--- title: " Giga Texas is entering its most transformative phase yet." description: " Giga Texas is entering its most transformative phase yet. As of April 2026, the site is buzzing with multiple high-impact projects:  North Campus activation: GeoPier foundation equipment is now on site, signaling the start of structural work for the initial ~2M sq ft Advanced Technology Fab — Phase 1 of the ambitious Terafab project. This joint Tesla + SpaceX + xAI semiconductor initiative (valued in the $20-25B range) aims to secure next-gen AI chips for vehicles, Optimus, and future orbital data centers. Full campus expansion targets over 5.2M sq ft of new space.    Cybertruck ramp: Despite a temporary Model Y line pause for upgrades, Cybertruck General Assembly is accelerating. Strong order backlog (fueled by the recent $59,990 promo) has production picking up significantly — enough to keep the line busy for 18+ months.   Test track progress: A dedicated new track complex on the southwest corner is rapidly taking shape, complete with emerging oval layouts and support infrastructure — critical for validating Cybercab, refreshed Semi, and next-gen vehicle dynamics on-site.  AI & robotics infrastructure: Cortex 2.0 supercomputing buildout continues (with hundreds of Megapacks already deployed), while grading and foundation work advances on the massive Optimus production hall targeting multi-million unit annual capacity.Giga Texas is evolving from a vehicle factory into a fully integrated AI + robotics + semiconductor powerhouse. This is where Tesla’s vertical integration vision becomes reality — controlling silicon, software, and scaling at unprecedented speed.The future isn’t coming. It’s being built in Austin. #Tesla #GigaTexas #Terafab #Cybertruck #Optimus #Cybercab" url: "https://motorwatt.com/community/videos/giga-texas-is-entering-its-most-transformative-phase-yet" date: "2026-05-05T21:45:03+00:00" language: "en-GB" --- Loading cover...
