On August 6 local time, Tesla and SpaceX confirmed a joint investment to build the "Terafab" super chip factory in Texas. The project’s initial phase requires $16.8 billion, with a theoretical long-term investment ceiling of $119 billion.
The accompanying vision is even more ambitious than the building itself. The Terafab website describes the project as a vertically integrated chip factory that will combine logic, memory, and advanced packaging under one roof.
SpaceX plans to develop Terafab, ... phase represents an estimated $16.8 billion capital investment and is expected to create approximately 3,000 jobs....
Which leads us back to the Terafab. Most believed that Musk would just do the same thing that the rest of the semiconductor industry is doing to produce advanced semiconductors, which is using ASML’s (ASML) EUV lithography machines.
The accompanying vision is even more ambitious than the building itself. The Terafab website describes the project as a vertically integrated chip factory that will combine logic, memory, and advanced packaging under one roof.
Governor Greg Abbott announced this week that SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI will jointly develop Terafab, a 100-million-square-foot semiconductor fabrication campus on more than 6,000 acres in Grimes County, roughly midway between Houston and College ...
Musk's Terafab chip factory project, moves that reflect how cloud providers are increasingly pursuing multi-vendor foundry strategies rather than relying on a single chipmaker. Intel's balance sheet already carries an unusual backer.
Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, has described building such a facility as an “extremely hard” challenge. The potential investment is also enormous. Estimates cited by Tom’s Hardware suggest Terafab could ultimately require ...
Texas actively competes for large corporate investments through tax structures, economic-development programs and incentives. Perhaps most importantly, Musk already has extensive operations and employees in Texas. Every additional project creates more opportunities for the companies to share talent, suppliers, logistics and infrastructure. Terafab therefore strengthens an industrial network that has already been forming for years.
Terafab je planirani vertikalno integrirani kampus za proizvodnju čipova koji zajednički razvijaju Tesla, SpaceX (s xAI-jem pod svojim okriljem) te, od 7. travnja 2026., Intel. Za razliku od klasične tvornice čipova, cilj mu je smjestiti ...
The company filed regulatory documents in May 2026 outlining the $55 billion first phase and the eventual $119 billion total, indicating a long-term commitment to internal chip manufacturing independence. NVIDIA stock surged as SpaceX commits to an exclusive GPU partnership, reflecting market interest in the companies’ semiconductor strategy. Reuters — Confirmed SpaceX and Tesla’s $16.8 billion initial investment and $119 billion full project scope for Terafab · Fox Business — Reported facility
Tesla needs Terafab to protect gross margin on millions of cars and eventually one million Optimus units per year of capacity. SpaceX needs raw wafer volume to feed satellites launching every week and the Colossus II build-out.
Fred Lambert | Aug 10 2026 - 6:55 am PT · 78 Comments · SpaceX confirmed it will power Terafab, its $16.8 billion chip megafactory in Texas, with its own natural gas power plants and “very large battery arrays.” Tesla solar isn’t in the plan.
And the appetite for physical compute isn’t confined to the usual suspects: Tesla and SpaceX’s planned “Terafab” project in Texas, which would combine chip fabrication with advanced packaging under one roof, is a reminder that demand ...
Terafab will make two chip families: edge-inference silicon for Tesla vehicles and Optimus robots, and radiation-hardened processors for SpaceX's orbital data centers. Both are planned on Intel's 14A process.
SpaceX and Tesla have now confirmed that the completed campus in Grimes County, Texas will feature more than 100 million square feet (9.3 million square metres) of manufacturing space.
They manufacture the EUV lithography systems that define the bleeding edge of semiconductor production, and after spending a little time learning what goes into one of these machines, you begin to understand why nobody else has managed to compete ...
To power Starlink, AI‑related businesses, and the broader space infrastructure, SPCX is plowing massive capital into the business. Free cash flow was about -$16.8B, and capital expenditures ran near $19.2B. That’s before layering on the new Terafab semiconductor bet in Texas, where phase one alone is tagged at more than $16.8B in capex.

Terafab is planned to produce chips for inference in Tesla's humanoid robot "Optimus" and its self-driving car "Cybercab," as well as high-power chips for SpaceX's orbital data centers.
