Tesla’s A15 chip is to be fabbed concurrently on the 2nm processes of TSMC in Taiwan and Samsung’s Taylor, Texas fab. TSMC’s Arizona fab site may be added to the mix and, eventually, Tesla’s Texas Terafab.
Business Insider has reported that SpaceX plans to build out Terafab in Grimes County, Texas, but this is unconfirmed. ... Musk confirmed recently that it would not be on Giga Texas property, as it is simply too large.
The chip is expected to be manufactured at TSMC and Samsung, with high-volume production slated for late 2026 or early 2027. Elon has shared plans to move next-gen chip production to the upcoming TeraFab, but its announcement is still pending.

That same month, Japan's SoftBank injected $2 billion (roughly NT$64 billion) into Intel. In April of this year, Elon Musk's SpaceX went further, announcing that Intel would join its "Terafab" manufacturing initiative to help design, manufacture, and package ultra-high-end chips at scale.
Terawatt-Scale Computing Project Drives: Power Semiconductors Move Toward "Ultra-Large-Scale Mass Production" Looking further ahead, the super project codenamed "TeraFab" aims to achieve total computing chip production capacity of 1TW.
Both Anderson-Shiro CISD and Iola ISD held public hearings last week on the Terafab project, during which residents raised concerns about light and noise pollution, water use, and infrastructure.

Goldman Sachs ‘ estimates assume orbital AI data centers could cost roughly $15 billion to $20 billion per gigawatt, well below the approximately $28 billion to $32 billion per gigawatt often cited for terrestrial AI facilities. However, that cost advantage would necessitate a future SpaceX-Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Terafab manufacturing effort producing custom AI chips internally rather than continuing to rely primarily on Nvidia hardware.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Credit: AFP · Tesla and SpaceX are already converging around chips, talent and manufacturing under Terafab, even before any merger speculation turns into reality.
Musk's Terafab project, which is focused on developing specialized chips for SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla, is at the heart of this collaboration. Details of the Partnership On Tuesday, Intel announced its commitment to work with SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla to "design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale."
The Terafab project — a SpaceX-led semiconductor campus approved for tax incentives by Grimes County in June 2026, with reported investment up to $119 billion and more than 1,800 jobs — is taking shape at the former Gibbons Creek Reservoir site, east of Highway 6 between Navasota and College ...
Each AI1 satellite is designed to support AI chips from a variety of manufacturers, including Nvidia or Tesla’s own 2nm Terafab chips. The computing power of one unit averages 120 kW with the possibility of a peak increase of up to 150 kW, which is comparable to modern server rack equipment.
The challenge, however, is that its profitability remains under pressure. While its core business was profitable, its AI ventures are still burning cash. For example, it is a partner with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in Terafab, a semiconductor project that will cost billions of dollars over time.
And newer fabs will likely incorporate EUV machines as standard equipment. Just last month, Elon Musk addressed ASML employees during a conversation with ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet about the proposed Terafab joint venture between Tesla (TSLA -2.47%), SpaceX, and SpaceX-owned xAI.
At the same time as Apple negotiations ... direct action—converting $9 billion of federal subsidies into a 10% equity stake in Intel, making it its largest shareholder. This move quickly produced a demonstration effect. In September last year, Nvidia announced a $5 billion investment in Intel and purchased custom data center chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it a "historic" partnership. This April, Elon Musk’s SpaceX announced that Intel would join its "Terafab" manufactu
SpaceX and Tesla are building Terafab in Texas, which will cost over $100 billion. In the last earnings report, Tesla hinted that it will not achieve a positive free cash flow this year because of this project. SpaceX is also investing billions of dollars in its AI business, including xAI, even as Grok faces intensifying competition from leading AI models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic.

The analyst stated that the company could also record an IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) receivable this quarter, similar to what Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) did last quarter, which could boost gross margins and provide upside to expectations. Meanwhile, Spak is looking forward to several updates, including a long-term vision for robotaxi, Optimus, FSD (full self-driving), and TeraFab.
As two Grimes County school districts prepare to vote on Terafab tax agreements, newly obtained state records reveal what happened behind the scenes during the application process.
