Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip, designed to power the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, will be manufactured at Samsung's new, massive chip fabrication plant in Texas, strategically located near Tesla's Model Y and Cybertruck production facilities.
"Samsung's giant new Texas fab will be dedicated to making Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip. The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate," Elon Musk wrote on X late Sunday night.
Musk continued, "Samsung currently makes AI4. TSMC will make AI5, which just finished design, initially in Taiwan and then Arizona."
"Samsung agreed to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing manufacturing efficiency," he noted, adding, "This is a critical point, as I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress. And the fab is conveniently located not far from my house."
