Brief
Cortex 2.0: Joe Tegtmeyer reports that his review of nearly 100 Giga Texas permits (shared with subscribers) includes one referencing DH5, implying at least five data halls. Tesla indicated partial operation in late April 2026 (likely DH1–3), with full build‑out expected this fall and a target capacity above 130,000 H100‑equivalent GPUs for FSD, Optimus, and other AI/robotics workloads; the DH5 permit covers structural steel for power, cooling, and rack infrastructure.
Why it matters
Joe Tegtmeyer researched nearly 100 new Giga Texas permits (shared with his X Subscribers and Patreons) and highlighted one permit that explicitly references DH5, indicating at least five Data Halls in the Cortex 2.0 build-out (post published 2026-04-30).
Key details
- According to Tegtmeyer’s summary of permits and Tesla’s statements, Cortex 2.0 was partially operational as of late April 2026 (likely with Data Halls 1, 2 and possibly 3 active) and is expected to reach full operation this fall, targeting over 130,000 H100‑equivalent GPUs to support FSD/Autopilot training, Optimus humanoid development, and other AI/robotics workloads.
- The DH5 permit specifically covers structural steel design work foundational for housing the high-density power, cooling, and racking systems required for a modular data‑hall (Data Hall 5) within the Cortex 2.0 supercomputing facility.
