About 3 months ago on 21 March,
@elonmusk announced an ambitious
@Tesla,
@SpaceX, &
@xai Advanced Technology Chip Fab located at Giga Texas just east of downtown Austin, Texas.
This is expected to be "the most epic chip-building effort ever, combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof."
The chip designs produced at this facility will be key elements of future Tesla Autonomous cars, the
@robotaxi service, Optimus Robots & orbiting AI Data Centers, among many more products.
So, how is construction of this new facility coming along?
Here is a 3-month visual recap showing the bulk of the work, consisting of a massive effort to relocate construction offices & trailers, materials & equipment related to past & on-going Giga Texas construction, drillings for soil sample testing, extension of River Rd, excavations for underground water pipes, tree clearing, basic grade work & initial GeoPier construction.
There remains more relocation of workshops & the recycling center before the entire site is ready for construction, but progress is already quite noticeable.
Imagine what this site will look like in 3 more months!
