Tesla plans to launch 'Terafab' on March 21, aiming to develop AI accelerators and reduce supplier dependency. The initiative targets critical processors for autonomous driving, neural networks, and robotics, marking a strategic pivot towards technology independence.

Analysts suggest the project could require several billion dollars. Tesla may adopt a hybrid model, controlling key processes like chip design while using external manufacturers for production. This move aligns with Tesla's shift towards data-driven services and aims to mitigate supply chain risks, boost development speed, and create barriers for competitors.
