Dude… the Texas Gigafactory is already three times the size of the Pentagon, over 2,500 acres, with the main building exceeding 10 million square feet—equivalent to 100 football fields. Now Elon says the Gigafactory will reach 100 million square feet, ten times larger than the Texas Gigafactory!

@pbeisel Yes, 100 million square feet is a suitable order of magnitude.

Terafab will be Tesla’s most important move to secure its future in artificial intelligence.

If you continue to short Tesla and think it's just a car company, you will eventually face harsh reality.

If you thought starships were big enough… then take a look at the size of SpaceX's AI satellite Mini. And this is just the mini version, with a power output of only 100 kilowatts. Future satellites will reach megawatt levels. Wow…

Given that many companies are producing advanced chips, but no company has yet built a fully reusable rocket or reached SpaceX's scale, I believe Starship is even more challenging, but we'll have to wait and see. Terafab will technically consist of two wafer fabs, each producing only one chip design. This significantly simplifies the process flow and allows FOUPs (first-item manufacturing units) to move more linearly and compactly. The extremely high throughput allows us to quickly test which steps can be eliminated, simplified, or accelerated, even after the design is finalized. Current wafer fabs are very conservative, following rigid rules of historical experience, which are mostly correct, but not all. Any factor limiting machine performance means the machine will have to be redesigned unless it has reached its physical limits. Developing new iterations of chip designs produced daily at wafer fabs (with a latency of less than 7 days) means we can try many high-risk, high-reward ideas. Wait a minute In any case, there is no other way to achieve maximum scale, so either we build Terafab, or we are stuck at the current industry growth rate of about 20% per year for chip/memory production.

Dude… give me an example. Which CEO's ambition can compare to Elon Musk's? This guy wants to build a trillion-times-scale manufacturing machine, extend artificial intelligence beyond Earth, industrialize the moon with robots, and even build mass drives in space to launch the future. Nobody can reach his level.

So… I have to ask, why haven't Tesla and SpaceX merged yet? All indications suggest…

Most CEOs reduce risk as their companies grow. Elon Musk, however, does the opposite. The bigger his company gets, the bigger the bets he takes. What he's done with Terafab is extraordinary. Most people can't even imagine how difficult it is to achieve this…

Nothing in the world can capture my attention more than you.
