Tesla and SpaceX confirmed the location of Terafab, a semiconductor megafactory in Grimes County, Texas, with an initial investment of about $16.8 billion. The site will cover over 100 million square feet, making it the largest chip manufacturing facility globally. Terafab will combine logic, memory, packaging, and testing under one roof, producing chips for Tesla’s Optimus robots, Cybercabs, and SpaceX’s space-based data centers. At least 3,000 local employees are expected to work there. The plant will use water from the Gibbons Creek Reservoir for cooling, avoiding local groundwater use.
