Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
Dedicated, purpose-built AI training data center on the north side of Tesla's Giga Texas campus (unincorporated Travis County), separate from and adjacent to the original Cortex cluster. Trains neural networks for Full Self-Driving and the Optimus robot program; uses Nvidia GPUs. First ~250 MW targeted online with a full ~500 MW buildout targeted mid-2026; construction began early 2025. Coordinate is the Giga Texas campus point; Cortex 2.0 is a specific building on that campus.
Grid power from Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative (Giga Texas sits in unincorporated Travis County within Bluebonnet's — not Austin Energy's — service territory) is the primary supply, but Tesla has built genuine on-site generation and storage that make this a defining mixed story.
