Musk: Tesla's Gigapress Chip Factory Terafab to Start in 7 Days

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Musk stated that Tesla's massive semiconductor chip factory project, Terafab, planned to be built in the United States, will commence in 7 days.

The Terafab chip factory is on a much larger scale than traditional ones, integrating logic AI chips, memory, and advanced packaging all in one facility. The primary goal is to produce 100 billion to 200 billion chips annually, with an initial capacity of 100,000 wafers per month, eventually scalable to 1 million wafers per month, far exceeding current mainstream factories like TSMC and Intel.

Musk's original intention is to address Tesla's explosive AI computing power demand by producing in-house chips for Dojo supercomputer, FSD autonomous driving, Optimus robot, Robotaxi fleet, etc., avoiding reliance on external suppliers like TSMC, Samsung, etc.
