Elon Musk's TeraFab will be tracked here.
As planned, the TeraFab will be a massive, single-campus facility that dwarfs TSMC's Arizona presence in sheer target scale and vertical integration.
Chips: Elon Musk has partnered with Intel -- using its 14A process technology -- to build this fab.
Power: SpaceX is powering the Terafab project using its own dedicated on-site natural gas power plants and large battery arrays, and there is no official confirmation that Caterpillar is involved in the earthmoving.While initial dirt work has commenced at the Grimes County site, specific heavy-machinery contractors handling the site preparation have not been publicly detailed by Tesla or Space
On-site generation: According to announcements from SpaceX (reported via Electrek), the $16.8 billion Phase 1 facility in Grimes County, Texas, will run on its own natural gas power plants.Battery storage: The facility will also utilize "very large battery arrays" to handle load demands rather than relying on Tesla solar panels or local municipal utility grids.
Location: The mega-factory is rising at the former Gibbons Creek Reservoir site, utilizing the existing reservoir footprint for water storage and cooling needs instead of local groundwater.
Query:
Based on public information, is it possible Elon Musk will contract at least part of the TeraFab infrastructure with Lancium?
