Two distinct chip families are in the pipeline: “D3” chips designed specifically for space deployment, and AI5/AI6 chips intended for ground-based applications like Tesla’s full self-driving technology and xAI’s model training infrastructure.
The company designs its own Full Self-Driving chips, develops custom AI accelerators, manufactures batteries, builds electric motors, and writes much of its own software. SpaceX follows a similar philosophy, manufacturing rockets, engines, avionics, satellites, and launch systems internally whenever possible. TeraFab extends this philosophy into semiconductor manufacturing itself.
This manufacturing capability positions ... sectors. SpaceX has a role in Elon's Terafab project, a chip manufacturing initiative with a goal of producing one terawatt of compute ......
According to Musk, the TeraFab will make two different types of chip - one for Edge inference workloads, suitable for vehicles and robots, and another, more powerful, line of semiconductors, hardened for space environments.
Radiation-hardened space chips — high-reliability processors for SpaceX satellites, orbital data centers, and deep-space missions · That dual mandate is what makes Terafab unusual. Most chip fabs specialize in one process node or market segment.
At full capacity, it will produce an annual 100 to 200 gigawatts of computing power on Earth, as well as 1 terawatt of computing power in Space (this means that the chips produced at Terafab will ultimately draw that much power when deployed). For reference, Musk said that the U.S. electricity demand is 0.5 terawatts. This is why, Musk argued, 80% of Terafab's compute output will actually reside in space, on SpaceX's solar-powered AI satellites.
Terafab is a planned semiconductor fabrication plant jointly developed by Tesla, SpaceX, and Intel. The venture was announced by Elon Musk on March 21, 2026 and centers on the construction of a vertically integrated large-scale facility designed to produce more than one terawatt (one trillion watts) of artificial intelligence (AI) compute capacity per year. It aims to produce integrated circuits, memory modules and multi-chip ...
