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.

xAI has acquired a third building to expand its AI infrastructure, boosting total training compute to nearly 2 gigawatts. This setup includes a $400 million Tesla Megapack energy storage system and will pair with over $30 billion in GPUs once fully built. The project positions it as the most powerful AI compute facility globally, though future developments may dwarf it.

A Tesla-powered battery energy storage system has begun commercial operations in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan. The 50 MW/104 MWh Helios project, developed by Manoa Energy, uses Tesla's Megapack 2XL batteries to support Japan's grid. It operates as a merchant asset in wholesale, balancing, and capacity markets.

Elon Musk's SpaceX has acquired his AI startup xAI, a move announced on February 2 that aims to integrate space infrastructure with artificial intelligence. The merger highlights Musk's vision of harnessing solar energy in orbit to power energy-intensive AI systems. Critics question the feasibility of launching data centers into space.

The U.S. government has officially announced an agreement between Tesla and LG Energy to construct a $4.3 billion lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic battery cell factory in Lansing, Michigan, with production starting in 2027. These American-made cells will power Tesla's Megapack 3 energy storage systems produced in Houston, bolstering the domestic supply chain.
