Tesla projects capital expenditures to exceed $25 billion in 2026, driven largely by investments in AI infrastructure and factory growth. Spending in the first half of the year nearly matched the company’s operating cash flow.
It is called Terafab, a chip factory in Grimes County, Texas, just north of Houston. Tesla and SpaceX are putting in $16.8 billion to get it started. The plan is more than 100 million square feet of manufacturing space.
Ce recrutement pourrait sembler anodin à première vue, mais il constitue en réalité un signal fort. Si Terafab investit effectivement dans le développement de ses propres technologies mémoire, le projet pourrait à terme remettre en question la domination exercée depuis des années par les trois géants du secteur : Samsung, SK hynix et Micron.

SpaceX — which includes Musk's artificial intelligence company formerly known as xAI — revealed in its first earnings report this week that its spending skyrocketed 300% year-over-year to $28.5B in the first half of 2026. That spending, the majority going toward its AI data center build-out, caused skepticism among analysts who see it as far outpacing the company's revenue growth. The company didn't mention the $16.8B Terafab investment on its Tuesday earnings call.
SpaceX and Tesla have officially chosen Grimes, Texas, near Houston, as the location for an unprecedented microchip manufacturing facility called Terafab Texas.

The factory is a joint effort with Musk’s electric car company, Tesla. "This facility will house the manufacturing, packaging and testing of advanced logic and memory devices," SpaceX said in a press release Thursday. "Terafab will produce chips optimized for edge computing and inference for use in hardware like Tesla’s Optimus robots and self-driving Cybercabs, along with high-power chips designed for operating SpaceX’s space-based data centers."

Tesla and SpaceX officially broke ground on Terafab on August 6, 2026 — a $16.8 billion semiconductor megafactory in Grimes County, Texas, built to supply chips for Optimus robots, Cybercabs, and SpaceX’s planned orbital data centers.
The initial phase of the fab unit is expected to cost $16.8 billion, though SpaceX had previously estimated it would cost $55 billion. The fab is intended to build chips for data centers that will be run by SpaceX and its xAI subsidiary.

Musk has had his sights set on this project since March, when Tesla and SpaceX first introduced the Terafab concept with an even bigger headline figure of $25 billion. That number has since been revised down to the current $16.8 billion for ...
To put that footprint into perspective, Tesla watcher @niccruzpatane cooked up a size comparison showing that TERAFAB could fit ten Giga Texas factories inside its footprint. The single building will also be large enough to swallow the U.S.
