Part 2/11:
Tesla's collaboration with Samsung centers on constructing a state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication plant (FAB) in Texas, with Samsung’s new facility in Texas already underway. The manufacturing site will produce Tesla’s AI6 chips, essential components in powering their evolving fleet of autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, and AI-powered systems like Dojo and Optimus.
Elon Musk emphasizes that this facility's strategic importance cannot be overstated. The Texas-based FAB will be dedicated solely to producing Tesla's AI chips, with Elon himself planning to oversee its development. The facility is enormous and strategically situated near Tesla's headquarters, allowing close supervision, rapid iteration, and direct involvement in chip design and manufacturing.
