ELON: TESLA'S PEDAL TO THE METAL ON AI5 & AI6 "Tesla's pedal to the metal max production is to get Tesla AI5 chip design into production and then reaching scale, that'll probably happen around the second quarter of next year. AI6 would hopefully follow less than a year later. We've secured all the chip fab production that we can using TSMC Taiwan, Samsung Korea, TSMC Arizona, Samsung Texas. The limiting factor once you can get to space is chips, but the limiting factor before you can get to space will be power." Source: Cheeky Pint Podcast, Elon Musk

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas – the precursor to Terafab. Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply. This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year The future is built in Texas

Many still don’t understand why Elon is building Terafab Terafab is an extension to all the chip makers in the world It’s not about replacement, not a rivalry and absolutely not competing It’s being built to fulfill the massive chip orders that Tesla, SpaceX and xAI actually need TSMC’s most advanced 2nm capacity is totally booked through 2028 Tesla signed a massive $16.5 billion deal with Samsung back in July 2025 to produce AI6 chips at their Taylor, Texas factory and Samsung is building a Tesla Exclusive chip manufacturing plant to full fill this orders When Elon announced Terafab on March 21, 2026...he made it clear: “That rate is much less than we’d like. We either build the Terafab or we don’t have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab” He basically told the chip makers: “Produce as much as you comfortably can. We will take them all. Actually we want even more” Even today Elon said: "SpaceX/Tesla will be always be major customers of TSMC and not competitors in the normal sense of the word" Current production rates are much less than they need....That’s why Terafab exists Terafab is an extension to every chip maker… not competition, not rivalry, absolutely not Even Intel has joined as a partner Even if chip supply improves, massive bottlenecks still exist with memory and advanced packaging You simply can't risk those supply chain breaks at this scale That’s why Terafab is being built to vertically integrate everything - chips, memory, advanced packaging all under one roof, targeting 1 terawatt of AI compute capacity per year This is a ludicrous amount of chips that no chipmaker currently produces at this scale. I don't think even TSMC and Samsung truly understand these numbers yet It’s about building the capacity the future actually demands

This is my second video clip showing a full autonomous drive by a Tesla Model Y from the Giga Texas factory exit, through traffic (these are non-pubiuc roads) about 1.5 miles (~2.5 Km) to the west End of Line facility. This is more of a side view and shows how the cars get from the end of the autonomous drive into the EOL.

Elon Musk says people with Neuralink brain chips will eventually "be able to have full-body control and sensors from a Tesla Optimus robot, so you could basically inhabit an Optimus robot. Not just the hand, the whole thing. You could mentally remote into an Optimus robot. The future is gonna be weird, but pretty cool."

Big news concerning operational changes at Giga Texas including a push for more public venues & options for direct vehicle delivery from the factory. A few key highlights: Customer direct vehicle deliveries have already been happening at a small level from Giga Texas for a few months ... this also includes the 1st fully autonomous delivery across Austin A new customer direct delivery center (essentially a sales center) is being added on the N end of the W End-of-Line (EOL) facility ... this will be open to the public & will be used for customers who opt for this instead of autonomous delivery to their house Customers will be able to take delivery & complete all paperwork to take possession of their new car at this location New road access is currently being added on the NW corner of the out bound lot, & the N-S road that connects to Tesla Road on the N & River Road on the S will allow customer access to this location This recent decision changed the original plans for a new Welcome Center near Tesla Road ... it will now be constructed in the large plot of land just N of the EOL & use the new public road access as well Discussions continue about the potential second Boring Company tunnel for Model Y transit from the factory to the EOL facility. This debate is ongoing, but I think we will see a tunnel at some point.

ELON: TESLA'S AI5 CHIP IS THE SILICON VERSION OF “LESS IS MORE” "The AI5 chip will be 40 times better than the AI4 chip – not 40%, 40 times. We have a detailed understanding of the entire software and hardware stack. We are designing the hardware to address all of the pain points in software. We know what the chip needs to do, and we know, just as importantly, what the chip doesn’t need to do. A long list of deletions that are very important. As a result of these deletions, we can actually fit AI5 in a half reticle with a good margin for the traces from the memory to the Tesla chip accelerators, the ARM CPU cores, and the PCI blocks. This is a beautiful chip." Source: Elon Musk, Tesla Podcast, October 22, 2025

Elon Musk said Tesla will soon reveal the location and full plans for Terafab and the announcement will get its own dedicated spotlight: “Terafab is going to be an amazing initiative and a necessary one Without it, we will be constrained in our ability to scale Optimus production because we simply will not have enough AI chips We have to solve memory, logic and packaging in order to scale Optimus” Tesla has already placed equipment orders for a development fab in Austin that will bring: • Lithography mask production • Logic chips • Memory • Advanced packaging • Chip testing All under one roof This would allow Tesla to design a new AI chip, manufacture it, package it, test it and quickly iterate on the next version from the same facility A building like this does not exist anywhere else on Earth Terafab is not just another factory It is going to become the chip-development engine Tesla needs to scale Optimus and pursue high-risk, high-reward AI hardware breakthroughs at unprecedented speed

Breaking Giga Texas News! starting today, new vehicles (Model Ys & Cybertruck are moving fully autonomously from the factory to the west outbound lot and without human supervisors! I saw this happening constantly, with Model Ys exiting and immediately driving away on their own from the factory. This is a huge accomplishment for Tesla as now Giga Texas joins Fremont as FSD improves overall efficiency!

I know that people knew Tesla was working with SpaceX on this vehicle, but did Elon Musk just hint that the Tesla Roadster will actually be a flying electric car?

Elon Musk calls Optimus the "most sophisitcated humanoid robot on earth". The Dawn Project attended Tesla's recent demonstration of Optimus serving popcorn. Tesla's event was totally staged and, after being asked directly, Tesla employees admitted Optimus was being teleoperated. The Tesla employees couldn't even tell us how many Optimus robots Tesla has, despite Elon claiming that there would be 10,000 by the end of this year. Tesla is going to need to employ a lot of teleoperators!
