Key point
SpaceX and Tesla are pushing to build the 100-million-square-foot Terafab in Texas.
Details
SpaceX and Tesla plan to construct the Terafab semiconductor manufacturing facility in Grimes County, Texas, USA.
- Total scale: Approximately 100 million square feet (approx. 9.29 million m²)
- Phase 1 investment: Over $16.8 billion
- Expected employment: 3,000 people
- Production target: 1 terawatt of compute annually
If completed as planned, it will be more than five times larger than the New Century Global Center in Chengdu, China, currently the world's largest building. Terafab is designed as a vertically integrated factory combining logic, memory, and advanced packaging in a single facility, intended to support the AI and computing demands of SpaceX and Tesla.
Specific construction and operational schedules have not been disclosed, and the scale and production targets are planned figures based on Musk's statements, the Terafab website, and announcements from the Texas Governor's Office.
