Tesla's upcoming chip roadmap reveals an ambitious split: the AI6 generation will power Optimus humanoid robots alongside data center operations, while AI7 integrated with Dojo3 architecture takes things orbital—space-based AI compute represents the next frontier. Here's the kicker: building a massive chip fabrication facility isn't optional for Tesla anymore. Between autonomous robotaxi fleets scaling production, humanoid robots requiring distributed processing, and satellite-based compute infrastructure, the semiconductor demand is staggering. The company essentially needs to control its entire chip supply chain to meet these simultaneous demands. This vertical integration move signals how serious Tesla is about AI infrastructure dominance—whether it's ground-level robotics or literal space-based computing nodes.
