SpaceX and Tesla’s Terafab targets 2028 for volume chip production, Musk says

By Max A. Cherney SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 20 (Reuters) The chip manufacturing joint venture between SpaceX and Tesla called Terafab aims to reach volume production by the third quarter of 2028, Elon Musk said on a SpaceX conference call on Tuesday. I put ​big error bars on this because we don t know if we will actually achieve ‌this or not, Musk said, referring to the timeline. The timeline is a rough schedule for a project that aims to produce 1 terawatt a year of computing power for AI and robotics, on a schedule Musk himself called very aggressive. In the United States, cutting-edge logic factories can take three or more years to build. Musk has ‌described ​the planned complex in Texas as combining advanced manufacturing, packaging ⁠and testing of both advanced logic ⁠and memory chips in one facility. On Tuesday, Musk said that internally, Terafab aims to have a first test chip, using static random-access memory (SRAM) circuits, functional in roughly May or June of next year at the
