Elon Musk's Tesla, SpaceX Unveil ‘TERAFAB’ Project to Target 1 Terawatt AI Chip Capacity
Tesla unveiled TERAFAB with SpaceX and xAI, targeting 1 terawatt chip production annually. The facility will support AI satellites and Tesla Optimus demand, requiring massive power. Tesla says the project is key to enabling large scale space based solar energy and future multi planetary expansion.
Tesla unveiled TERAFAB on March 22, 2026, partnering with SpaceX and xAI to build the world’s largest chip manufacturing facility, targeting 1 terawatt of annual production. The plant will integrate logic, memory and advanced packaging under one roof. The project supports ambitious plans to deploy 100 million tonnes of solar capture into space each year, enabling solar powered AI satellites and millions of Tesla Optimus robots. Chip demand alone will reach 100 to 200 GW for Optimus, along with terawatts for orbital AI systems, far exceeding global capacity today or by 2030. “TERAFAB closes the gap to a future among the stars,” Tesla stated, framing the megafactory as essential for humanity’s multi planetary expansion.
