SpaceX's Terafab is a difficult but necessary project that is critical to its valuation and business, and can be successful due to its collaboration with Intel , government support, robust demand,...
Cursor's answer is Cursor Bench, a private eval suite built from real engineering tasks in their own codebase. The compute infrastructure enabling this work comes through a SpaceX partnership announced in March 2026, giving Cursor access to the Colossus supercomputer — 200,000 GPUs stood up in roughly seven months — and the Terafab chip fabrication facility.
CEO Christophe Fouquet confirmed direct talks with Musk and described the TeraFab plan as serious, while cautioning that ASML’s own production capacity could struggle to keep pace with such demand. The venture, which aims to massively expand chip output for next-generation AI infrastructure, would require the advanced lithography tools that only ASML supplies.
However, the main challenge Tesla is facing is the rising capital expenditure trends. The company, together with SpaceX, are spending billions of dollars in Terafab, a massive semiconductor manufacturing plant in Texas.
It’s a challenge that mirrors KBTX’s recent reporting on Grimes County’s negotiations to land SpaceX’s Terafab. The deal appears likely to be largely finalized before the public ever sees the documents behind it — and it’s legal.

Iola Independent School District (ISD) and Anderson-Shiro Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) both voted to pass a partial tax abatement deal for SpaceX’s “Terafab” project in Grimes County.
AMSTERDAM, July 15 (Reuters) - Top computer chip equipment maker ASML said its capacity expansion plans in 2027 and 2028 unveiled on Wednesday along with second-quarter earnings take into account demand for its tools ...
ANDERSON, Texas (KBTX) — A pair of 5-2 votes by school boards in Anderson-Shiro and Iola moved SpaceX-linked TeraFab AI tax abatement deals one step closer to the governor’s desk.
Under the program, Terafab would still pay school bond property taxes and operations taxes at half the normal rate. Those rebates last 10 years per phase. Four separate phases are planned, meaning the tax breaks could stretch well beyond a decade.
GRIMES COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) - Two Grimes County school boards will vote Tuesday night on a tax incentive deal tied to SpaceX’s proposed Terafab facility, a decision that could determine whether one of the largest industrial projects in American history gets built in the Brazos Valley.
IOLA, Texas (KBTX) - The Iola ISD School Board has voted to approve four JETI agreements for the SpaceX Terafab project in Grimes County, paving the way for the project to move forward.
The sheer scale needed is so massive that SpaceX, Tesla and Intel have partnered to create Terafab, a 10-million-square-foot facility being built in Austin and slated to open in 2029 and which could cost up to $119 billion to build.
The Terafab project is astonishing the tech world with its scale. According to Tesla, an initial investment of $55 billion is planned for the first phase. If all stages are fully completed, the total investment could reach $119 billion.
