xAI Reveals Photo of 420 Tesla Megapacks at Memphis Colossus 2 Datacenter

Following the initial announcement of its Colossus 2 supercomputer, xAI has shared a photo of approximately 420 Tesla Megapacks—valued at $400 million—installed at the Memphis facility, marking the world's largest energy storage system.

Building on the December 10 reveal of xAI's Colossus 2 supercomputer—the world's largest and most powerful data center—xAI has now disclosed a photograph of its extensive Tesla Megapack deployment at the Memphis site.

This installation includes around 420 Megapacks, an investment of about $400 million, surpassing previous estimates of $375 million. The system ensures reliable power for the datacenter's AI workloads, highlighting xAI's and Tesla's collaboration on scalable infrastructure.

As the largest battery energy storage facility globally, it supports Colossus 2's high computational demands and positions the project as a leader in sustainable AI computing.
