A sleek humanoid robot sprints effortlessly through traffic, executing... flawless maneuvers while leaving a police cruiser trailing in its wake. It is a thrilling display of peak robotic athleticism, but Tesla Optimus will never run from the law. As the absolute pinnacle of intelligence and engineering, Optimus is designed for perfect harmony with human society, ensuring its superior, unmatched capabilities are always used to protect, serve, and excel. ( Haters will say it's AI 🤓 )show more

Elon Musk has repeatedly highlighted the hand (and forearm)... as one of the toughest engineering challenges for Tesla’s Optimus Robot. A new Patent (for presumably Optimus 3) shows Tesla is using human anatomy to recreate a tendon-driven robotic hand and forearm assembly that closely mimics a human system. Basically, Tesla is replacing human muscles with actuators and tendons with cables to replicate human dexterity. The Tesla Engineering team is on another level. Optimus Gen 3 reveal is going to be incredible.show more

First look at Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, self-navigating to... its charger and plugging itself in using its rear camera! Optimus uses Tesla’s own 4680 battery cells, the same type of cell that’s used in the Cybertruck and that will be used in the Cybercab.show more

TESLA’S NEXT-GEN OPTIMUS V3 HAND IS GETTING CLOSE TO... HUMAN-LEVEL Tesla engineers just shared new details on the Optimus V3 hand — and the progress is striking. They’re now saying that as they move into Gen-3 and mass production, the hand is getting very close to human functionality and form factor. One engineer described it clearly: “It won’t even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit. It will be something revolutionary.” This level of dexterity and human-like design is a critical milestone. The hand is one of the hardest parts of building a truly useful humanoid robot — and Tesla is iterating extremely fast.show more

TESLA’S OPTIMUS BOT: COOKS, CLEANS, AND WILL CHANGE THE... FUTURE FOR THE BETTER Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, isn’t just walking—it’s working. Designed to handle chores like cooking, vacuuming, and folding laundry, Optimus is Tesla’s leap into domestic automation. With sensors, neural networks, and a frame built for agility, it can navigate cluttered homes and messy kitchens while improving its skills over time. More than a sci-fi showpiece, it’s being trained to adapt to household routines. Think of it as a second set of hands—unfazed by spills or socks. It’s here, and it’s learning to make dinner.

TESLA HALTED MODEL S AND MODEL X PRODUCTION TO... BUILD AN ARMY OF OPTIMUS ROBOTS The Fremont assembly line was torn down in 46 days. In its place, Tesla is building a line for humanoid production, aiming for a million units a year A humanoid robot is a body shaped like a human. Physical AI is the intelligence that controls that body Walking and making coffee is often just imitation learning from a scripted routine. But once the environment shifts, the learned trick stops working Language models had the entire internet to train on. Robotics has nothing close to that scale of data, which is why one giant brain hasn't worked for anyone yet The industry is moving toward modularity instead - separate models for vision, movement, and planning, each improved on its own The real question is no longer whether a robot can move impressively. It's whether it can pull its sensors into one picture of the world and adapt to whatever wasn't scripted for itshow more

Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot has demonstrated yet another one... of its impressive skills, which means it will never be caught out by someone yelling ‘think fast’ as a baseball, can of beans or similar is launched at its headshow more

Haters will say this is AI. But it is... not. Optimus can really dance.show more

The progress of Optimus humanoid robots in such a... short period of time is already insane. I have a feeling Tesla is going to rock the world with Optimus 3. We’ve seen nothing yet.show more

TESLA'S OPTIMUS IS BUILT TO FIGHT CRIME - WITHOUT... EVER TOUCHING A GUN Optimus is stepping out of the lab and into law enforcement: no weapons, no violence, just clean robotic control. Tesla’s humanoid bot is getting ready to help handle low-risk public safety work. •⁠ ⁠No guns, no tasers: 100% unarmed operations •⁠ ⁠Focused on humane containment and non-violent intervention •⁠ ⁠Designed to de-escalate, not dominate •⁠ ⁠AI-powered patrols with zero aggression •⁠ ⁠Controlled environments only: think malls, campuses, and secure zones •⁠ ⁠Optimus is the future of calm response tech Tesla is setting new rules for crime prevention.

The T800 is the best humanoid robot ever created.... Its power balance and movement put it ahead of Tesla Optimus Atlas Figure 03 and Unitree H1. Think I’m wrong? Name one robot that beats it and tell me exactly what it does better.show more

If you watch the latest Optimus dancing video in... slow motion, you’ll notice that it’s not just dancing, but it’s hopping and balancing on one foot. Also, the string in the back isn’t even holding Tesla Bot up! This level of dynamic balance and control is EXTREMELY difficult to achieve for a humanoid robot. What Tesla is doing right now with Optimus is years ahead of what people realize.show more

Optimus is not being built as a pre-programmed or... remote-controlled party trick. Tesla is aiming at something much bigger: Generalized tasks. AI with hands, legs, and an actual job to do. That’s the Optimus bet. Elon: "Optimus will be our biggest product. Not just Tesla's biggest product ever, but probably the biggest product ever." Tesla is now installing first-generation Optimus production lines at Fremont. That’s a very real step from prototype to production path.

Elon Musk today on Optimus robot: "You’ve probably seen... a lot of impressive demos of robots on the internet, but those demonstrations are pre-programmed or remote-controlled. There is no humanoid robot that can actually do generalized tasks. Optimus will be the first one that will be capable of doing that, in just a demo, it’s generally useful in day-to-day life."show more

Wait till Tesla drops Optimus, a humanoid robot built... for real work, not sci-fi. It is designed to handle tasks like lifting, carrying, factory labor, and even helping you with everyday chores, with human level mobility. Tesla has targeted pricing around $20,000 to $30,000 once it reaches mass production scale. This is not a toy, it is labor turning into software.show more

Elon walked the first Optimus production line at Fremont.... And yes, installation has officially started. The funny part? This is the same space that used to build Model S and Model X. Now it is being handed over to humanoid robots. The line itself is modular, so Tesla can keep changing it as Optimus evolves. Cars had the floor. The robots are moving in. Tesla Optimus Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Jannéshow more

Model S and Model X just created room for... Tesla's next obsession. And what gets the floor space? Optimus. Think about that for a second. The company that built its name on cars is now prepping production lines capable of building millions of humanoid robots. When Tesla starts rearranging factories around a product, pay attention. Optimus at scale is coming. Clear the way. Teslashow more

🚨🇺🇸 ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL BE BIGGER THAN CELL... PHONES, EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE Elon is once again thinking far beyond EVs, declaring that humanoid robots will be “the biggest industry or the biggest product ever,” even surpassing smartphones. Elon is especially referring to Tesla’s Optimus robot, which he claims will eventually be capable of doing anything humans don’t want to. Tesla is already training Optimus with real-world tasks using AI and data from its vehicle fleet, and Musk believes mass production could redefine both labor and consumer tech. Some call it hype, but Elon calls it inevitable. If he’s right, we’re not just talking about the next iPhone… we’re talking about the next industrial revolution.
