Tesla’s forthcoming AI5 uses a half-reticle design, which is crucial for yield. A reticle defines the imaging area of a lithography machine, fitting two chips per shot effectively doubles yield. This means the Tesla chip design team had to carefully manage die features, for instance dropping the older ISP (and classic GPU) to make room for more AI cores. By contrast, NVIDIA’s Blackwell fills nearly a full reticle, making it a single-reticle design. If Tesla hits its compute and efficiency targets with AI5 in this half-reticle format, it’s almost like cutting fab requirements in half. And this has a big impact on Terafab, especially if it carries forward for AI6, AI7, etc.

Terafab may be the most essential vertical integration Tesla has ever undertaken— and it is truly non-optional. It will take years to build and will test even Elon’s speedrunning abilities to the limit, but that won’t stop him from trying. The breakthrough likely lies in overhauling the overall facility’s cleanroom model. By moving wafers in sealed pods with localized micro-environments, the fab no longer needs a monolithic ultra-clean space. Elon’s line about “eating cheeseburgers and smoking cigars” on the fab floor isn’t silly, it’s the practical reality of a radically simpler, cheaper, faster approach that could finally change the economics of chipmaking. This is all forced by the brutal “pinch” in chip supply. Tesla must produce on the order of 100–200 billion AI chips per year just to saturate its roadmap. That volume powers: FSD cars & Robotaxis (tens of millions of vehicles needing AI5 inference for near-perfect autonomy), Physical Optimus (scaling from thousands today to millions per year, each requiring AI5/AI6-level compute), Digital Optimus (the new xAI-Tesla software agents for digital/office automation, running massive inference clusters), Space-based data centers (AI7/Dojo3 orbital compute for GW-scale training and inference beyond Earth limits). AI5 delivers the ~10× leap for vehicles and early robots; AI6 shifts focus to Optimus + terrestrial DCs; AI7 goes orbital. No external foundry (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) can deliver that scale or timeline— hence the Terafab launch. Without it, the entire robotics + autonomy future hits a brick wall. Terafab isn’t optional; it’s the only way forward.

Can you please update cybertruck software to leave "slippery surface" ON rather than defaulting to OFF every time the driver exits the vehicle? Making frequent stops in winter weather requires the driver to continually switch it back on. Not only frustrating but can be dangerous trying to get it switched back on while driving. Thanks!

There isn’t a garbage can at this Tesla Supercharger and people just leave their trash here.😖 Although there should be garbage receptacles, I still think you should take your trash with you if there isn’t one. Wait until you find a garbage can somewhere else! Leaving it on the ground like it’s a landfill is not okay.

@autumntjohnson @SimonMahan Range anxiety for me disappeared in 2016 when I got my first EV. In 2026? Worrying about range is like worry worrying about dysentery. Especially if you get a Tesla. They will not let you run out and make it effortless on long trips.

Hey #energytwitter, I need to buy a new car this year. And I’m really struggling with why range anxiety is a factor in switching to an EV. Can’t I just rent a car for rural road trips? And why is the battery life problem an issue if it has a 10 year warranty? To me the real issues are cost and how many car seats I can fit. 🤔 #evs

@wmorrill3 can you please have the @cybertruck team update the software to leave "slippery surface" mode on until the driver de-selects it? It's annoying having to turn it on every time when making frequent stops! Thank you!

First look at the interior of the redesigned and production version of the @Tesla Semi. • 10 cameras • In-cabin attention monitering camera • Changed side windows so the driver can reach out • Cupholders moved farther up for easier access • Larger side storage area next to cupholders • Wireless phone chargers • Two 16" screens Video via @corememory: youtube.com/shorts/ZArd3by…

People spend more family time together after work , especially with sports and after school activities . Seems better from that aspect to have more sun time in PM hours. Really you could not change the clock and have the world start work everywhere when the sun rises instead of isn’t a specific time maybe that would solve the problem lol

Judging by the number of ‘fucks’ and ‘god damn this Chinese piece of shit’ that have been echoing through the house this morning, I don’t think we will be purchasing any LG appliances ever again… PS: My husband may be a total asshole sometimes, but this is 100% why I would choose a masculine man over anything else!!

Maybe anecdotal , but every person close to me who hasn’t purchased an EV still asks “how far can it go on a charge” and “how long does it take to charge?”. Optics still there. Usually I then go into explaining you aren’t charging 100% on a road trip and just need enough to get you to the next charger , usually 15-20 minutes charging at a time

I'm on the same level as @wholemars 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Matthew thinks 90% of EV buyers are obsessed with charge curve. I point out that the top selling EVs in China have low range and sub 100 kW charge rates and that makes me biased. The overwhelming majority of global car buyers are motivated by price, not range or charge curve.

I love how well my @tesla Model Y drives using FSD, such a pity that its speed limit detection outside the city is mindnumbingly bad. For faster speeds it is less than 50% accurate. Robotaxi this definitely isn’t, 100% needs supervision.
