After many years of ignoring Tesla earnings call when FSD never actually materialised, we are initiating tentative coverage once again based on the TeraFab announcement.
So, Tesla is doing the research fab, SpaceX is doing the initial part of the large-scale Terafab, and then we’ve got to figure out the rest.
Terafab will partner with Intel and use its 14A process technology, which is state of the art, and in fact, not yet totally complete.
