Tesla, SpaceX, xAI announce TERAFAB: 1TW/year megafab to power AI robots and space satellites
Elon Musk's companies are launching TERAFAB, the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, targeting over 1 terawatt of annual compute production combining logic, memory, and packaging. Around 80% will fuel space-based solar-powered AI satellites, while 20% supports millions of Tesla Optimus robots, closing the compute gap for stellar-scale ambitions.
This hyper-scale fab could supply 100-200GW chips/year for Optimus alone plus terawatts in orbit, revolutionizing AI compute availability for robotics and cosmic exploration.
