip milestones, and the Tesla-xAI merger market sits at 99% "No" probability by June 30, suggesting that traders aren't pricing near-term validation of Musk's integrated compute thesis. Investors can hold both ideas at once. NVIDIA's moat is enormous and self-reinforcing, while Tesla's AI5, AI6, and Terafab work could legitimately reshape inference economics if even half of Musk's claims land.
Door deze stijging overschreed de waardering van SpaceX kortstondig die van Amazon en kwam deze in de buurt van 3 biljoen dollar, voordat er bezorgdheid ontstond over een obligatie-uitgifte, hoge uitgaven voor het Terafab-datacenter en het aanstaande verstrijken van de lock-up-periode voor insiders.
