Our goal is for no Tesla battery to end up in a landfill.
Across our US operations, we’re recovering more than 90% of key battery materials like nickel & cobalt from cells that we recycle

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas
In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas – the precursor to Terafab.
Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply.
This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year
The future is built in Texas
Sam Altman asked Elon Musk what he'd do if he were 22 again. Not "build Tesla." Not "start a rocket company." Two words: be useful
That's the whole framework. It sits on two questions almost nobody asks themselves.
How much better is your solution than what already exists?
How many people can it actually help?
Multiply the two. That's your real impact.
Every company that has ever changed the planet started by solving a useful problem for a specific group. Nobody who set out to "change the world" ever did. The companies that transformed anything started by making one boring, useful thing 10x better.
22-year-olds looking for a moonshot miss the actual moonshot sitting in the boring problem next to them.
Be useful. Ship it to a small group. See if they can't live without it. Repeat.
