Tesla has announced plans to build a major semiconductor fabrication facility called Terafab in Austin, Texas, in partnership with SpaceX, to secure advanced AI chip supplies for its vehicles, robotics, and data center projects.
Construction is seen north of the Tesla Giga Texas factory in Austin on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. CEO Elon Musk said Tesla and SpaceX are planning the world’s largest chip manufacturing plant, called Terafab, but said this site would be used ...
40 percent of everything ever launched from Earth is a SpaceX satellite currently in orbit. And then there’s the TeraFab. The Austin facility will house equipment for logic, memory, packaging, testing, and lithography mask production in a single building in order to produce chips for Tesla's vehicles and Optimus humanoid robots, plus higher-power chips hardened for the space environment.
ASML, Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA dominate critical manufacturing process steps. Additionally, Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix provide advanced memory dies. Therefore, TeraFab must place multi-billion-dollar orders years in advance. So far, public filings show no firm purchase orders for EUV or immersion lithography tools.
A 2nm fab requires multiple High-NA EUV lithography systems from ASML. These machines cost hundreds of millions of dollars and have waitlists that span years. We have not seen any confirmed orders from Tesla in the ASML backlog yet. The clock for a fab does not start when a press release is issued; it starts when the equipment slots are secured. Furthermore, a facility like Terafab requires thousands of specialized engineers.
Elon Musk announced TeraFab, a $25 billion joint chip fabrication venture between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI targeting two-nanometer process technology. Ram Ahluwalia calls the entire thing bullshit.

Elon Musk has revealed plans for a massive expansion in computing capacity through a new facility called Terafab in Austin, Texas. The plant aims to generate one terawatt of computing power annually, dwarfing the current global output from ...
Positive Sentiment: Chip-equipment and supplier tailwinds — Markets are already pricing potential beneficiaries of Musk’s fab plans (ASML, Applied Materials, etc.), which validates Terafab’s economic ripple across the semiconductor supply chain. Chip Gear Stocks Jump · Neutral Sentiment: Merger/speculation headlines — Analysts (e.g., Dan Ives) are speculating about a possible Tesla?SpaceX tie-up or merger down the road tied to Terafab; this is highly speculative and could swing sentiment but is
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang has expressed his hope that Taiwan Semiconductor, the chip manufacturing giant responsible for producing nearly all of NVIDIA’s advanced semiconductors, can provide more capacity.
