"We've got an R&D line that we're building first. So I think it's kind of crawl, walk, run."

— @teslaownersSV

"Origin: partly a 'fever dream,' partly geopolitics — worry chips from Taiwan may stop flowing someday."

— @cb_doge

Key Points

  • Existing fabs cover only ~2% of needed capacity
  • R&D line first: useful chips by end of 2027
  • Geopolitical insurance against Taiwan disruptions
  • Packaging already underway; vendor diversity planned
