TeraFab, a chip manufacturing joint venture between SpaceX and Tesla, plans to achieve mass production in the third quarter of 2028, Elon Musk said during a SpaceX conference call on Tuesday. “I set a huge margin of error on this schedule because we're not sure if we can actually achieve this goal,” Musk said when talking about the schedule. The timeline is a rough plan for the project, which aims to provide artificial intelligence and robotics with 1 terawatt of computing power per year, which Musk himself called “very aggressive.” In the US, it usually takes three years or more to build a cutting-edge logic chip factory. Musk said that in internal planning, Terafab's goal is for the first test chip using a static random access memory circuit to operate normally at the Terafab R&D center in Austin around May or June next year.
