In the landscape of the Texas plains, something revolutionary is on the horizon: Elon Musk’s latest venture—a colossal chip manufacturing facility unlike anything before. Dubbed TeraFab, this mega-project could shape the future of semiconductor manufacturing, bringing forth both audacious aims and unprecedented challenges.
As of August 2026 reporting from TechTimes, Terafab’s design has crystallized into two separate fabs rather than two lines within one facility: one dedicated to Tesla and xAI’s AI5 and AI6 inference chips for Full Self-Driving (FSD), the Cybercab robotaxi, and the Optimus humanoid robot, and a second dedicated to the D3 chip, the radiation-hardened processor built for SpaceX satellites, xAI’s orbital data centers, and the Starshield defense constellation–a fab expected to serve more than 6,000 a
SpaceX and Tesla said they will build their planned advanced chip manufacturing complex, called Terafab, in Grimes County, Texas, outside Houston. The companies said they will make an initial investment of $16.8 billion in the project.
