First impact
Tesla →supply upAI accelerators
Tesla and SpaceX say Terafab will be a massive fully integrated chip factory in Texas that will primarily manufacture AI accelerators, so the announcement adds future semiconductor supply.
“Terafab is set to become the world's largest fully integrated chip factory, primarily manufacturing AI accelerators for training and inferencing, but also solar cells and storage components. The factory is to be built in Grimes County in southeastern Texas, on the outskirts of the metropolis of Houston.”

Terafab is a new semiconductor fab, so the automotive semiconductor/microcontroller category TI supplies should become more available, albeit only indirectly and over time.

Automotive Semiconductors (Microcontrollers & Chips) →supply upA new Texas semiconductor fab would increase future availability of automotive microcontrollers/chips, and this good is a critical downstream user with very high dependency on that input.
74% confidenceAutomotive Semiconductors (Microcontrollers & Chips) →supply upBecause the factory is in Texas, additional domestic semiconductor capacity should raise the United States' share of automotive chip supply.
