(Image credit: Tesla / SpaceX) Elon Musk on Wednesday said that TeraFab plans to use Intel's 14A fabrication technology when it has its own production capacity later this decade and when the manufacturing process matures. He also revealed that Tesla will be responsible for building and operating a pilot production line, whereas SpaceX will be responsible for high-volume manufacturing of chips. TeraFab to use Intel 14A Based on the comments made by Musk, he wants to use Intel's 14A manufacturing technology at TeraFab, which likely means licensing the fabrication node from Intel and integrating it at a fab operated by TeraFab. Meanwhile, Musk has never mentioned licensing per se, which means that while Intel is expected to participate in TeraFab as a partner, actual details of its role have yet to be defined.
